I knew it. I've played on enough courts to tell those are some soft rims. lol. I know someone else would be able to tell.

you can see them on Tv give on the front end misses.  but both teams have to play on them.

HS gym I think and lucky the X guy did not pull one of them down earlier in the game.....different look and perspective than they are used to seeing.....but gotta start hitting those 3s …..even typical AU shooting and they have buried X by now.

True. Not complaining. Just knew i could tell they're soft rims. Just did a Twitter search "soft rims" and others are talking about it as well.

We call it soft rim the way it's really bouncy hitting off of the misses. But whatever it is we're figuring it out! I'm happy!

Is it really the rims/backboard structure or does altitude/atmospheric pressure affect the balls somehow?  

[tgrogan21 6,198]

Harper with the deep three! 48 to 39 Auburn

Zion is going to murder those rims. Hope they have backups. 

[Dual-Threat Rigby 8,669]

those are the type of rims you gotta have perfect arc on and just make em swish...no gimme 

[tgrogan21 6,198]

Chuma inside! 50 to 41 Auburn

Nah. It's soft rims. Mix in with the heat there then it's really soft. Like AU said..high school like gym. 

[AURealist 2,185]

Love how Pearl gets so engaged.

[WarEagle1983 2,185]

Let's open up this lead guys! 

[tgrogan21 6,198]

Wiley, Chuma, and Anfernee all with 3 fouls with 13 minutes left.

[GTNupe11 2,034]

Damn is it slippery on the floor? And that was NOT a foul, SMH.

[tgrogan21 6,198]

McCormick with the turnover with Wiley wide open yelling at him to pass it up.

[tgrogan21 6,198]

Wiley lays it in. 52 to 46 Auburn. 

[AU64 10,122]

the way AU playing the bad guys could run off a string and take the lead......someone needs to take care of the ball and that dribbling inside is not working. 

[auburnphan 6,050]

52-46  Auburn under 12 timeout

[tgrogan21 6,198]

And Chuma just picked up his 4th. 

[Dual-Threat Rigby 8,669]

its a damn shame the only reason this game is even close is due to Auburn not caring to run sets even half of their possessions, much less most of em

[WarEagle1983 2,185]

Fouls...fouls...fouls. Ugh

[autigeremt 6,619]

Come on Auburn. Get it together!

when people talk about "street ball" ...this is what they have in mind.    BP needs to settle them down and run his offense....

[auburnphan 6,050]

I think all 4 of Okeke's foul calls were soft

Its cool to do so when you have supremely talented ISO players, but like I said earlier, we lost one guy like that to transfer and another wont be here for another 4 or so games. theres no player on here I trust handle-wise to play iso ball

I was in Maui last year in October. Amazing place. I know it's a sweatbox in that gym though!
