bg5 536 Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 I am so impressed with this team. I had told my son's that I wasn't sure what would happen to this team after McLemore got hurt. I thought that they might become a 3 seed by the time the season was over but they proved me wrong. We started watching the game last night about 10 minutes in and I thought well this is great we have a 5 point lead I guess they are going to be able to hang in there as long as everyone else stays healthy. About 5 minutes later I realized that they were hanging with a very good Alabama team not only without McLemore but also without Heron and only had 7 scholarship players available. At that point I thought maybe we could stay with Bama the first half but surely we would run out of gas in the second half. So to win by 19 is so impressive. It has been so many years (if ever) since we have been able to have this much fun watching Auburn basketball. Coach Pearl is doing an outstanding job which is contagious and will spread to other parts of the athletic program. Bright day's ahead!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gravejd 3,270 Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 i've ran out of good things to say about these guys. I've never seen anything like this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boisnumber1 2,821 Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 These guys are talented, they play hard, and they love each other. No wonder they just keep going. I love to see Wiley on the bench just as pumped as everyone else. Its obvious the chemistry with the entire team is top notch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewhiz7 273 Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 When talent meets a blue collar effort=impressive wins That's where we are right now and it is so fun to watch. I have seen more AU basketball games this year than I have in all the other years combine. That is both embarrassing on my end but also a praise for how well this team is playing. War Eagle!

Thinking “ok we had a nice run but reality “ they keep clawing. Still think a 3 seed is possible more so than a one anyway. But at this point nothing would disappoint me. I think we’ll hang on for regular season championship though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
