Its an away conference game, we put up 52 in the 2nd half and won. Just because you don't easily win doesnt mean it's ugly. It's basketball, not a walk in the park. It's a battle. I saw nothing ugly about this win at all. Good assessment. I think the first half was kinda ugly on AU's part, but that was mostly due to MSU's energy and execution. They poured every ounce of what they had into that first half. Unfortunately for them and fortunately for Auburn, the game is 40 mins in length and the better team had outplayed the lesser team by game's end. But to number1's point...it was overall a beautiful win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aujeff11 6,243 Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 We are streaky with our shooting ( hence the back to back comeback wins.). Hasn’t bit us in the butt yet but the odds are that it’s coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But to your point, if we come out ice cold for a half against KY's length or certainly at FL later on, thst would not be a good formula for winning the game..

I'm hoping our depth will prevent that, but inevitably you're right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexava 6,973 Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 We won't win out but it think we win most of them. just something different about this team. A different Bruce too. even before the games started he seemed confident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigeraddikt 1,590 Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Anybody have any insight why Mclemore only got 12 mins yesterday? I missed the first half and didn't really see him at all in the 2nd half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it’s up to our coaching staff to make sure when we do, to stop the bleeding and to not let the losses be deflating. Have to stay pretty even keel no matter what.

They will have a star from time to time. Bryce was yesterday. Several are capable of a big game. But you are correct. No first round picks on this team right now.

mustache eagle 2,389 Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 great to see that type of vibe in the locker room. that team chemistry and brotherhood is one of the biggest factors with this team. all good teams need that type of leadership.

I missed the first half and didn't really see him at all in the 2nd half. I'm thinking it was bad matchups inside......the big MSU guys pushed him around and he could not push back enough to keep them away from the basket. JMO but things got better when we had more muscle going inside to push back. His forte' is blocking shots and he was having no luck against the big guys who just went over him. It won't be that way in every game....but IMO, it was a good move to let Murray fight with the big guys underneath and he succeeded in drawing a ton of fouls and Spencer had better luck standing his ground against the MSU bigs....
