PUB78 1,358 Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 Shaping up to be a very underachieving BB season. Hope our boys can turn it around and make some noise in the remainder of the season and the SEC tournament. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's damn sure no complacency on his roster, his coaching staff, or his fan base. He's upped the ante since he's been here and the AU Administration has no choice but to throw 100% support behind BP & his program. The record will be fine, we will make it to the NCAA tourney and the talent is still gelling at this point with individual players getting primed to show their stuff. THIS Auburn Basketball is so much better than anything I've witness in what seems like forever. cough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dual-Threat Rigby 8,662 Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 From what I've been told, UT was trash against UK and hasnt played anyone else other than them since the Zags. MAYBE if Wiley and the rest of the bigs could get up, we'd have a chance. I think ill go to that one since hopefully most of the students are gone and I can get a seat!

Just like when people actually had written Kentucky off at the beginning of the season. What one team may do against another team may or may not tell a bunch. It's all about match ups. But it's funny to wait forever for a team to lose then discredit all the wins after one loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarEagle2423 357 Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Planning on going to the MS State game next week to take my little brother and nephew to their first basketball and baseball games at AU. Standing room only on StubHub are $35 each. Should I buy those, or are there other better options? Also, looking for tickets for the baseball game against Cincinnati right after. Best way to buy those? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The SEC just doesnt impress me personally, but I know the metrics support the conference being worthwhile so I cant argue against that.

Itd be a bad look if they beat one elite team and lost to the only two elite teams from their conference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiger 8,818 Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Ole Miss isn't great but I dunno if they're trash. 8-5 in the league and 18-8 overall. They have a very good shot to make the tourney I'd say. I'd only call Vandy/UGA/and Mizzou trash this season in the conference. South Carolina is borderline and a puzzling case. But trash is what we were for 98% of the last 3 decades lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mississippi is a team you should beat but if for any reason you're not as good as you're supposed to be or you play stupid they make you pay They are a bad matchup for us because we play right into their hands. We are undersized in the backcourt and have a propensity to have 3-4 second long offensive possessions while they milk the clock for 30 seconds at a time with strong guard play, which means our guys are essentially defending for almost a full minute straight at times which can snowball into other things. But yeah we should be beating them regularly but I have a feeling Kermit is gonna be a thorn in Bruce's side for years to come. Kermit just knows how to play against Bruce's styIe. I just hope we don't see them too early in the SEC Tourney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerbrotha12 2,362 Posted February 20, 2019 Author Share Posted February 20, 2019 4 Q1 games left on the schedule. Feel ok about 2 of them, and I'm starting to see Tennessee is not absolutely unbeatable. Need to beat MSU and would be really nice to go get one on the road @ Bama. The UT and UK games will primarily be hoping for an upset. The way I see it, we really need to beat Arky, MSU, and UGA to be squarely into the field. After that, you pick up seeding with any other win you can pull out. If you lose to one of the three listed above, I think you're probably still in, but may need to win an SEC tourney game to feel certain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cole256 17,043 Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 I don't know but I feel like we can beat Kentucky. Really depend on Johnson getting hot for them......but that's how I feel. I don't feel good about msu though.....before the season started I said the teams with good lead guards worry me. I always used msu and LSU as the examples Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you don't have to argue a point about the SEC. You certainly can believe it if you want, I never argued that. As far as what we did discuss I was saying using the logic of just waiting for a team to lose you'll ALWAYS be able to come to a conclusion that a team isn't that good because you'll always win. Just sit back and wait eventually you'll win because the odds are certainly in your favor because a loss is always right around the corner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
