There are times where I think we play with better flow without Wiley, but you can't deny that his size inside is a difference maker and wouldn't have affected the game plan.

AUTigersfan89 256 Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Tough loss. This next game will be big for the team to overcome this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cole256 17,065 Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 On the flip side look at this game did you hear them talking about they get everyone's best like we had to play outside ourselves to compete...or what if they were like Brown went 8-9 that's the only way we competed.....that's what you guys sound like when we win.....it's sort of disrespectful IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just look at it as his defense outweighs his offense. When you have it you take it for granted but we could've used his taking up space to let a Mac and Horace to get those offensive put backs today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gr82b4au 5,568 Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Most painful regular season basketball loss I can remember in my lifetime. Ball was in the hole and just did not fall. Brutal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither AMac nor Spencer has enough bulk to do that job.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCTiger2011 1,277 Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 This is still a good team. The Wiley loss is gonna hurt and eliminate any SEC championship possibility. But just a quick look at the remainder of the schedule, 10-8 is likely in conference. That and a good draw in the tournament to make the sweet 16 would be a good ceiling for this team. They’re not the “Final 4 contender” some hyped them up to be preseason, but cmon guys they’re a tournament team 100% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AuburnNTexas 7,145 Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Auburn has things to fix. Today they played a pretty good KY team without Wiley and to be honest without playing their best game and we had a chance at the end to tie or win. Bryce is Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde. he always plays hard but he doesn't know how to avoid his weaknesses. He sometimes will dribble into a turnover or run the clock down without getting into any offense. Then Bryce hits a key 3 when we need it. Harper does the same thing at times with dribbling without starting the offense this keeps the ball out of Chuma's hands and so he never gets into the flow. Spencer is all hustle but sometimes plays out of control hence the travel calls. Dunbar is consistently one of our better players and needs more PT. The one thing this team always does is play hard, now if they can combine that with making a few less mistakes and playing a little smarter with better ball movement they have a lot of potential. First though they have to do better in the SEC so that they can get to the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that was a bad move by coach but it does not matter. Also Samir should not have taken the last shot with time left on the clock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCTiger2011 1,277 Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Without Wiley; a split next week on the road at SCAR and MSU would be a positive outcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
