Goodness, we built a large lead on a great team and couldn't hold it, we had to fight back at the end, but I'll take it.

Auburn just didn't seem to have the "want to" today. Goodness, that was awful to watch, much like Kentucky most of the year. Cal does not have a rotation of players this year that are playing together hard-nose basketball, they seem to be playing "entitled" basketball.

Bruce Pearl is doing a phenomenal job again. He has to be the top candidate for coach of the year in the SEC.

Bama has built a huge lead on most everyone they have played this year. They can play with anyone in the country they just collapse mentally several times a game and it costs them the game or makes it close which then causes Alabama to rely on free throws to win which normally equals a loss.

Yesterday Geno Smith hit 4 of 4 crucial free throws and Herbert Jones hit 2 right handed with a minute to play
