They were out. Now they are alive.

Miller wins it for them.

Unbelievable.

I like him but his style is prone to upset and I’m still jaded at how much money they cost me that final 4.

Auburn and Ttu were superior imo,

You have to accessorize

I need to point out this Notre Dame sequence that I will argue cost them the game and shows you why they’re 2-15 in a horrible conference. Start the video at 3:29 if it doesn’t do that automatically.

Hammond on ND gets his pocket picked and Davis gets a layup. Fine. Hammond comes up lame at the end of the play but they inbound it to him anyway, he inexplicably starts dribbling anyway and continues even after Davis is hounding him. He loses it again and UNC passes it around for a three pointer.

I think I’m sold on Brandon Miller as a player. Definitely not just shorter Jabari Smith.

On the court, #2 or #3 in this draft

Wemby >> Scoot >> Brandon Miller > Everyone else

Alabama’s best player scored 41 points including a game-winner and their Twitter account didn’t tweet about him or mention him or show his image once.

NCAA Tournament media stuff is going to be an absolute shitshow if they just keep rolling like this.

Watching all the Bama posters online turn into paralegals in the last 48 hours has been quite the experience.

Key detail–“Brandon Miller’s attorney”.

I particularly enjoy all of the Bama fans adamantly stating that they would feel the same way about this were it a rival SEC player.

It also doesn’t really address why he felt the need to inform the gun was in the car and loaded

“There is a loaded gun in the car!” - to nobody, for no reason, as I leave it unlocked

I don’t believe it was him that said that. It was someone else that sent the text about the gun being loaded. Also possible I’m getting something mixed up

I believe it was Miles (the requestor) who told Davis (the shooter) that there was a loaded gun in the car after they got in.

  1. i think there’s extremely good reason to be suspicious about how the legal system plays out in favor of big-time athletes, especially in relatively small towns where those athletes are valuable to lots of powerful people

  2. i think he should’ve been suspended unless the defense attorney’s version of events is 100% accurate, and even then, the attorney doesn’t dispute a ton - just reframes it? so probably suspended anyway

but

  1. i also think there are lots of good reasons to not take police reports as gospel, even in this specific case and involving a police department that is obviously beholden to the UA AD. PD incentives don’t necessarily align with finding out the absolute truth of a situation so much as they align with closing cases quickly. i don’t think history demonstrates that defense attorney narratives are flawed in a way that police reports aren’t
