kicking the door in to play in t-town.

This is great stuff. You can see some of Pannones fingerprints in small ways. Our off ball movement has improved without a doubt without it being too much to mess with Oats system.

Where Brailsford is transferring out? Anybody else hear anything on this?

Just another team whose name has a C in it? Going to have to be giant killers to beat this Connecticut team.

NCSU #30 still tickles me. boy just a heartattack at 25 looking at him

these teams cant shoot at all. too bad we get UConn and not these two debacles

For all of the hoopla and talent surrounding last year’s team, in the end that team relied heavily on freshmen. When you look at coach Cal and his yearly failures he is typically relying on 4-6 of the best incoming freshmen every season. I know you always take a Stevenson, Miller or Clowney when you can but the data is strongly pointing towards building your team every season through the portal. I wonder if we’ll start to see, and maybe we have at other schools, coaches significantly cut back on recruiting high school kids. As somebody mentioned yesterday, Stevenson isn’t the same “kid” that he was 4 months ago. If he puts up another solid effort against UConn I think you’ll see him be tempted to leave for the NBA.

I am heading out to Phoenix on Wednesday. Fortunately, I already have my tickets as I got them through the NCAA lottery, so I was going even before Bama punched their ticket! Obviously, now it's an even more special event to attend! I would certainly like the opportunity to meet some of the posters on this board (notice that I didn't say all!) while there. Tony, Jordan, Jack, Dean, Vegas, T-Wigs, etc. any ideas on locations to Bama events during the Final Four? I know that Bama's open practice session is from 1:00-1:50 on Friday, so I know that I will be there to watch. Probably head to Fan Fare at the convention center after that.

Since this is such a special week in Bama Basketball history, we should also have a truce on this board - no bitching, no personal wars, no name calling, etc. No mention of any other sport this week and focus on the business at hand! Our "Dream" season is finally here (I've waited almost 60 years for this moment!), and we should thoroughly enjoy the fruits of this teams' labor and have nothing but positive vibes! Let's all pull together and bring home our First Men's Basketball National championship in the same stadium that we beat Clemson in the football NC game in 2016! Roll Tide!!

Best Bama non-football day in history. That dude is about to cyanide himself.

going crazy or make that crazier, but i think we are going to beat uconn.

@Jack Knowlton @Jordan Harper @mr4bama @Dean Harrell @Tony_Tsoukalas and to everyone I left out.

A few years ago we were begging for coverage and you guys stepped up and have gone 10 times above and behind.

Just wanted to say thanks!

…just over three months apart.

Has any other school done that?

It's about that time. Predictions, Tide fans?

Alabama's first scrimmage was closed to the public, but I was able to gather some intel from a few sources in attendance. Here's what we learned, including:

— A look at the QB room
— A healthy Parker Brailsford absent from scrimmage
— A nice day from Alabama's backfield
— Caleb Odom looking solid at receiver
— More
