Huge win.  Someone posted that Bama got better in the KY game even though it was a loss.  Maybe that showed up tonight.  So we came through the first conf games 2 - 2.  Decent start.  Hope the team can build on this win and not regress.

It's always good to beat the Barn in anything!!

Tide went 2-2 in a tough 4 game stretch of Florida, Miss State, UK, & Barn. Still a tough road ahead with Missouri, Vandy, K-State, & LSU are next four.




 :popcorn2:

2-2 is a great result for this team through that stretch.  Even better is that the team looks to be "getting it" and improving.

I don't think you get to do an "Ugly" for this game.   :lol2:

This win moved us up 14 slots in the NET ranking (the new "RPI type" ranking that the tournament committee looks at) from 58th to 44th.  If we can get that in 30s, we should be able to get into the tourney even if we do not make the magic 20-win mark.

Our SOS is at 14th hardest thus far.

Some good Twitter fodder after the game.

It looked like Pearl was about to have a heartache at any time.  You could even see his red face on TV. 

I wonder what Pearl had to say to him going home. RTR!
