Bama is in good shape with their RPI but they have hit "crunch" time now and some wins are a must. They can't afford to lose any games at home.

:( Dream on Alice. CAG knew our NCAA Tourney ship[ had sailed before he sent his starters packing. I guess they could win out to make the dance but horses will learn to read first.

Our tournament hopes are not dead IMO. We have a good RPI and SOS. We need wins at this point. It has been a while since we have had a quality win so we need to beat Florida or Miss State. We need to go 4-2 minimum the rest of the way. Another concern is now the committee views this team. If Green and Mitchell do not come back they may discount our early quality wins. We need to play like the bubble team we are and win every game and remove any doubt. Easier said than done but we still have talent on this team. We just don't have any quality big guys other than Jacobs.

I agree with your analysis. UF is very beatable on the road, so we can beat them if Jacobs & Cooper play like they did against LSU. Plus, the return of Releford & Steele is huge. Don't be shocked if one of them has a big night scoring, especially hitting the 3.

Probably best for recruiting to make the dance, even if one and done. But for preparing our young players for next year, and building on this freshman class foundation, it may be best to again go deep into the NIT for the experience.

We aren't dead, yet, but we have to start winning. Grant needs to make up his mind and make an announcement about Mitchell & Grant's status. Are they coming back or not? I see some real dithering here. Mitchell has been out 3 games and it's time to crap or get off the pot.

I agree MD. Good job. We need people on this team and future who Bleed Crimson and want to be in the Bama family. RTR!

We only dropped three spots to 35 after the Florida loss.

CAG has his job cut out for him the rest of the way. If Green and Mitchell do not come back, and at this point I do not expect them back, we do not have any size on the front line with any playing experience. Our back court will improve because they have to. I hope the team works hard to get better each game and not just mail it in. We may lose more than we win the rest of the way but I want to see improvement even in a loss.

Hard to believe we're still as high as we are.  We haven't had a quality win in a long, long time.

I agree with what MD said.  Its time to either announce how long JG and TM are out, say they are gone for good, or get them playing.  CAG owes me nothing, but as a fan I would like to know what to expect.  Should I plan a trip to NO for the SEC tourney, or will it be a one and done with the 4 guard + 7foot blunder twins playing.
