I really didn’t need a world where Alabama was good at basketball too.

A million times this. My sister’s long term boyfriend is a Bama fan. I don’t need this.

how many total points does Alabama need to feel safe? Maybe 15 more?

I think that’s a 3

Unless the one shift at the very end took his feet across - my replay doesn’t have the feet at that point - but he was set up behind the line

Yes. Agreed.

Yep, that’s gotta be a 3. I assume they’ll check the replay during the timeout.

Although, since he was just trying to get three free throws, he probably doesn’t deserve three points there. Like, in a karmic sense. :grinning:

I’d prefer to take out a storied program like UCLA in the next round.

Just rewound - it’s definitely a 3!

I’d prefer to take out the lower seed, who’s lower on KenPom.

I guess let’s just compromise and try to do both. :wink:

So how good is UCLA? Jesus Christ.

My biggest fear is that whoever wins this game will just light it up on Tuesday because right now it’s ugly basketball

I’m pretty sure UCLA has made their share of BS 3’s tonight, despite the overall percentage

I’m rooting for UCLA but not quite as enthusiastically as I was when they were behind.

I mean, they’re hitting some silly shots, and Alabama is missing their shots.

UCLA is clearly a program finding its feet late in the season, though. And I think we beat either handily, ceteris paribus conditions obtaining. :slight_smile:

5 seconds is longer in this part of Indianapolis, I guess.
