tgrogan21 6,198 Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 I really don’t get Kenpom and not sure why everyone goes by that. We beat NC State and drop to 18. Kentucky loses to Utah State and is Still ahead of us despite having a SOS in the 300’s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dyehardfanAU 2,117 Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 This is huge for recruiting the late period. Bruce has shown he has built a program and not a one year blip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravejd 3,270 Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 Not bad....i was hoping for a couple spots higher but hard to really complain when you look at who the teams ahead of us have beat and lost to. I kind of have issue with Oregon and Kansas being ahead of us with 2 loses. But the worse loss of the 4 is Oregon to UNC so i see where the voters are coming from. If we had a win against a top 30 team we would likely be ahead of them. Right now we have a handful of wins against top 40-100 teams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of quality teams though ones we were more talented than. It's allowed us to figure the team out while still having a good SOR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toddc 13,194 Posted December 23, 2019 Author Share Posted December 23, 2019 Our real test coming when we play at Mississippi in our first real away game. Win these next two and be 13-0 would be amazingly awesome 😎 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gr82b4au 5,568 Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 What is amazing is that I feel we really are not that good yet. We can’t shoot from the outside, our FTs are a mess, and we are sloppy with the ball. However our defense is amazing and offensive rebounding is super impressive. If we can somehow start making our FTs and Purifoy or Johnson can hit from the outside, we will be unstoppable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyAU 3,630 Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 Wow. For this snapshot in time, Auburn's big 3 sports are all in top 10 nationally. Let that sink in for a moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're going to have to get much better to continuing winning in the SEC schedule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caleb1633 1,418 Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 We're doing well right now, but this team has the potential to do a lot better. I'm hoping they catch fire again at thy same time as last year's team. I'm still angry about that double dribble no-call and I always will be. We'd have won the championship if not for the horrific officiating those two plays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okoro got off early vs USA (I think im thinking about the right game) and that helped in the end when we were hemorrhaging points and hanging on to a lead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mustache eagle 2,397 Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Auburn is the only sec team in the NET top 25. That’s crazy.we have a “nice” resume. Wish we could claim a top 25 win on the resume. Will be interesting to see how the sec moves in the rankings as we go through conf play. The inter conf weekend may be important this year. We just gotta win. I still predict we’ll be middle seed at years end and around 22 rank. No basis for that other than guessing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tgrogan21 6,198 Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Playing us is so good that even when you're at home and lose by 12 you still go up 1 in the NET. You're welcome, Miss State! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
