Men vs Tennessee Game Thread

[fishepa 1,902]

I stopped watching and we went on the 18-0 run. I’ll take credit.

I am wondering why DP is playing. If you look at the box score his line jumps out   0-5 from the field 0-4 from 3. 2 Turnovers 1 rebound, 2 assist, 3 steals.  He did make all 3 free throws but just not a line for a starter. Last year I was disappointed in his play but thought it was because he had not played for more than year. This year though....

Intended on posting that this looked like the first Auburn L Id get to witness but I decided against it

With games on national tv and someone making cracks at someone’s nationality, that’s just dumb. Has no place at any sporting event. It’s one thing to get in someone’s head, it’s another to do things along that nature. You can heckle guys in other ways without being personal

Gimme that starting line up of J'von, Doughty, Okoro, Williams, and Wiley. With Cambridge, Purifoy, Flan, and Mac coming off the bench. If Williams and Cambridge can play like they did today it's gonna be a fun end to the year. Sorry, JJ, you might have just lost all of your minutes. 8 games in a row that Johnson hasn't made a FG.

I think he'll be back by Kentucky. If we can just get through Ole Miss, things won't be too bad. I just like the idea of having 3 guys who can post up, and 2 who can drive the paint.

What a battle . Pretty crappy game until the run . Awesome job , but it’s hard to celebrate. Maybe we are asking too much of them 

[AuburnNTexas 7,140]

This is the game we needed. Multiple players helping us to win. 

Purifoy with the 3 FT's Mac with 7 point 5 boards and a lot of hustle Williams 8 points 2 boards 2 assists and a lot of hustle, Flanagan 5 points 1 board, Cambridge 9 points 6 boards, J'Von 8 Points 2 boards 4 assists, Wiley 9 points 7 boards 1 assist, Samir 22 points 4 boards 3 assists. In last 14 minutes everybody hustling double teaming on D stealing the ball causing turnovers.

Total team effort. This is how this team has to play to win whether we have Okoro or not. We play like this with Okoro healthy and we will be a hard team to beat. That said if we keep playing half the game or more with our heads in the sand we will get beat early in the NCCA tournament.

[thewhiz7 273]

I am having no trouble celebrating at all.

[NoALtiger 3,850]

Hell of a comeback and effort to finish this one up with a W. This team definitely has its issues but we are light years ahead of where were at in the not so distant past. Well done men and War Damn Bruce.

I’m glad coaches and players have the attitudes they have and not the attitudes many fans have. Down 17 I would have lost all my money if someone would have bet me. But that last 10-12 ( not sure when it started) minutes was very fun to see.

Was literally just about to come on here to post that. Glad that he was banned from the arena and that the other fans quickly told officials where he was. That is embarrassing and has no place anywhere.

If he’s not a senior I would let him reapply next year ( if he’s is a student). But I’m glad he was dealt with. It was an embarrassment. But it can be a learning opportunity. Any opportunity to teach someone not to be a ****head should be taken.

How would you like to be the guy that had actual money on TN? Feeling pretty good midway thru the second half with the line AU -6.5 and then Auburn wins by 7......ouch.

That Jaylin Williams PnR with Sharife next season is going to be like Jared + Horace/Mac on roids

I think that was a reaction to a bad shot rather than a planned self assist. But I still smile.
