He confused Maui with the Bahamas but after that I agree with him. I predicted 9-9 in conference which would certainly get us in. But I am very nervous about it. Can’t wait to see how we play at Bama in our first true road game. That is where I mostly nervous. Do we have the stones to finish on the road and win at least 2 games there. I don’t expect to win at Bama but will also be watching how well we compete.

UND (north dakota) came close! Let's hope we're shooting well and then anything can happen.

Beating michigan prolly shocks me more than beating Bama would imo

Will be OU’s 1st true road game so I’m expecting an L. If we keep in under 10, our NET should improve.

Bama is very winnable.

Bama is way better than Michigan. And they also have a big who will give Godwin fits. Add in the fact it's a road game, and we will be a much bigger dog in this one.

Obviously the result of the game remains to be seen. There is no question the betting line will have us as much bigger dogs. The line against Michigan opened at +2.5 and closed at +3.5. Bama has three or four NBA guys on their team. It's a very talented roster and they have already played a ton of good teams. I'm genuinely curious to hear why you seem to think this is an easier matchup for us.

I think a big part is Bama's top 4 bigs combine for 19 shots a game ... Michigan's top 2 bigs combine for 16 ... bama doesn't play through the post like michigan does ..

Yep. Bama primarily uses Sears to create things for them. Nelson is very good and will hurt us if Sears gets past us and we have to help.
