Whatever opinion is held on the impact of luck in games, most Alabama basketball fans would agree the Tide has not had much of it lately. Having to play LSU with a hobbled Tua; a pass bouncing off the back of an Auburn defender and turning into a pick-six; having to play with only seven, healthy scholarship players in the loss to Arkansas – doubtless some of that misfortune can be attributed to bad luck.
The general belief about luck is that it evens out over time. There is no football or basketball demigod or demon determining the outcome of games.
