With LSU losing to UGA tonight, Alabama can clinch its first outright SEC regular season title since 2002 with a win over Arkansas tomorrow.
With LSU’s loss....
- Thread starter Jordan Harper
- Start date
And Illinois losing opens the door for Alabama to potentially move into the top 5 with a good week this week
Bama just needs to take care of business in Arky tomorrow.
We will see how bad they want it. Do they want it as much as the football team? We will see.
I'm looking for one of the best games of the year from Bama. And you know Arky gonna bring it at home. Should be a great game.

Yeah I'm not so sure comparing this basketball team's "want to" to that of a decade long football dynasty is a fair expectation. I'm sure these kids don't spend one second wondering how they can be like the football team. Let's just let them do their thing as basketball players.
You missed the point by a mile. Has nothing to do with success. Has to do with desire and seeing if they can step their game up. Never said anything about them wondering how they can be like the football team. LOL

Anyone else following these sec games? A lot of good basketball by 4 or five teams out there right now. Odds of us getting that tourney championship feel smaller to me now than before. Getting this one tonight will go a long way for our confidence and momentum. Really need to get back to playing our best ball these next few weeks!
SEC Tournament is always a grind. Just have to hope that Kentucky avoids the 8/9 seed.
Harper:
Hasn’t it been like 10 years since Bama won a match up with both teams ranked? Bama #6 Arky #20?
Loss both ranked match ups with Oklahoma and Missouri?
Time to get over that hump?
The game tonight has nothing what so ever to do with football. If the talent difference were the same as the football teams we would be in good shape. Lets let our basketball team stand on their own-
good or bad
Arkansas was such a big rival in the 90s....loved those games
Who can forget Eric Richardson's shot at the end of the Arkansas game in the semi-finals of SEC tournament. That is one of the top ten shots that I have seen in Alabama history.
Does anyone have a picture of Porter Powers shot to beat Auburn in Garrett Coliseum. I think it may have been in 1963. In those days Alabama-Auburn played each year, twice in Garrett. Auburn would usually play Kentucky in Montgomery.

I want KY again. I want 3 victories over them. That is something I am sure we have never had.
Ok then. Whenever I see comparison of the two squads it reminds me of all of the folks who rush in to bball threads when Bama lose to bash the guys because they don't go undefeated like football does. Same people who will be ready to roast Oats if this team doesn't make it out of the first weekend. If none of that applies to you then I apologize. Rolltide.
I was at that SEC tournament game. It was actually Elliot Washington who made the game winning shot from the corner.
Such a stupid reply. No one ever said it had anything to do with football. It was a Statement made saying will they step up like the football team did.
No apology necessary. I think this team has the potential to be a final four team. I was just trying to say this Arkansas game is a step up your level of play type game. And will they step up tonight like the Bama football team did when higher stakes were on the line. In no way was I trying to compare the to the football team. To me this is a Bama how much do you want it game and that was my meaning. Roll Tide . Hope Bama wins a SEC title tonight.
You may think that was a stupid reply, but was just my opinion.I get a little touchy after
basketball has been treated like a step child for so many years. At least you are a basketball
fan and take the time to post on the basketball forum.I respect your post and know you meant it in a good way.
Stupid was a word I should not have used. I regret and apologize for that. I just was trying to say that I want to see this team reach a different level tonight than they did against Oklahoma and Missouri. I think they can. We will see though. Roll Tide
