This is my opinion but Pearl has mentioned that we need a practice facility as we are currently sharing with volleball, gymnastics, and woman's basketball. Also probably signing with Nike and more NIL. Pearl loves Auburn but we need to support him so Auburn Basketball can take the next step and become even more elite.

With the road win at Georgia we are still in running for a shot at SEC title. We are one game out and three of next 4 we should win. We need our best game on the road against Tenn. That is a big order but if at beginning of year you had told us we would have a shot with 4 games to go I would have been very happy. I am proud of the way this team has battled all year.

Chaney played great in place of Jaylin. CBM was huge tonight. KD was the good KD, Broome another great second half and then Aden finally gave us what we expected at beginning of the year.

As mentioned above we have 4 players shooting around 37% from three. The issue is we are streaky. Shooting hurt us against KY but what hurt more was bad turnovers. The kind of turnovers that led to easy baskets. We clean that up and it is a close game. We also had players overly hyped trying to do to much. CBM was so up for the game he often played out of control same for Donaldson and others. We are not a great team but we are better then how we played against KY and we are not as good as we looked against SC.

I knew nothing about that. To steal a line from our youth. "That was Super Cool"

Great news wishing Caddy the best.

We are playing tight. KY has had some open 3's but luckily missed. Need to pick up the pressure like we are capable of doing.

I agree now he needs to add some post scoring other then dunking on a cut or rebound. He needs a drop step, or turn around jumper, or a hook shot that he can score with consistently. He also needs to cut down on needless fouls. The way he has improved so far gives me hope he will be better next year.

It doesn't matter if it was intentional. It wasn't as could be seen by Cardwell apologizing and helping player up. That said by rule it was a flagrant 1 foul. I had no pro lem with the call.

If those two and we get them that would be huge an Edge and a Safety. We also need some interior D-line.

12 point lead about 23 seconds left. The women did it.

We have an oscilating fan base. After a road win against Ole Miss then a dominant home win against bama. We had turned the corner and were really good. Now a Florida team that was well rested and having a whole week to plan for Auburn and Auburn didn't have the energy to compete so now we are a bad team. We are a very good team but not an elite team. This year that can be said about most of the top teams.

KD and Chaney are only two who seem to be able to score or rebound. Today others can't even hit FT's.

6 shots 4 are threes.

I agree Broome probably won't come back, but he has the option. I love Cardwell and if he got more minutes his numbers would improve but you are correct his O is limited we would need another center. He is also prone to foul trouble.

Sears is a great guard he showed me a lot in a losing cause. As Sir Charles said they had no bigs and got dominated in the paint. In the game at bama that we lost in a close game to many times players left their man to help out, against some teams that is great but against bama who lives and dies by the three it gave them to many good looks. You could see in the game at home that Pearl had emphazied stay home. If they dirve our bigs will eat them up. Sears was only player who could go inside and score as he uses his body so well to get the space he needs to get his shot off. He played basically the whole game and was still effective at the end. Think how good Sears would be if he had Broome and Williams to go to. His assist numbers would be astronimical but his scoring would go down some as he scores when bama needs him to. With his ability to drive and dish our 3 point shooters would also improve as they would have better looks. Trey to me is starting to play a lot like Sears. He is strong he is starting to get shots in the paint, he feeds the bigs he gets us going after rebounds. I saw a couple times he went in backed out when bigs came but there was no pass available then backed out and then came back in and shot a short jumper. He has also gotten quicker and is able to play against speedier guards.

He should love what he is seeing from Jaylin Williams. He can see how our O gets the PF the ball in scoring position.

Most good guards do. If he was playing for Auburn you would love his game. That said lets shut him down and blow bama off the floor.

Kd gets mugged no foul touch a bama player a foul.

Broome called time out and told teamates when they double me cut to the lane.

Need to come out strong at beginning of second half.

What a difference once Tre came in. Since he came in we are feeding the bigs inside.

Sounds like great choice and being younger should relate well with players. Hopefully he will be both a dynamic recruiter and strong teacher of the game. What is good is if he works out we can expect him to be at Auburn for a while.

Ole miss is a very solid team and to beat them on the road after getting hit on the mouth in the first half speaks well for this team. Sadly to many on this board will overreact based on a very good win. When we were on SEC win streak there were multiple posters who had us in the final 4 at the big dance. Then we lose two close road games and we suck. As Bruce has said many times we were not as good as some thought and while he didn't say it outrightafter the two losses we were not as bad as some thought. This is an evolving team with a lot of potential but so far without an Alpha dog. This was probably our best offense performance against a really good Ole Miss team. We killed them on the boards we shot great percentages both on two ball and 3 ball. In second half we only had three turnovers. The other side is Ole Miss also shot great both on 2 point shots and three point shots so our Defense was not as good as it usually is. Positives 6 players in double figures, 9 players scored only Cardwell didn't score but he had a defensive presence. Denver has had two good offensive games in a row, our bench was dominant again, We played great on the boards. I see the potential but I need to see consistency in last couple games Chaney Johnson has looked like he finally belongs in SEC. CBM had one of his best games helping on defense, scoring, rebounding, and effort plays that pick up a team. KD was the good KD which is who he has been almost every game this season. Jaylin another great game and Broome's numbers this year speak for themselves. One thing I don't understand about some of our fanbase is the way they talk about Jaylin Williams. He is having a great season, but when he has a bad game some of our fans come down on him like he is a bad player. All players have bad games. CBM against Miss State looked lost, yet hardly anybody mentioned it. Today he looked like one of the best players on the floor. For us to win since we don't have a true Alpha Dofg wehave to win as a team. Not having an Alpha Dog has also been a blessing as it is hard for other teams to scheme around shutting down the Alpha Dog. If we can consistently compete on the boards and continue having 3-5 players in double figure with others plays scoring some, playing tough D and keeping our team fresh for end of season we have a chance to be good. This has been one of the most entertaining teams we have had in lst few years. Now lets go beat bama.

He has done it multiple tines this game.
