doverstutts 1,643 Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 anybody else getting nervous beside me?......i used to get keyed up for football like this ( pre-malzahn) but an apathetic type malaise has set in concerning that, but basketball is another thing all together....i woke up a little before 2 am friday morning and was not able to go back to sleep because i was replaying the NMSU game over in my head....after that game on thursday, i was actually shaking for a long time..... today is a BIG game!.....its big for the program, for BP and for us fans....if we can pull this off ona national stage, we become a legitimate basketball power....not like kentucky or duke or UNC, but a program that has to be placed into any national conversation....i have to say that watching BP build the program wa both fun and frustrating, but right now its not fun....i'm all about winning and i hate to lose,even at my age......losing so much in football has conditioned me to accept the fact that we are only going to be an "above average" program, but basketball has excited me in that it offers a good chance of being a championship program....its not based so much on physical ability as it is on being skilled in different areas.....a 5'10, 170 lb player is not going to run over a DT, but a 5'10 PG can sink a 22' jumpshot or steal an inbounds pass for a layup....i now embrace AU basketball so much that i didn't even realize that spring training had started Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

around4ever 4,139 Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 Wofford is giving Kentucky all they want. 21-15 with under 5:00 to go in the 1st half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can get away with things other teams can't. That is what scares me about playing Kansas, another of the blue bloods. Wofford has gone ice cold from the field. KY extending the lead.

AU64 10,122 Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 These teams depending on one key player just don't have enough firepower to beat the big guys.....depth and talent usually win out. Felt bad for Wofford's gunner....o for 12 from the field today.....just a couple of his shots going down would have made a big difference. Same thing with Murray State....Morant is great but can't do it alone and is pressing too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harper, Brown & Dunbar graduate, Wiley may or may not be back (with all his injuries), McLemore may leave if CBP will not let him play 3. And somebody might decide to pull a Mustapha and transfer due to brain fart. Whatever, there will be a lot of young and inexperienced players. CBP is a terrific motivator and a good coach, so as far as next year's NCAA prospects, I'd put Auburn in the "maybe hope so" category instead of the "questionable" category.

Danjel may be back along with samir, jvon and possibly okeke. Spencer, Brown and Dunbar are the grads. Not saying we should expect the tourney every year, but it might not be a stretch to say we should be making some noise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sorry but if we don't make the tourney next year I would be very, very disappointed. Our recruiting class is #11 in the country so the freshman that we have coming in should be upgrades talent wise. And if Wiley and Purifoy stay and the very outside chance that Okeke comes back ... yeah, we should make the tourney. Also, I haven't heard that McLemore was upset and wanting to leave ... is that something that's been discussed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
