So our path is:

30 win team in their backyard.

Kansas

unc

kentucky

virginia or tenn

zags or duke

It's a tall order that is for sure but boy isn't it nice to get to have these conversations!

Top NIT seed Bama falls to lowest NIT seed Norfolk State at home. Capacity crowd of 2k.

Quote

Alabama was the No. 1 overall seed in the NIT after being left out of the NCAA Tournament.
The Crimson Tide then drew No. 8 seed Norfolk State for their first-round matchup, and the game was played in Tuscaloosa. However, it didnâ€™t go according to plan for the Tide.

After going to overtime, Norfolk State ended up pulling away from the Tide and won by the score of 80-79.

With shitty play and shitty refs there at the end, how in the hell did we get out of there with a win?
Brown could have had a bit better game. And they out-rebounded us 43-28? And we were supposed to have the bigger team?
Spencer with 0 points. Doughty and Wiley only 4?

Thank God they choked at the line at the end!

Lets hope the next game we get a runner.

File it away and move on. Live to fight another day.

That's right. One game we suck and the next we're unstoppable. That's kinda who we are.

For what its worth, nearly every talking head I heard this last week seemed to think the Aggies would beat AU, but....................they didn't. Me thinks this tough team to start will equal at least a Sweet 16 match up against the Tarheels.

jmar · « **Reply #413 on:** March 21, 2019, 04:54:37 PM »

We can knock down threes limit turnovers and beat ANYBODY.
We just play ugly when we aren't.

AUTailgatingRules · « **Reply #414 on:** March 21, 2019, 06:16:50 PM »

I'm just glad we won. I would hate for my brackets to be busted on day one.

Snaggletiger · « **Reply #415 on:** March 21, 2019, 10:17:52 PM »

Happy with the win. #27 on the season BTW. Agree with jmar above. Hit 3s and eliminate turnovers and we play with anyone. If not....struggles. Here's to Rock Chalk Fuck Y'all. Beat KU.

Buzz Killington · « **Reply #416 on:** March 22, 2019, 10:25:00 AM »

Coming off 4 games in 4 days, then having to adjust to the elevation, it just looked like they were gassed at the end. Hopefully two and a half days of rest can take care of a lot of that and they will be ready tomorrow night.

The South bracket (somehow located in Columbus, OH) is fuckin with my mojo.

I think it's south of Cleveland. But yeah I see what you mean.

Chalk talk gimme balk. Choke!
Good guys 89. Lesser birds 75.
