Alabama vs Notre Dame Game Thread

Are you serious? They beat gonzaga and Baylor ooc. We lost to Lafayette. I refuse to believe people don’t understand this.
You are pretty shortsighted. We beat Purdue when they were 1 . We beat 4 ranked teams back to back . They lost to Georgia and Missouri not just 2 of the worst teams in the SEC but the country and they did not lose on a buzzer beater but by 6. You know what. I think you know shit . Teams get misseeded all the time. You cannot justify their 6 seed and Rutgers being put in play in game. It sucked and a bad job by the committee.

Does Notre Dame being 9-15 from 3 validate our game plan?
It was a solid game plan and it worked . We just didn’t execute at the end.
I also think pike walked out of the iowa game and said I am not gonna get killed by the 3 again.
 
Its as if people on this board totally think that non conference 1/3 of the season does not play a big role
Examine their wins and their losses. They have some of the worst losses in the country and comparable to our Lafayette and UMASS losses.

They beat 4 top 10 net schools..their wins are better and their losses are better. Their sos ooc dwarfs Rutgers period
 
sick to my stomach watching this game... what a missed opportunity. but it is what it is. With Pikiell I'm sure we will get more opportunities in tournament

Alabama has a sos of 1 and non conference sos of 1

They struggled as SEC play wore on and thats why they started falling down the seed line..they were a 6/7 type team and were seeded appropriately based on their resume. Rutgers was also seeded appropriately
 
Notre Dame with a blow out lead 76-62 with one minute remaining.Qinnerly injury in first half finished Alabama scoring.
 
Irish red hot. UCLA of 2022? Maybe they didnt burn themselves out in the ACC regular season. Who knows? But rgey are better than anticipated and look like they are tough to depend
Texas Tech has the defense to short circuit them I think

They weren’t seeded correctly based on their losses and their final record. We were correctly seeded at 11 but should never have been seeded behind Michigan who should have been in the play in game.

Michigan beat their 6 seed WITHOUT their starting PG and people still think Michigan was not seeded correctly? Come on man.
 
Lol no..we lost to 319 Lafayette at home
Georgia was 223 in the NET by far the worst POWER 6 team , had less wins than Lafayette. Missouri was 149 in the NET. Both worse than any team in the BIG 10 . You can try to justify that , but you would hammer RU like you have all year for that Lafayette loss in November. Alabama lost to Georgia and Missouri in January when they are supposed to get better. They lost 2x to Auburn and 2x to Kentucky and beat Tennessee and Arkansas at home so 2-4 against the top 4 in their league. Your viewpoint and the metrics geeks tried to use that loss to put us out of the tourney and eventually to a last 4 in team. Did not prioritize who you beat. Just a stupid way to select the best 37 at large teams without looking at how you did overall against the field. If you rewarded Alabama with a 6th seed because of their great out of conference wins then your failure to reward Rutgers and give them not only an 11 seed but a play in game is just plain wrong.

Who cares, we couldn't beat an 11 seed

There is no way anyone can assume we would have beaten Alabama because ND did. ND spreads the floor and Alabama wasn’t used to it just like we weren’t. Our game with Alabama would have been entirely different than NDs. That being said, Alabama was way over seeded.
 
I was over the double OT loss and this has brought it back a bit. Missed opportunity. Still proud of the team and the excitement they generated.
 
Sitting at the bar here at the Hawk ‘n’ Dove in DC, watching college hoops. We had the athletes to go far this year and last.

They beat 2 #1 seeds and Lafayette is worse than losing to Georgia
