Florida has opened this one up. 59-41 with 2:15 to play...great effort by the tigers playing on the road.

We really played quite well. Not having Gabriel on the floor after his first injury hurt us. When he was on the floor after that, it was obvious that he wasn't even close to 100%, but he came back out and played his butt off until he went down hard again and landed on his hip. Even with him out, we were playing well, but you can't win if you can't score and we went a good while with no points....again.

I just don't get how this team scraps until 8-10 min to go in the game and then they suddenly fold and fold hard. Injuries could explain this game but it's becoming a characteristic of this team to not close out close games. It's either a depth issue, a coaching issue or a heart issue. The first half was fun to listen to and playing at the O Dome isn't an easy task. I couldn't hear Rod at times because the crowd is so loud there.

Its a lack of quality depth. Auburn just isn't there, and lets face it Florida is just a better team than Auburn, its no surprise at the end of the game when depth shows its face Auburn folds a bit. Barbee will get it right, he's a good coach and his tactics are much better than Lebo's, he just has to overcome the mess that Lebo left. With a solid recruiting class next year Auburn should be a very fun place to watch some basketball in the next couple of seasons. All it takes is one legitimate stud to take a basketball team to a next level...(See Michael Beasely and Kansas State)

The team relies on each other to score and we don't have that special player who can get his own shot and take over a game, this is why we have scoring droughts and barbee is running a slow paced offense.

Five point game when KG went out. 21-10 UF after that. We have a hard enough time scoring (on the road) with KG, much less without him. Getting pounded on the boards (39-24), and KG/FS/VW going 7-26, didn't help, either. If you'd have told me beforehand our leading (and only double-digit) scorer would be ADRIAN FORBES (with a whopping 11 points), I'd have said we'd lose by 50.
Tough loss, but, like others have said, UF is just better than Auburn right now. Very good and experienced in the backcourt; very physical and athletic inside. They're going to be a tough team to beat going forward.
That said, I like that our team is (or seems to be) showing more grit on the road vs. the early season embarassments. If we can beat Arkansas and LSU at home, to finish (I think) 15-2 in Auburn, that would be something to build on.

If we can beat LSU and/or Arky to finish either 14 - 3 or 15 - 2 at home this season, that would be a good sign and a building block. However, we haven't really beaten a team at home that was all that good other than a slumping State team without one of their leading scorers. We had an impressive loss against UK and the Bama loss was ugly.
The real issue is that this team is 1-11 away from Auburm arena with the lone win coming at a neutral court. We have to learn to play better on the road if we want to make a push for postseason play next season.

I don't want to make any comparisons with some other team with a 3rd year coach, but there needs to be significant improvements next year. Even Lebo had games where the team played well....
I don't know; to me a good coach works with what he has and produces results...it doesn't take 3 or 4 years to field a consistently competitive team.

Sure it does. Especially when Barbee didn't have much to work with when he got here, then Earnest Ross transfers out of the program. Add to that the fact that 3 of this years freshmen class is out with injuries and will redshirt. I expect year 3 to be considerably better if those 3 freshmen are ready to play next year as well as the incoming recruiting class that we have. With those kind of circumstances it can absolutely take 3 or 4 years to build a program that is competitive and has solid depth.

Don't disagree. Just saying you have to learn to walk before you learn to fly. We looked terrible against uat, no doubt, but for the most part, we've shown we can hold our own at home. That's a step up from the past couple years. And the team has played better on the road (How do you think we'd have fared in Gainesville in early January?); now they have to learn to win, and winning on the road is tough, in any league.
