Days 'til Selection Sunday: 13 (does it really matter anymore?) Days 'til Spring Practice: 26 Today's RPI: 47 Latest Projection average: NOT INVITED TOURNAMENT
So I'm still a little in shock that we were handled at home by Auburn. The chances of another trip to the dance look very very slim (which might be better, because I won't have a biased opinion of anything going into the office pools). We'll have to win against Ole Miss and at Mississippi State, and then win probably at least two, and maybe three in the conference tournament (which will be next to impossible).
You've got to wonder how stressed out Mark Gottfried is right now. Even when he's had teams that have under achieved, they've never been this bad.
And what's worse is that, even though we suck, we can still win out and have a bye in the conference tournament. So one has to ask the question...
Does the SEC suck this year?
Honestly, this could be the worst year for SEC basketball in a LONG long time. Or, you could say that it's better because everyone is more even. There's no clear cut "better" team, other than Florida, who has fallen as of late (and this is NOT a good time to forget how to play together).
For Alabama fans, the future does look a little bit bright. Because our starters are putting forth no effort, CMG has been forced to play a ton of freshmen who are still getting used to conference ball. Yeah, we'll have four of the starters back next year, but the people behind them may fight for their spots. Which is something that this team needs. They NEED to fight for something. Anything. Seriously. I haven't seen the original starting lineup play hard all year.
And for the love of God, why can we not figure out the press? It's ridiculous.
Ahhh...another Monday. When do NIT tickets go onsale?
