Makes sense. We need to upgrade at guard and Aden was getting more time as the starter. I hate to see him go, but wish Tre well.

Not sure I understand the sentiment that we should show Aden the door as some have suggested. Is he not allowed time to improve? He was a 4 (and maybe 5 in some rankings) recruit. When you land a guy like that and he doesn't dominate as a freshman, we must move on? Is that where we are? Seems crazy to me 🤷‍♂️

It’s been reported on here that Aden did not and has not met with the coaching staff after the season ended. I have no idea if it’s true or not but IF so, there’s more to that than allowing him time to mature or not. This is an odd one for sure.

It looks like we will lose all three-Tre, KD, and Aden. Good grief! I can see one coming back because they will be starting since everyone else is gone. 

I don’t imagine any of them would have started and still won’t. Portal time.  

Just doesn’t look like UT gonna be able to pull it off at this point. Good game though, they represented themselves well.

Purdue punched right back after going down 11...and I also would like to see the alternating possession rule go bye-bye.

Two good teams going at it. How it’s supposed to be. Love it. 

Knecht is a beast. We got to get a shooter like that. 

UT has come to play. Good game so far.

YES

If we hadn’t been booted out in the first rd by a 13 seed maybe there could be a valid point. Can’t crap the bed right from the get go and then complain about someone else’s draw. I mean you can, bet seems embarrassing to me and very short sighted. 

Let’s just go back to bragging about our SEC tournament title and how much more important that is than the NCAA’s 😂

Can he play point guard?

Another twist is this:

What if Bruce leaves for another team in a couple years, and there are no proven head coaches available to replace him at AU?  Would AU offer Steven the head job under those circumstances?  And if so, would Steven even consider coaching at AU while his dad coaches elsewhere?

Just wondering...

I’d imagine he would take it in a heart beat. No brainer to me. 

Loved his hustle, could live without some of the other stuff. I wish him nothing but the best but I’m thankful another spot has opened up. Hopefully Bruce will bring in someone that can help shore up our deficiencies.

I was trying to talk myself into it..... Guard play man. If we could have just had mediocre guard play we could have really done something........

It’s amazing to me this has to be said literally after every season since the Final Four run. We simply seem to refuse to bring in what’s needed at the position. Extremely frustrating.

Waking up the day after 

 

feel even worse. Inexcusable loss & humiliating to fking YALE

Got outscored 20-8 to close out the game. We totally wilted come crunch time to frickin Yale. Not that I wanna make my myself feel any worse than I already do lol. 

We got 5 points combined out of our PG’s. Oh and they were all from the same guy. 😂 Zero from our 5*. Way to go fellas.

The kid was already a build project physically.  Now he’s a total rebuild mentally.  

I know he’s young but he seems so mentally weak. He’s clearly had a big time problem with adjusting to college ball.

CBM isn’t a NBA prospect and loves Auburn. I’d be shocked if he didn’t take advantage of being the presumed #1 option next year. You definitely need a true facilitator though. Even if it results in Aden, Tre or KD leaving. 

KD is a Senior, does he have a covid option?

Agree, hope so but he may want a clean start .

He’s had a bunch in his college career already apparently.

It wasn’t me and I never saw that comment. But I’d agree with them. The NCAA tourney is such a crapshoot. The top teams don’t get any advantage aside from playing a team that is expected to be worse. Winning the SEC championship is a better evaluation of the team’s quality than winning the NCAA tourney. 

Nope

Had a chance to get the lead and he wasted it it with his reckless dribbling and breakneck pace. 

His 3 point shooting was gone down the stretch of this season and he still chucked them up

I for one am glad to see him gone. Appreciate his efforts but I think over the course of the past few years the bad clearly outweighs the good. He’s cost us more than once at critical times.

He wasn’t today. The Yale player hit him in the throat. I would’ve been angry too.

I’ve seen this said but I personally didn’t see it happen live. Can’t wait to see what everyone is referring to.

In hindsight I guess we were just a mediocre team beating other mediocre SEC teams all year. 

It’s very hard to wrap the brain around what’s happened for sure. 

We looked like we just showed up and expected to win. Guess the charter flight back won’t be as fun as going out. Bruce pilots another early NCAA exit once again. 

Terrible. Great choke job guys. 

Tre promptly chokes 

Lol we gonna get beat in the 1st rd by Yale. Epically bad loss.
