I am considering making a bracket for the first time ever, just so I can pick Bama 98 to 0 over Auburn in the final.  :lol2:

What is the link?  I started filling one out on ESPN.COM but it doesn't ask me for a group name.

I was at a knife show last weekend in Tupelo.  A lady across from me was wearing a Kentucky shirt, and she sat to watch the KY-TN game on her phone all Saturday afternoon.  She was suffering with it, occasionally got up and walked in circles, and ended up miserable when they lost.  I'll bet she's drunk this morning!

Yep, I had them winning 3.  Mine's ruined too.  
And I'm laughing at them anyhow.  :lol2:

They missed the first 5 free throws during OT.  They were horrible and looked disorganized.  With a chance to win in regulation, one player took the ball the length of the court, ran into the deep corner, and threw up a prayer from behind the basket.  Stupid, selfish play.

I had them as part of my all SEC final four.  Maybe the SEC is not as strong this year as everyone thought.

Apparently, the SEC sucks more than we thought. UT lost to a team today that had no business being in the dance at all. Michigan beat them 76-68. Michigan's record was 17-14.

SEC definitely stinking the place up right now. I knew S. Carolina would lose since their non-conference schedule was a cupcake special. Watching Samford/Kansas and KU can't seem to miss a shot. Plus, their starters are huge compared to Samford. KU has a 7'2" center, 6'10" forward, & 6'9" guard. Samford has a 6'9" starter and next tallest is 6'6" and they have a 5'8" guard. it's getting a little out of hand right now, 36-22.

Bama and A&M salvaged the SEC in Friday's games. Yale, of all people, beat mighty Awbren.  :lol:

Colorado beat Florida in a wild one. Grand Canyon upset St. Mary's, so Bama plays Grand Canyon next.

Bama, A&M, and 10rc are the only SEC teams left out of 8 in the tournament.  :facepalm:

10rc plays Texas today, battling for the right to own the 'UT' moniker.  :lol2:

And Bama women advance in the tourney beating FSU.  #+

Bama beat a tough Clemson team 89-82 to advance to the Final-4 for the first time in program history.  Now they have to beat a smoking hot, high scoring UCONN.  This will be the toughest game all season IMO.

Yeah, this may be the end of the road for Bama but I am so proud of this team for making the final four, especially the way they shipped the bed at the end of the regular season and SEC tourney. If Nate Oats doesn't win coach of the year, he should come in second only to Dan Hurley.

WAY TO GO, BAMA!!! ROLL TIDE!!!
