Oats’s fifth year on the job has been, without question, his best coaching job yet. Consider all the obstacles in his way: Seven of his top-nine scorers departing either for the pros or the transfer portal; his projected starting point guard, Jahvon Quinerly, hitting the portal in late June; all three assistant coaches leaving for head coaching jobs; starting 6–5, the program’s first losing streak in nearly two years … the list goes on

Alabama is averaging 91 points per game, a total no team has topped in 15 years. From an efficiency standpoint, the Tide’s offense is the fourth best in KenPom’s database, which dates back 25 years.

Too bad that didn't matter yesterday.

We just can't physically guard really good/elite offenses. Our only shot in March is getting good matchups. Even then, ceiling is pretty low.

I'll be ecstatic if we win 2 games in the tourney. Hell even 1 game.

Yeah I'm not expecting to make it to the sweet 16 again. Entirely possible, but they'll have to be hot and get a good matchup.

It wouldn't have mattered anyone else. Even these top 4 seeds.
If UK can strengthen its defense it can make a deep run in the tournament. Same can be said about Bama. Wouldn't surprise me if the SEC had 3 in the Final 4.

Once College Basketball 2k8 gets revamped, I'm gonna get full revenge for what UK did to us.
