well i bet the team improves during the year. i have faith in bruce to have us playing better..............but i doubt we final four bound but maybe...........

[AUTigersfan89 256]

They've gotten a few baskets with that low pass inside...about time we were looking for it.

I figured this would be a down year but in Auburn fashion, they somehow got my hopes up. I think Auburn could figure some things out if they continue pressing buttons but the in conference gauntlet is hitting them hard. They just dont have enough time to re-shape what they're doing, and with one of their two playmakers being hurt/out of it mentally, they really can't do anything. 

They're going to be what I figured they would be.  It's disappointing though for our guard play to not even be "a couple steps back from last season" but to be a legitimate liability.

This is a testament to how good a coach Bruce is. The talent level on this team had no business starting 15-0. We have massively over achieved.

[AUrx14 5]

Safe to say we’re not 4th best team in country. 

[Maverick.AU 13,279]

Doughty 3. 49-40 UF

[AUTigersfan89 256]

Samir finally hit one...not that it was a good shot or anything.

This team isn't playing with heart right now. Bama loss broke their spirit. Looking lost on D and sloppy on O. 

Well we better get more mentally tough real fast or it’s gonna get much worse. No time for whining or feeling sorry for yourself in this league as you know. 

[tgrogan21 6,198]

Okay, Doughty! Lets see if he can shoot his way out of the slump. We need someone to take over.

Lol Doughty another 3! 49-43 UF!

[tgrogan21 6,198]

Doughty should have just stayed shooting 3's. Can't make an easy layup. SMH

[Maverick.AU 13,279]

You can’t tell me there wasn’t a foul underneath lol

[around4ever 4,139]

 Two more misses from 2 feet. 

[AUTigersfan89 256]

Gosh, they have mastered that short pass inside.

[AUGoo 2,659]

How many missed layups is that?

Wiley was hammered and pushed. But those aren’t fouls against us. 

[AUTigersfan89 256]

I really wish Austin would play more angry inside.

[GwillMac6 20,666]

Never seen a team shoot worse at the rim than us two games in a row. You can tell when it's not meant to be when anytime we have a missed opportunity they go down and score. 4 point swing there.

I think he tried 2-3 different guys. 

That may be the case. However, Bruce has said multiple times that he didnt bring in one,  because he felt Javon had earned the right to run the team.  That is a noble and respectable decision, but can be detrimental to the success  of the team.  Perhaps he was trying to publically show his support for and belief in Javon. Even if it is just for show.

Gotta be 15 or more

[aubiefifty 16,754]

how in the world do we miss so many  layups? after last year i have been taking those for granted. and dismal  free throw shooting.

[tgrogan21 6,198]

Broken record. Another missed bucket within 2 feet.

[AUTigersfan89 256]

If we keep playing a bunch of ME basketball on offense, then we're in for a lot of trouble.

Lol that's Bruce always the great salesmen using that as a way to speak to future recruits about loyalty. Rajyon Tucker would have made us a much better team.
