3rdgeneration 6,469 Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 So incredibly proud of these guys! They played with a LOT of heart today. I saw NO plays that anyone took off. So much energy today. WDE!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuburnEagle79 2,169 Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 Huge win. We need to show up for the SEC. We can really move up with this momentum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s good to at least be relevant in this sport. With that being said, I can’t sit and watch a whole game of these guys play lol. It’s way too infuriating for me. Seriously. You think five years ago, students would've put off spring break to go to an Auburn basketball game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dual-Threat Rigby 8,676 Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 This is partially what we get for losing to terribad USC back when not getting the double bye will hurt but these guys might be better off playing as soon as possible.

AUBwins 10,075 Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 That block by UT straight to Samir, and made 3 was just lethal! We are peaking at the right time of year. The ball movement was incredible early on. I only saw the beginning and the last 5 mins if game time but was so proud if the way they played together in that time. I am looking forward to highlights. Horace Spencer has to be the most underrated player, but I appreciate everything he has done for Auburn in his time here. He was a solid piece in Auburn's turnaround with Bruce. Great win, keep working! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ellitor 33,107 Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 I didn't post this this morning but I had a strong feeling Auburn was not going to lose today on the SR day of Coach Pearl's 1st full class at AU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grumps 3,704 Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 Great win! Great crowd! Great coach! It has seemed to me that we have lacked a mental toughness all season. Today we looked overmatched but still came away with a huge win. I sure hope this continues. War Eagle!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great win, keep working! Horace had one of the best defensive games anyone has had this season. A bit spoiled by some of those overeager and ones but all the same. He just made the difference and kept Grant in check better than anyone else could’ve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClaytonAU 4,606 Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 There’s so much to highlight in today’s win but one that stuck out to me was Horace’s defense. He played, IMO, the best defensive game of his career. The double block was something I’m still smiling at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or did we do that today? @djg0017 Today likely locked at minimum the 6 seed in the NCAA Tourney. We'll need to beat LSU to get into heavy 5 seed discussion so 2-3 wins depending on where we are seeded for the SEC Tourney after the Cocky game today. If Cocky holds on over UGA it will take 3 in the SEC Tourney to get in the discussion because beating Cocky in our 2nd round SEC tourney game does nothing for our resume..

Dual-Threat Rigby 8,676 Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 Shoutouts to JVon too, I was thinking we’d need a back up PG to at least be able to get buckets if we were gonna make a tourney run and this is probably the first time he was allowed to just mess up. I think throwing him to the fire was the right thing to do; paid dividends Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cole256 17,084 Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 Chumma had 14 attempts most on the team. His defense was great. They all played great help side D. When they tried to focus on him it opened other guys up. This is exactly what I was talking about as far as running the offense through him. He shouldn't ever have less than 10 attempts in any game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s hard not to appreciate everybody on an individual level in a game like this. You need team play of course, but guys also had to play above their head for us to win realistically. UT looked like a nba team with their in and out game in the first half. And we kept pace, probably should’ve been within 2-4 pts if it wasn’t for that awful call. Second half, the shots started falling but guys also started forcing the issue and drawing calls. BP said before the game that it was going to have to be like that and they executed. If Horace can continue playing something like the role Mac had last season, I don’t see anyone who can demonstratively beat us up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
