Great win for the women.

Agree but Mason went out of his way that he wanted to address the players he was taking a break from college and would only accept a pro job. Then a few days later on to Okie St. Players are pissed rightly so

Sounds like the typical huge ego coach.

Yup they did. Very quick team. Sharp passing. Not an easy out atoll. We’ll need to rely on size to beat them. 

They looked good, not anything that jumped out at me as very good tho. I wonder if they flew back to Ok. I would think they just stayed and come to AU tmrw.

I just can't see Bruce having interest in UL, but stranger things have happened. UL thinks their pedigree means more than it does imo. We just need to pony up, and CBP needs to shut this down and move forward with the season. No need for another team's failure to be our distraction.

Lebo tried to be a good coach. Just couldn't quite pull it off. I think his main issue was just not being able to connect with and recruit the caliber player ya gotta have to win enough games to make the tourney. But in all fairness, Lebo's 2008-2009 Auburn squad got screwed out of a tourney bid when we had Vot Barber, Quantez Robertson, Tay Waller, Frankie Sullivan, et al. Didn't make the dance because of the name of the school on the jersey.

Yeah, the word when Lebo was at AU was that he couldn't connect with anyone - players or otherwise. He was inexperienced then tho.

As a student from the 80's when we had some success against UK in Auburn, not much,  it wasn't about beating UK this time.   It truly was about "who's next?"  Oh another ranked opponent who happened to be UK with an arrogant coach..   Beating UK on national TV and grabbing a huge lead in the charge for the conf championship, was the draw.    

It is no longer about upsetting the blue blood UK program, it's about beating them this time.   Very big difference.  

 

And yeah Calipari  is embarrassing - over stating how our fans reacted - our fans reacted the same as they do in Raleigh Durham and such.  He is trying to put Auburn fans back in a box.  It was the joy of our players that irritated him. It is the fun that Bruce is creating around the program that irritates him.   And he can't bring that level of joy and excitement to UK - and that just irritates him more.

Bottom line is CBP is doing a better job than him and he knows it. He cant stand that the sec is not him and KY and everyone else like it once was. Those days are gone. Blue blood in CBB is not what it used to be. NIL will only make it less of a thing.

Just an update, Central Michigan is 2-13, with wins over Eastern IL and Kent State. Lost to the Zags 107-54. And if you are curious, Jeff Lebo is back as an asst at UNC where his son is a walk-on. Lebo was a HC for 20 years, never took a team to the tourney.

And you know it eats him up that Auburn (Auburn!!) is the talk of CBB. 
 

He’s got to be the most overrated HC in American sports. 

The stuff Cal has been saying is gold. We are so in his head. He even claimed we stormed the court after the win when we didn't. Auburn has broken UK and Cal, and it's hilarious to watch their tears and meltdown.

I kinda had a bad feeling that we might be in for a letdown. Not sure if it was that, or the pressure of being #1 (and taking Mizzou's best shot), or being tired, or all of the above.

It was the perfect storm in a lot of ways. I knew it but was in denial lol

Welcome to being the top dog. You will get everybody's best shot. Lesson learned.

Except that wasn't Mizzou's best shot. It was pretty much our worst.

Just now, ShocksMyBrain said:

Is it so much getting their best or we gave them our worst?

Yeah really. Mizzou had very little to do with how that game went. We missed shots all game we normally make. Just had an awful game and survived. Props to Mizzou, but we were our own enemy tonight.

Well, I would just like to give a shout out and a thank you to Cuonzo Martin for just allowing us to essentially run out the clock at the end of the game. Thank you for that. Pure genius.

Defense!

KD!

I usually agree with Fishback, but him talking up Mizzou is ridiculous. If they were any kind of team, they would be up 20. We couldn't play worse if we tried.

Can tell we are tired. We haven't been getting any loose balls tonight. Just a step slow. 

Good grief. Mizzou is not even playing good and we still not getting it done. It's all on us.

Bs call

We can't get a lead because we can't make any freaking shots

Just now, yngwie1995 said:

Are we just tired or something? Kessler looks like he just rolled out of bed.

I just posted that. I think that's part of it. No one can make the shots we regularly make.

I think the team is a little tired from Saturday. Just a guess. Anyway, we just need to get it together for 7 mins and go home.

This is unreal. Nothing mizzou is doing
