Fighting Will Wade’s vs. Bama
- Thread starter Team America
- Start date
Nothing would make me happier and laugh harder than to see Bama go down to McNeese. I think they only were a 15 or 17 pt favorite (maybe -14.5?), so that was surprising.
Still making those strong @$$ offers.
The announcer said Will Wade thought Alabama has the potential to be as good as the 96 UK team. What's Wade been smoking?
Will Wade would be good hire at Florida. Paying players is legal now
Because the prick can coach. He'll be back at a major school sooner than later
#2 team in the country and empty seats everywhere. Bama only cares about football.
They won’t start coming till SEC season and the playoffs are over.
Phantom call there. I guess refs are in the NIL now, too.
Alabama with 2 straight single digit wins against cupcakes.
Next 4 games to end month are against top 25 or power 4 type teams.

Bama clearly hasn’t quite hit their stride yet. My observations are that although depth can be an asset, they have so many guys getting playing time right now that they haven’t really gelled into a solid rotation with defined roles yet. The other early impression is that their outside shooting may not actually be that consistent outside of Sears and Wrightsell. Getting Youngblood back for conference play should help with that given his career percentages, but that’s something to keep an eye on given how they’d like to play.
Arky St and McNeese aren't exactly "cupcakes". Both are the preseason favorite in their conferences (voted on by the coaches in their conference). McNeese won 30 games last year. Arky St is coached by a longtime Oats assistant, so it's safe to say he's well versed in ways to compete with them.
You think ? Alabama is only the 2nd ranked team, so even though they played Bama tough, a loss was expected. But, it wasn't a BIG *** loss, simply a close one.
That’s the beauty of basketball and why you shouldn’t get too high or low during the regular season IMO. A lot of Bama fans want to whine when the tide fails to win or win by 15. Just make the tournament baby and see what happens. It takes every single one of those 28 regular season games to form a team come March. They have the right guy running things now and I feel like UK does too.
