Current top 25 or when they played? I don't take stock in beating a team over ranked that falls apart later in the season. Just because they you are ranked in the top ten to start a season doesn't mean you deserve to be there.

3 years ago this would have been a loss by 20+ points. To go to OT with a 6-1 Big 10 team and a chance to win; I call that major progress and our future is very bright. They are getting better every game and it's all about how finish in B-Ball.

5 wins over top-25 teams. 11-1 against a consensus top-5 strength of schedule. I don't care much for style points, marquee wins, or "Heisman moments," etc. They have a consistent, accumulated success. They're deserving.

That is one way to look at it. The fact that Leday disappeared though in this game is worrisome. They had bigger players but not really skilled big men. Its only going to get tougher for Leday.

The last play frustrates me because they didn't move the ball around so it allowed pressure on Allen. Even if it was going to go back to Allen, it should have rotated around the perimeter like we did the rest of the game and work it until Allen got a cleaner look. Another tough one possession loss.

We did better at guarding the perimeter in the second half which got us back in the game but any time you give up TEN threes you are likely going to lose. Don't feel terrible though, Miami has already allowed Nebraska to hit five threes in less than 10 minutes. We shot 41% from outside and 78% from the line so definitely a step in the right direction.

Not a very good possession after that last TO, but still better than the Delaney dribble at the half-court line and throw up a 30 footer courtesy of Greenberg's ingenuity...

A quick search of a few different metrics ranks Alabama's strength of schedule at 1, 2, 5, 5, and 17. They haven't played scrubs. For me, I put stock in Sagarin's rankings, which has Alabama at 5 in terms of SOS.

That's been the case with this team all season. I understand they're trying to exploit the new rule changes, but I feel like no one even looks for the open kick-out when they drive in.

Clarke had a good look. But we may have had a better opportunity if Allen hadn't tried to force and nearly turned the ball over. But I agree with you. This team has showed over the past two games that we can compete with good teams and even beat good teams.

There were several of his drives into three paint defenders that had shooters open with decent passing lanes

When he figures that out he's going to be a great player. Or if he figures it out. But I can understand Buzz wanting to go through Allen on that last possession. He was having one heck of a night. However, with Devin on the court they were able to double him without having to worry about Devin asserting himself.

I feel like Allen has only had a handful of assists all season long. He really doesn't like to spread the ball around.

That last play was forced through Allen even though NW was basically double teaming him. Allen needs to know when to facilitate and not try to play iso.
