The storyline is breaking so nicely for us. Take out the bad guys, revenge on Creighton and Houston, and then either revenge on UConn or an all-West final vs Gonzaga. Would be sweet, literally. Let's take care of Bama first. I like this line of thinking...our guys haven't lost composure often this year, so why not a big win today?

Brandon Millers says he feels like he is 100%, but coach Oats says he still is not. What's the truth here? Perhaps coach is worried about taking an L and wants an excuse if they fail? Neither person has much credibility with the truth so they're probably both lying. And hopefully, after a full half of being badgered by the AZZZZZZZZtec defense, we'll all see what the truth is … and make no mistake, Miller will be constantly badgered …

I heard this on 760AM about an hour ago:
The players are NOT thinking they are now playing with "house money". Rather, they see this as a great opportunity.

Play hard and loose. I know this sounds contradictory, but it will work. Go Aztecs.

Spread down to +6.5. Late money is on us. That’s a good sign.

Coach Oats seems to be really focused on winning the rebounds.

Alabama is so much taller than us. We never seem small.

Chicken wing not called...I like the full-court pressure.

Why Johnson did not grab that free ball is baffling to me.

It looked like Johnson whiffed on that potential turnover. We need to take advantage of every one of them.

Two fouls on Bama, one on Butler, the other on Bradley and they Zebra's didn't call them. Butler got hammered and Bradley got hooked.

Good defense as usual, must get on the boards and make some shots.

Alabama is so much taller than us. We never seem small. I was thinking something similar. We do look small and it has hurt us on the rebounds. I think we will make some adjustments and do better. If we play defense 3-4 shots every time down we are going to wear out quick. We need to hit the boards harder. Nerves are clearly impacting both teams but good start.

They're going to have to keep it going. Round one is a draw.

Refs have already been trash.
God I wish Johnson had some offensive game. It’s almost criminal that he has been there for 4 years and doesn’t have one

Not liking the early refereeing. We'll see if the fix is in.
