Men vs Miami Game Thread

[NoALtiger 3,849]

We’ve been like this for the last 10-12 games. Super average and inconsistent. Everybody had great excuses but it really was and is the reality. We peaked late January and been cruising ever since.

We’ve played soft the whole game and Miami took our man card. It’s embarrassing really. 

Our Big men , ain't big men. They are passive , finess players

Has Flannigan made a layup tonight? 

Not all year...

[LeonardAU 237]

Lack of lineup adjustments when this team has sucked coming out of half is 100% on Bruce.  Talent overcame a lot of coaching deficiencies. 
 

it’s uncanny how our teams across all sports go bad immediately after a coach gets a huge extension.

What a frustrating way to end the year.

Yep. Really not surprised the way we’ve played the past 6 weeks.

No one in sec plays this style. Got bushwhacked.

Same thing Kansas saw 3 years ago. Sometimes you run into a buzzsaw. Vanderbilt didn't have nearly the depth, but this is a stretched out version of the first few minutes of that game

He's only been cold for about 5 months now. "He will come around."

Still working himself into playing shape.  

[WarDamnDoc 385]

Painful end for this team.  Teams figured out how to defend us and things really fell apart down the stretch.  Oh well - we had a really fun regular season.  Thanks for the memories Jabari!

It's the 2 quick fouls early in the game. It takes him out of his game. Everybody knows that by now and they plan on it.

I would go right at him . Miami did early .

Going home early as we have been a hit or miss team all year. WDE

True.

He does that s*** every time. And he got out coached all season long honestly. 

Bro you don't go 27-5 and win a regular season conference title getting out coached all season. This whole Bruce sucks mentality when we have bad games gets a little old. Does he have plenty of things he can improve and get better at? Yes, but was he outcoached all season? No. This team was predicted to not be very good and basically be middle of the pack in the conference, we wind a regular season championship and we're a 2 seed

[woodford 3,655]

I hate being right when it comes to Auburn sports. Those road losses were the clear signs that this team does not have what it takes.

Not surprised at all. Sucks to watch it actually happen though. 

[AuburnEagle79 2,163]

I know there's a thread on this, but as a conference, I think we got exposed this spring. 

Talent is there, but my goodness something is missing.

Man. Well good season. We need that alpha guard though

Should be our top priority. It wins in March. See teams like St. Peters and Iowa State who nobody picked. Miami has 3 good guards. I think their lack of size will catch up to them if they get past Iowa State but you have a grate chance to win it all when you have good guards. 

[AUTigergrad08 617]

This is the worst basketball I’ve seen in a very long time.  Can’t even understand how this team can rationalize going out like this.  At least go out giving heart and hustle both of which are absent tonight.

[Cardin Drake 1,807]

I can't be mad at the team. They are more disappointed than anyone.  Our bigs should have had a field day, but they were cold as ice. Probably feeling the pressure.  This wasn't an impossible matchup. You have to be hot, and we were cold. Just surprised at who. Odd time for Jabari to have a bad game for sure after being so reliable all year.

This team has been trash since the Arkansas game. Bruce Pearl is a mediocre coach who can recruit. 

Yeah. Let’s fire him. That’ll showem  all!

[fishepa 1,899]

Would have been nice to see Jabari go out with a good game as opposed to this crap show. 

[NoALtiger 3,849]

Whole SEC was a little overrated obviously. It’s not an accident only one is left. 

[Auburn1992 3]

All Americans mailed it in; so pathetic

[weagl1 1,781]

Not surprising at all given how they ended the season.  A month ago they were playing great but something went bad and they never got it back.

People really acting like UK fans right now is more embarrassing than losing tonight. Especially those checking in for the first time all season.

I am a big Bruce Pearl fan. Saved our program. However, he did an abysmal job of developing an offense this seaso . Relied on talent. This loss is solely on him.
