Hoops 🏀 Nate Oats & players Friday NCAA Tournament presser

Mark Sears: "From the first Monday, Tuesday we've just been doing skill work."
Sears: "We just gotta realize it's a new season, everybody's 0-0."
Mark Sears described Spokane as a "quiet" city. Estrada seconded that. Said the landscape is similar to what he had at Oregon.
Aaron Estrada on his past games against Charleston: "I kinda know their system... I kinda know how they play I know a lot of players on that team. I'm already knowing what to expect."
Nate Oats: "We felt like we maybe could have been a little bit better but we've had some injuries, didn't close the season really well without injuries."
On Charleston: "They're not going to be intimidated by us."
Oats said Griffen and Wrightsell will both be fully healthy. "I feel like we're as close to healthy as we've been in a while."
Nick Pringle is available for tomorrow's game. He was dealing with a personal issue, which caused his late arrival.
Oats: "The last two days we haven't done any live stuff in practice but I thought Monday and Tuesday they really got after it."
Oats on Charleston: "They have some definite actions that you have to know how to guard."
Oats said he thought he sent a similar message on defending to last season: "We don't have Herb [Jones] or Charles [Bediako] so it's harder to be third in the country in defense."
Oats: "We're a lot closer to being a championship-level team than we were two years ago."

Football 🏈 SEC will stick with eight conference games in 2025

According to a report from 247Sports, the conference will stick with an eight-game schedule in 2025. The start times for games will change, however. Games can be pushed back 45 minutes, which will lead to more staggered finishes.

Football 🏈 Nick Saban didn't retire because of NIL. He's also for revenue sharing with the players

Don't take my word for it, take it from the man himself. He is also for revenue sharing with the players. I would post the link but don't want to post a story from another recruiting site.

No, not at all," Saban told Fox News' Bret Baier. "I just never wanted to see the program go down, and I felt whether it was recruiting or hiring coaches and people wanting to know how long you're going to be here. When you get to 72 years old, it gets harder and harder to promise people you're gonna be there for four or five or more years.”

Saban added, "I love coaching. We adapted well to the system. At Alabama, we were one of the 'haves' in this new, current system, even though I see some serious problems with it moving forward in the future."

A solution to those problems? Saban thinks that officially sharing some of college football's revenues with players could be a way to formalize the situation and make things more equitable for the athletes on the field.
