Alabama basketball picked to finish fifth in SEC

Even that’s disappointing. With Miller and compan, I was expecting a big year. There’s always Soccer.
If the SEC is as good as expected finishing 3rd would be a massive year.
How many games have we played? Its a little early to give up on the season. If I wasn't a Bama fan I would be skeptical of this new group.
5th in the SEC would still likely be a top 25 campaign. Far from a disappointment. It’s a tough schedule with a young team, but this team can get back to a top 5 seed
Then you just want to be depressed.
Please don't tell him we were picked a lowly 20th in the preseason poll.
I think they have a better season than last year.
Ok, y’all talked me into it. I’m jacked!
I like where we're ranked. It's better to climb to the top and much harder to live up to a lofty rank. Like last season we were predicted to finish 2nd in the SEC and we finished 6th.
I think we will have a much better team than last years. We have solid quality depth at every position.

That's dumb. Third in the sec this year would be a really good year.
I'm certainly wiser than someone who thinks a 3 seed would be bad lol
after our recruiting classes and what we’ve been hearing about Miller, I was expecting a run at the SEC championship considering we won it a couple of years ago. It depends on your perspective. You think Kentucky will be happy with 3rd? SA.
We’ve had solid recruiting classes but not UK level. Arkansas has absolutely smoked the transfer portal. A top 3 sec finish is likely a tournament 2-3 seed this year.
It's not about perspective. You're just wrong. The 3rd sec team in the preseason poll is #11. You'd be disappointed going into the ncaa tournament ranked #11? No you wouldn't.
Just shut up ***hole. Everybody else is nice but you have to be right and ***hole.
Anyone who thinks being a very good basketball team is actually bad deserves a bit of sass to knock some sense into them
I'd love to win the sec. But if we finish 3rd in the sec we'll be a 2 or 3 seed in the ncaa tournament which is definitely not a disappointing year.
Absolutely not. My expectations were set higher and actually holding out for a title.
A 2 or 3 seed in the ncaa tournament is playing for a title. What are you talking about?
I'd rather make the final 4 than win the sec and I seriously question the intelligence of anyone who disagrees
I’m not respond anymore. I didn’t say I disagreed with that. I’d rather have the final four. There I said it.
In terms of expectations, I will be disappointed if we don’t win it all next year. As exciting as it is to advance in the tournament, the further you advance, the more heart broken you are if/when you lose. Realistically, I have just wanted our teams to be like the 80’s and early 90’s teams, which is talented enough to be a true contender in the tournament. Most years the best team in the regular season doesn’t even win it. So, as long as you are playing strong BB at seasons end, and you have enough talent to be a real contender in the tournament, that is all that really matters. From there it is about who gets hot, who gets a lot of breaks or the ball just bouncing their way on a certain night, etc. Our teams in the 80’s and early 90’s were like this, and many had mid tier seedlings.
Third is disappointing in basketball? With a team this young? Wow.
Based on what exactly? Most likely are going to be disappointed. It is what Bama basketball has done for decades.
I think Tide Fanatic was saying that tongue in cheek after CNO brought us a #3 ranked recruiting class. With 2 5 stars and some depth at the 4 and 5 positions and hopefully some shooters, we have a chance to make some noise IF these guys are ready for the grind of a tough schedule and the always rough and tuff SEC schedule.
pwest you know there is a new regime running the program now that has already broken records right? I truly wish you wouldn't come on the BB forum and spread your Debbie Downer syndrome attitude about Oats teams before this one has a chance to play a couple of games.
Lighten up my friend, I think they will do well this year, even with the other teams improving too like Arkansas, Tennessee, and Auburn. Kentucky is loaded this year and we would be ahead of the game taking one from them at home.
