Men vs Richmond Game Thread

[AU64 10,122]

no 3s  tonight....maybe one?

[Maverick.AU 13,279]

Doughty inside! 29-28 Richmond 

[jared52 4,354]

These refs aren’t good for either team. 

[Maverick.AU 13,279]

Doughty at the line. Makes both 32-31 AU

[tgrogan21 6,198]

I would drive every single possession. They're calling a foul almost every trip and at this point Richmond won't have any players left.

And nothing outside is falling. Hopefully they recognize this.

Not liking Purifoy's shot selection tonight in a few instances 

[Maverick.AU 13,279]

JJ to purifoy in transition! 34-31. AU but we allow an offensive rebound and a putback 34-33 AU

Nice moving screen to get them to the hole there though.

I'm gaining a very bad opinion of Richmond quickly. They are whining on just about every single call against them.

[jared52 4,354]

Wait, I thought you can only tap out on FTs. That’s crazy. 

[jared52 4,354]

I guess any shot constitutes a live ball?

[Maverick.AU 13,279]

And they hit a buzzer beater floater. 35-34 Richmond at half

[Tiger 8,823]

Alright we don't deserve to be winning going into the half anyway tbh. Their big center will be back in the game in the 2nd. This is going to be a battle tonight

[AU64 10,122]

Ugly half of basketball by AU....can't hit 3s and can't hit FT......just happy to be this close....

[jared52 4,354]

That was just terrible defense. 

[tgrogan21 6,198]

Fitting end to the half. Will be very nice to get Okoro back in the game after those early fouls.

Half ass effort from AU here . Not seeing the intensity so far from AU

Honestly Richmond was ugly early and we were ugly late.  Generally both teams have been ugly

[AURex 1,995]

Auburn not playing well offensively tonight, and trhe Spiders speed is a real challenge for our defense..

Unfortunately, Auburn foul shooting could very well cost us this game. Really embarrassing at the FT line.

 

[tigerbrotha12 2,362]

Someone explain the ruling close to the end at the half and why that's not a backcourt violation

School kids can shoot FTs....and our guys can barely hit half of them.   Really hard to understand....

[mustache eagle 2,402]

They’ve had 8 more shot attempts than us.  We’ve had 16 more ft attempts.

yall watch, the refs will even up the fouls in the second half.  If we don’t defend and shoot better they’ll run us out of the gym due to points at the line.  It’s coming.

[AuburnNTexas 7,143]

We have missed FT's, 3 pt shots and shots around the basket and are only down 1. We need to keep our guards and wings driving as they can't keep us out of the lane..  Wiley playing well  it hurt getting the double foul.  We are doing better at getting the ball into him but he has sealed people multiple times and we did not get him the ball. 

We need somebody to get hot and we need to make our FT's and we will be alright. Also I want us to come out of half playing tough D and make a 10-12 point run. 

They are almost as deep as we are so I don't think we will wear them out we just need to outplay them and beat them.

[tigerbrotha12 2,362]

Okoro needs to play per his usual in the second half
