I have to confess a dirty secret. I get a sick pleasure from venturing over to opponents message boards and reading their game threads after we beat them by 20+. I noticed a recurring theme while doing so this year. Non-Auburn fans HATE Dylan Cardwell. 
 

I would have expected to see a lot of hate for KD and CBM but a lot of opposing fans list DC as their most hated player in the league. I guess it’s all the flexing and other theatrics after making a play. I feel like if they knew what a good kid he actually is they would see him more the way we do, just a kid out there having a blast playing ball. Happy to have him back. 

My impression on Johnson's theatrics is it was all about him. My impression of Cardwell was like, hey everybody, join me in the celebrating the play I just made. 

Doesn't mean squat these days.

One of those two 3 pointers was a bank shot, so let's not get too carried away. 

But he called off the backboard before he shot it!

<shakes head>

Hard to judge how good the team is,  after playing at #8, #1 at home, and at #4. Just get back to .500 in the SEC.

The forgotten loss at Appalachian State is also a factor. 

But do you think an away loss is detrimental to Auburn's NCAA positioning?

Don’t see how Holloway fits in here

Well, it could be, since it is Freshman All SEC, his play during the season as a whole was better than other freshman point guards

Kentucky at 20? Silly computer

bamr finally visiting Auburn was big. For a state wide point of view

But IMO

1983 Auburn 13 Georgia 7 was more important as this win put Auburn on the national map, after being a non factor since 1974. Georgia had won the SEC in '80, '81, '82. With a 33 and 3 record over those 3 years. And was 9-0 entering this game against Auburn. The win ended Georgia's 24 game home winning streak

But for about 79 LOB in the second game, Auburn woulda broomed 'em. But that is the beauty of baseball

Yeah. Auburn played a good game. Would likely have won at home the way they played. Too much Knecht

The odds are so long of Auburn winning at Tennessee even with a healthy Williams, I certainly would not play a less than !00% Williams. Gotta stay focused on the big picture. Let him heal until the big tourney.

It’s a six point spread and UT is at home.  You obviously don’t understand odds.  

Sure I understand odds. It's not about Auburn covering the spread, but of winning the game.  Auburn is 4-4 on the road while Tennessee is like 14-1 at home. And Tennessee is better than Auburn. On the other hand I would fully expect Auburn to win If the game was in Auburn.

Go 3-1 over the last 4 and call it a day.

So, did Auburn win? I can't tell from the overall tone of the thread.

Those fast break, behind the back passes by CBM made me cringe.  He would have had a 1,000% better probability to score if he'd just go straight to the hoop.  Those were very bad decisions.

Ditto. He was trying to make the Sportscenter Top 10 instead of just getting 2 points. I’m ok with a circus pass when we’re up by 15+, but not trailing. Idiotic passes.

Nor do we need Johnson impersonating Jordan with the tomahawk slam launched from the free point line. Williams needs to tone that thinking down also.

Seeing him unable to put weight on it made me turn the game off. Hopefully he will be a bit more circumspect now with those windmill dunks.

Dang if Gonzalez could be Broome's brother.

And to compound the poor shooting is the poor decision making. AKA stupid ass plays

It’s not a mindset it’s a reality. Big difference. Several ranked teams have lost to Un ranked teams all season on the road. It happens every year in college basketball. This is not some Auburn only problem you are trying to make it out to be. It happens to blue bloods with decades of basketball excellence every season. It’s something our fans are eventually going to have to get used to. The melt downs after every road loss are so tiresome.

Yep.

Take North Carolina, for instance.

Expecting a loss at uf. Going on the road after such a big win will present a tough task

Auburn will beat both State and bamr far worse in Neville than the two beatings just taken.

One down. Bring on State.
