[James Benedetto]

Alabama head coach Nate Oats talks about the No. 1 ranking before its trip to face No. 10 Tennessee.

"No. 1 in the country on Feb. 14 doesn’t really mean anything other than the fact that you’re playing pretty good basketball at this stage."

Tennessee's size scares the heck out of me and then they have that little point guard that makes everything work. Vandy and Missouri are playing good ball right now, except for that thumping Vandy got in Tuscaloosa. If we have to go without Bediako, we are going to have a lot of problems with the bigs of Tennessee.

l hope to see Nick Pringle step up on defense if Angry Chuck is not a 100%. l like Gurley as an all around player, but he is not very good at covering a big center. May have to rely on Clowney some in that role.

Don’t have to worry about that top ranking anymore at least.
