if you’re oates you better not be telling your guys to drive and get fouled. they will not call it.
Auburn v Alabama
- Thread starter TomTraubertsBlues
- Start date
I hope this same thing happens to ole Bruce in the round of 32. Lol.
Hopefully smarter, the beginning of that interview was rough lol
0-2 since they acted like fools post game on the Rupp floor. Not mad about it one bit!

On the receiving end of the paddle since then, lol.
Oates can coach ! ! ! You think it was just fortuitous that Mark Sears got the ball on the right side of the floor with two screeners set up to his left ? I don't. As one of the commentators said with about 5 seconds on the clock .. you can't let Marks Sears to to his left !
IMHO, great end-of-game coaching by Oates!

Also shows a failure by Pearl and the Auburn players to make sure and take that away.
I agree but Pearl surely could have countered. Two good coaches and two really good teams. Brutal SEC.
This is why Pope is not in COY consideration. Pearl and Oats are just the two best coaches in America right now. They've had amazing seasons in the toughest conference. We've done well, but they've just done better.
On to the SECT.
And it's Oats. Why do people keep putting an E in it?

Sadly with our performance the last several years, just playing Saturday will be a win.
That was a final four type game and Bruce came up short again. Alabama losing on thier floor to Florida earlier in the week then beat Auburn the overall 1. We're the hell do you seed these SEC TEAMS NEXT SUNDAY?
we won’t be clowning around in this tournament like our previous coach. whether we win or not will have more to do with the competition than how cal treated the tournament in general.
Most common spelling. I am sure it was Oates in England, Some 'merican could not spell dropped the E.
Oh and Warren sez
Warren Oates was born and reared in Depoy, a tiny rural community in Muhlenberg County, Kentucky, located just a few miles west of Greenville, the county seat. According to the federal census of 1940, he was the younger of two sons born to Sarah Alice (née Mercer) and Bayless Earle Oates, who owned a general store.[1][2][3] His brother, Gordon, was five years his senior.[

It's just silly at this point. The dude has been coaching at Bama since 2019. And people wanted him here at one point. It's not like it's a hard name to spell.
Yep, sears said the play was drawn up by Oates. Pretty smart to let the phenom bring up it, and maybe that gets the defense thinking that the kid who will play in the big league next year will shoot it, but he was a decoy and hands off to Sears and lets him drive left. Good Nate call.
I think auburn and Florida are clear 1s. Alabama and UT are 2s. UK is a 3. Maybe a and m is a 3?
Beyond that idk. Good luck committee.
Whats the earliest you think we play another sec team in the ncaas?
If we make the sweet 16 im almost certain we play a sec team
Mayyyybe second round?
Hope not

Sounds exactly like the type of storyline the NCAA Committee would seek too

Look for Arkansas to be perhaps an 11 seed. Maybe they are n Dayton so they would have to win 2 to get to UK. I doubt Thiero comes back so doubt they would make it to round of 32 without him.
Cynicism? I’d sign up for that in a heartbeat. This team is prone to letdown games as a heavy favorite and that would be a game I know our guys would be ready to go for. A revenge game would be great imoSounds exactly like the type of storyline the NCAA Committee would seek too

Yeah the committee does a little bit of looking out for the top 4-6 teams as far as the first two rounds. If you’re outside of that they start looking for storylines. A few weeks ago Lunardi had UK matching up with St John’s and/or Arky in the first two rounds. Just brutal.Sounds exactly like the type of storyline the NCAA Committee would seek too

Their last 7 games were crazy:
-Auburn x2
-at Mizzou
-Kentucky
-MSU
-at UT
-UF
Their easiest game was against a top 30 kenpom team. They had 4 games against top 5 Kenpom teams and a road game against Mizzou. Crazy hard schedule to end the season.
I've wondered about St Johns too - seems they're rated high enough we wouldn't see them until S16 at least - dunno
I wouldn't mind a rematch with Arkansas in the SECT though
