So they aren't terrible but wouldn't say beating them means we are going to kill it this year Is Indiana that bad? I have no idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerbrotha12 2,362 Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 This is impressive. Defense has been very good so far excluding a few fouls. Scoring at will. 48-27 at the half, AU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea I would say unknown at this point in the season but they aren't a top 25 team or anything. But if they are top 30, 40, or 100 i don't know.

When Pearl was first hired i recall reading a story where one of his first Tenn teams lost an exhibition game to some small div 2 team. They took that loss and ended up reaching the tourny that year. I think Pearl likes to challenge his teams in exhibitions with teams that can scare his players into playing shape. Hopefully that happens with AU this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never took over a game. I get he was young but still. And Purifoy had like one good game then he just completely fell off. I'm talking 100% eye test. Not match ups and names. Auburn looks completely different I disagree with you on Wiley. He ran the floor pretty well for a big man also. accordng to others (primarily cole) purifoy was much much less effective at the 4 and needed to be at the 3, not to mention injuries. also don’t forget that Wiley was a high school senior last year playing against sec bigs with 1 practice before he played his first game. That is a massive disadvantage for him to begin his career. His summer play was very impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was the 2nd time they showed that graphic already. 2x in one game isn't necessary lol. Love how Mustapha is struggling but everyone else is picking it up!

Wiley was way more than a HS senior when he showed up at AU....had been playing with the US national team and had access to great coaching and competition against college level players. He might have been young but his body and his experience was much more than any HS grad we are likely to get anytime soon....JMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustache eagle 2,397 Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 I agree with you about his relative experience but he never played against an sec big man. mainly I was referring to age and sec experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
