The refs called Sonny and Bobby to the scorers table to get them to settle the players down. Sonny walked up smiling holding out his hand to Bobby. Bobby started screaming at Sonny. Sonny sort of cowered. We went from dominating to being dominated instantly. To the best of my memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not like being JSU’s favorite “big brother” target up the road this week. Don’t like the matchup unless CBP can use his history with their coach to have our guys really ready.

I do remember the ref's got intimidated but you're correct it help to change the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UAB has always been difficult to beat. Plus the 3-ball will keep any team in the game. Our short guards have difficulty effecting the 3-ball. Haven’t seen JSU play, but feel we will out-talent them. Doubt we cover just because we’re 1-5 ATS in our last six. The one we won? OT v MSU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarEagleHunter1221 1,690 Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 I can’t get comfortable about this team like I was. The shooting woes just make me too anxious. I also haven’t seen Bruce adjust to this very well either. Maybe I’m just scarred from football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NWALA Tiger 3,501 Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 Everyone remember, the name of the game is survive and advance. AU first tourney game during the final 4 run , we had to survive a last second shot attempt to win.... I will gladly take a 1 pt win today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmbseeker00 116 Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 (edited) I think this game will be close. Auburn clearly has more talent on the court, but i believe JAX St. will have a good game plan put in place. We will have to make at least 65% of our FTs to win this game, and that is not a given. I think it also depends on how many 3s Kessler and Cambridge try to jack up. If they miss more than 8 combined, I don't think we have a chance. Hopefully we decide to use timeouts in the 1st half, before things get out of control. And when we do call the timeout, actually make an adjustment to the gameplan, if required. Play smart basketball, make FTs and limit turnovers, and we will win even if we get beat on the boards.

AUDynasty 584 Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 Kentucky losing to St. Peter last night may be what we needed to come out today locked in and focused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMassie11 1,610 Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 Key to this game is to make Jax St force the ball inside. You have the best shot blocker in college and they have a smaller line up. Nothing easy behind the arc and lay off the dumb fouls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It takes real courage to make this admission. It is the first step on the road to healing. It's basketball. There won't be any whirlybirds, no dropped passes on critical third downs, no three man rush that gives the opposing team all day to find an open man and, allows a 3rd and 20 conversion. Be of light heart. It's basketball, our season of joy! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup and there is no way our 2019 team would have beaten this year’s New Mexico St team with the effort we had in the 2019 matchup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cole256 16,951 Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 Today our guards step it up a bit! Handle the ball well, make smart decisions, make plays to help your teammates score, and play great defense. Win your individual match up and play for each other. Use this game to set a tone for what you plan on accomplishing this tournament. I've been waiting all year for this. Didn't too much care about the regular season.......let's go!

This is not a trait of Bruce. He is a very “play-on” HC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
