I'm wondering if he already had an x-ray update at that point. It was heartbreaking watching him. He's genuine. Love that about him. Our team is blessed having him as a mentor and coach.

AuburnNTexas 7,133 Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 First before I talk about the game I am sending my prayers for Chuma. Now the game there are not enough superlatives, tough D the whole game, battling on the boards so many different people contributing, Chuma best player on the floor tonight, I remember when we all worried if Harper had to take a break what would we do. The Jvon at the beginning of the year and the Jvon now are two different players. Spencer just finds ways to help his team blocks, steals ugly shots that go in, Mclemore and Wiley both has positive impacts, Doughty and Dunbar, Purifoy getting hot hitting 4 threes and then the missing dynamic duo of Harper and Brown showing up when we needed them after Chuma goes down. What a coaching job by Bruce and his staff first in player development. The coaches have gotten every player better from beginning of year to end of year, they have taken a bunch of undersized but talented players who played hard but not as a team into a ten man unit that plays hard as a team from beginning to end. Almost every analyst said if Auburn tried to run with North Carolina we might hang with them for a while but we would fade in the end. It was North Carolina that faded as Bruce constantly rotated players and the every player who came in helped the team in one way or another. Total team effort. While I gave this team a chance of beating North Carolina I thought we would have to play our best game and North Carolina would have to under perform. I waas wrong in the first half we were ok but couldn't hit our threes but still had a two point lead that is when I realized how good we had become. War Eagle.

No doubt after this game he would of vaulted in to the top 20. Man I am going to tear up again. Just going to keep praying for a miracle for him.

tbone1430 1,346 Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 War Eagle! Elite 8 bound baby what a team performance!! Our boys were lights out tonight. Praying for Okeke but worried it’s either an MCL or ACL injury the way his knee was stressed. Highly doubt he comes back this tournament just pray no surgery is needed. Bruce is the best coach in America. I’m sure if any recruit saw that interview they wanna play for someone like that. 🦅🦅 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This team is awesome!!!! That is the best Auburn Basketball game I have ever watched. It almost equals the 1989 Iron Bowl and the 2010 BCS Championship games in football. How did Bruce get them to peak like this??? We were only OK late in the regular season. WOW!!!!!!!!!!!! We need to savor this. But I don't think we are done yet!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is why I'll never be upset about a player leaving early for the pros. You never know when some freak accident is going to occur. Get your money while you can because the NCAA definitely doesn't give a crap about your health. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auctoritas 2,828 Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 I just watched the Chuma injury, hadn't seen it yet. I have zero inside info, but that's an MCL tear. Maybe an ACL with it. That's a shame. But what we just saw tonight showed the kind of heart and threat that every man on that floor is. Chuma going down will hurt, but I have no doubt that having to overcome that adversity will light a fire in the team. I've never seen a NCAAM team that was less about 1 guy than this one. It's going to make it tougher, but if there's any team in the tourney that could take that blow and come back swinging, it's this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
