November: Other NCAAB Games

[Karmacop]

Purdue beats Bama in impressive fashion.

UConn now likely to take that #2 spot.

Solid win for Butler over SMU

Bama has the same problem as last season. Defense. Their offense is getting them to the 2nd weekend alone

Meh. People think Alabama is good offensively because they have a lot of talent and are good at making tough shots. Maybe they shouldn't take so many tough shots. This feels like a team that will get bounced in the Sweet 16.

Easy to say. Would love to see any team go into Mackey this early in, including the Huskies, and win. Big Cliff felt a bit of an awkward fit tonight, may take some time to figure out how to use him. TKR ate them up in the paint.

Does make you wonder why Hurley never got involved with Cliff.

Kam Jones is better than Sears.

Am I a lunatic?

This is a fun game (I like Jones a lot).

It seems crazy to be predicting the NCAA tournament in mid November. These teams will be vastly different as they all develop by that time.

Because Cliff was openly asking for very large bags of cash

I am predicting a Top 4 team will get bounced in the Sweet 16, so I wouldn't say it is easy to say. That said, Alabama's NCAA record is mixed:

2021 - 2 seed Alabama beats two double digit seeds, loses to 11 seed UCLA
2022 - 6 seed Alabama loses to 11 seed ND in the first round.
2023 - 1 seed Alabama beats a 16 and an 8, loses to a 5 in the Sweet 16
2024 - 4 seed Alabama makes Final Four

I have always felt that Oats has one of the biggest payrolls in college basketball but his team takes bad shots and makes just enough mistakes to put themselves at risk of an upset despite having a ton of talent.
