Worked for me in the 2nd half of the SECCG.

Many years ago I about LMAO when I saw that Legend was really just a fat white guy. Calling into Finebaum’s show playing like he’s some street-grizzled, reformed gang-bangin’ black dude….smh

So basically the same stuff we said to the Bamms about Saban lol. Ark, do you remember having a preferred candidate in mind when AU was up for a basketball coaching change after letting Ellis and/or Lebo go? I distinctly remember wanting AU to throw the bank at Geno Auriemma when they hired Lebo.

I would suggest that Sankey will be on the phone about just this, but the SEC cashcow UK brand got protected and promoted, so I doubt he’s gonna sweat it too much.

Yikes, as much of a good draw we got in the SECT, this seeding more than makes up for those good vibes and rams it up our Tiger rectums.

Yep. Double OT in a hotel banquet room.

Guard play. Good heavens.

Not sure where you are looking? I’ve personally seen 3 of the games.

You are 100% correct. We are 2-2 against Iowa State all time. Barely beat them in 1986-87, got dismantled in the 2000 NCAAT 2nd round, got destroyed in Barbee’s final pathetic year, and then held on to beat them with the Okoro year in 2020 during the Big12/SEC challenge.

Please reference AU men’s 2000 NCAA tourney journey. You are confusing 1999 Ohio State with 2000 Iowa State. Handily lost to Marcus Fizer and Iowa State in the round of 32. Chris Porter self-reported late in the season that he took cash, and the NCAA declared him ineligible, so we didn’t have him in the tourney. Such was the end to his AU career, and the end to what was a promising 1999-2000 men’s campaign.

I agree 100%. The skeptic in me says it’s about a 15% chance our guards rise up and give the team in the postseason what it has needed all year long: scoring. But it is possible to catch fire if DJ keeps up his recent tear, and AH somehow wakes up with his stroke.

Yeah computer algorithms value playing well against top teams (even losing the games like Bama vs Purdue and Arizona ) over most of what AU has accomplished this year. We have been a Mark Sears away from being a 2-seed this year imo. Although not technically Q1 wins, I view the dismantling of Arky at Fayetteville, the Ole Miss Pavilion comeback, and the home MSU thrashing to be Quad-1-esque wins; they just didn’t fall on the right side of the cutoff line. Arky has come on strong as of late, and to make them quit on their home floor the first game of the conference slate was something else.

According to Game Tracker, it was very much in doubt. But you are probably a faith-filled fan unlike the skeptic in many of us! Halfway through the 2nd half, TAMU went ahead by 2, and got as close as down 2 with 4 minutes and some change left.

They definitely had it within a couple possessions with just a few minutes left. If it had been in College Station, probably would have been flying home with an L that night.

AKA Chris Porter’s coming out party.

Arky’s been on a scoring binge. I have a feeling that if they get through Vandy, they’ll take out USCe and us. Hope I’m wrong. I’d rather Vandy come through to Friday lol.

I didn’t notice her being purposely benched, but if true, I would speculate that either A. CJH was not convinced that HGS was giving max effort (unlikely) or B. CJH was saving HGS for LSU (likely).

In all honesty, if AU had lost to this short-handed Arky team, they would have had no business taking a spot in the tourney. Would’ve probably gotten in anyway, but this Arkansas team was playing a whole lot of B-teamers in A-teamer spots. That being said, Grayson-Scott had an off-night with her shot, so I am hopeful that her customary “I’m going off because me no likey Kim Mulkey” game will show up tomorrow.

AU wins 67-48. Kinda sleep-walked through that 4th quarter, hopefully to our benefit when we face LSU tomorrow. War Eagle, ladies. Did what they had to do to put away a lame-horse Arky squad.

AU up 61-43 halfway through the 4th. Anemic Arky team missing two of their top offensive players tonight. We are fortunate that they’re not full strength AND that they just have had no touch on layups. They’ve gotten to the basket and just bricked at least two dozen point blank shots. We owe Arky a pantyspank and here it is.

Auburn shooting well and playing well, leading 33-27 at the half. An unfortunate last 20 seconds of the 2nd quarter saw Sydney Shaw barely miss an open 3 that would have given AU a 12-pt lead, only to see Arky gather the rebound, dribble around aimlessly, and turn around and heave a super-long 3 at the buzzer to close the score gap from 9 to 6. They’re playing well; went on a very nice scoring run in the 2nd quarter. If we can defend the 3-line better, we should be in good shape. Arky can’t buy a shot down low.

TBH the UK game was just so anomalous. The one game they figure out how to give max effort on defense is at Auburn? I almost chalk that up to bad luck. But that MSU game…yeah….need that one back.

Son of a whistle! How has no one fouled out this game?!

I almost feel like needing to apologize to Missouri fans for saying this, but this Mizzou team reminds me of a Barbee AU team.

AH showing moxie this game.
