Jerome still double dribbled...

5 years to the day since McLemore broke his leg. Let’s stop playing in February 17…

That FIU court though... yikes.

Well gee -- imagine that. An "Auburn fan post" on an Auburn fan message board. Weird.

Anyone who likes to claim our guards are too small to compete should go watch what Markquis Nowell did against Michigan State last night. 5'8" and just scored 20 points with 19 assists and only 2 turnovers.

The offense was atrocious but did we make any defensive adjustments to stop Mark? He just straight up shot over anyone we put on him except for one possession where we had Flanagan on him. That blew my mind. They didn’t have another legit scoring threat out there for a solid 10-12 minute stretch.

Yet another game that we lost in the last 4 minutes of the first half.

Why take out Broome on that timeout? Don’t understand that one at all.

They simply did not officiate any of those plays well yesterday. The foul they called on KD when Vescovi hit the three was incredibly soft and that free throw was a massive point.

He looked great in Israel. I hate this injury for him and this team -- we'd be very different if he could log serious minutes.

Two straight games that we lost in the first half. College basketball is won and lost with guard play and ours just isn't good enough.

Yeah, I mean, offensively it's obviously not working... but I do believe that's the hope. He averaged 13 ppg two years ago and 12 last year. Seems like defenses have figured him out. I just don't think any coach in the country is putting him out there to play "hard" on defense knowing that he costs us a lot of points.

Disagree. KD is a liability on defense because of his constant efforts to make steals that just aren't going to happen resulting in us having to rotate to cover for him when he ends up out of position. Watch him closely and you'll see that more often than not he's asking for someone to take his man because he's lost position. He's out there because this offense desperately needs someone that can step up and make plays and I think Bruce is hoping and praying that he could be that guy.

Sure let's play 32 games and then change the lineup. Great plan...

Yes we missed a ton of 3s today but we didn't take a ton of "bad" 3s. Most of the 3 pointers we shot today were uncontested. That's tough on a coach because you don't want to tell your guys to stop shooting when they have wide open looks. One thing for folks to realize is that if we make our season average today we'd have won the game. I hate the loss -- but more because it was embarrassing than anything else. We should still get a #2 seed which may actually help us since we'll likely be closer to home. Here's to some time for guys to practice their strokes, Walker to rest his shoulder a bit more, and let's go get 'em in the Dance.
