My bad.

I have no judges rulings against me this year. In fact Mr. Softee simple judge apparently put me on ignore.

The football program is in decline even with Saban. The basketball program is in ascendance. It is only a matter of time before they are Kentucky without the whites-only titles.

Saban retired.

So by the "tournament span" does Torvik mean only the teams that played in the NCAA or NIT. If that is the case #53 is not at all impressive. They gave up 96 to Charleston (average 80), 87 to UNC (average 81.5, and 82 to Clemson (average 77.4). Their defensive masterpiece was giving up 61 to 12 seed Grand Canyon (average 79.8) and this was Charles Barkley's quote regarding the GCU's offense "I’m not sure what they were doing offensively, I don’t think they ran a play in the entire second half… That was some of the dumbest basketball I’ve ever seen grown college men play.

I was mostly trying to make the point that it's still not "good" even if they're impressed by it.

They're right to think their defense in the tournament has been better.

On Torvik, they're #117 in defensive efficiency for the season. For the tournament span, they're #53.

Better, but still not amazing.

OK, so then they're in the Northwestern or St. John's range of mediocrity on D instead of BC or Kentucky.

Those fans are going to experience what their dominant football team did to the other teams, but on the opposite side.

Not Roll Tide, but get rolled over Tide

 

[QuickDraw]

the tide isn't coming in, it's rolling out
LOW TIDE!

And Okafor only played for the first 40 seconds of the 2nd half until Calhoun decided to rest him for his back injury.

IIRC, an Alabama player hit EO with a hard foul (nearly pulled his head sideways) and Emeka had a sore neck, which was a concern leading up to the final four.

 

[FfldCntyFan]

The Pace they play at is way too fast and we are not conditioned for such a game. We have not faced anyone like Alabama.

 

[Khal Drogo]

That’s actually the president of the University of Alabama.

Waiting for him to throw chicken legs to the alligator

My daughter who is clueless about sports, asked why in the hell they are named after a woman's period.

 

[uconngb]

I know it's tempting to get into it with opposing fans online, but there's no upside - I leave that crap for non-blue blood programs. I'll bet the majority of Alabama fans haven't seen a single UConn game all season, let's hope we give them an education Saturday night.

Let’s get Rashad in the building for good mojo. His first half that night was beyond en fuego

 

[Jaker]

I can still hear Coach K to the refs: "You cheated us!!" LOL

 

[TheChamps990411]

With UConn chasing them off the 3-point line and daring them to see if Donovan Clingan can block 1,000 shots.

I have absolutely NO DOUBT the refs have received their instructions from the NCAA.

 

[JB75]

What a joke. Castle 13

 

[TheChamps990411]

Add this to the wall of disrespect. Castle the 13th of 20 FF starters:

Funny because id put Diarra ahead of Loyer lol!

There was only 68 teams lol

 

[Leebo]

There was only 68 teams lol

124 teams played during the timeframe that I filtered for. There was more basketball than just the NCAA tourney going on.

 

[uconnblueinky]

MOJO people MOJO..
There is not enough doom and gloom on this board regarding this game and it’s making me nervous.

Alabama should be taken seriously. They hit threes in bunches , played a pretty solid schedule, hung with some tough teams this year and are playing pretty well. I remember some unbeatable Houston , Georgetown , UNLV, Duke and heavily favored UConn teams losing in this tournament in years past.

 

[ec33]

Saban retired.

"Proofing error" - Alabama WAS in decline even with Saban.

OK, now?

Our exuberance here notwithstanding, we know. Danny has likely informed the team that they facing the equivalent of the 90-91 UNLV team and that they must act accordingly.

[QuickDraw]

[NJHusky]

That was the dagger 3 against Washington to force OT in 2006

Thx. Just rewatched it. Looked like he got bumped too. Lol. Onions!!
