Man what a scare lol. I like what Okoro is doing, but we definitely have to clean some stuff up. Wde

[jared52 4,354]

Yes! Big to keep winning. Tough environment and they pulled it out. 

[AuburnTiger4Life 2,225]

Huge win!

[AubWes33 471]

This team needed a win like this. Should've closed it out sooner, but to get the experience of being down with seconds to go and getting a bucket to win it will pay off down the line. Just glad we got the W.

This game was like you say in the tourney “survive and advance” 

[AuburnNTexas 7,153]

We won this game but did not deserve to.  We need to thank Mr. Okoro. 

[Eagle Eye 7 2,535]

Just got the record they had 21 fouls called and we had 16 they hit 64% we hit57%

[WarEagle1983 2,185]

We escaped but it sucks that we can't put the ball in the hands of our experienced guards and have them close out games. They're a major liability shooting FTs. A couple of the young guns are going to have to get it done as the season goes on. A win is a win though. Could've been like Kentucky tonight.

[mustache eagle 2,406]

We hit 1 FT in the second half

Whew we avoided pulling a Kentucky.

[tgrogan21 6,198]

Okoro and Johnson came up BIG in this game. 15 points and 14 points respectively. Okoro with 6 assists, 6 rebounds, 2 steals, 2 blocks, and 15 points

 

Oh, also, Doughty quietly had a double-double with 10 points and 10 rebounds!😮

[Eagle Eye 7 2,535]

We barely out shot them from the floor   AU 44% 41%.  sA 44% 49%

[Tigerfinz 1,362]

Well, I'll take it all day! War Damn Eagle!  4-5 players in double figures, on the road against a solid team who has been salivating for this night after the beatdown they took  last year in Auburn.  Glad we won. Gives us some things to work on while not losing.  Gonna a be some games like this, especially early on.  We have a good team and I am looking forward to seeing these boys gel...War Eagle and good night y'all...

I never said it was all on him. I have been harping on FTs all game. I'm saying a Senior PG who hit 60% last year should be better. Period. But the entire team needs to be better as well. Not sure how you can't blame McCormick when he's 0-3 and struggled last year as well.

You literally said he will cost us the game because of his ft shooting. And yes you are correct i am harping on the ft shooting. He missed 3 of the 10 team misses. Would i rather him of played better? Yes. But others missed fts as well.

Except UK was picked to win by 25 and are the #1 team in the country. Oh and at Rupp.  Kinda different.  

[Eagle Eye 7 2,535]

This game s probably the worst I have seen a BP Auburn team play. It looked like the days under our last coach🙁

Okoro does not play like a freshman. Its incredible that he can come up big like he does. 

[Kaiiu 62]

I'm really worried about J'von, I don't think he's a starting PG but he's all we got. He's been awful.

Nah they lost to a high school team, South Alabama will probably win the Sun Belt 

[jAUSon 2,836]

I don't know enough about b-ball to add anything. But I do watch it when I can.

That last few minutes was intense.

War Eagle.

AU scores more points than USA. They deserve to win. Wasn’t pretty but this is still a team looking for chemistry. It was a full house and it was largely USA fans. I’m not gonna complain about that. AU played well minus a four minute stretch. Yes, some of the seniors weren’t good (J’von and Wiley particularly) but these wins will bond the team together. It’s going to get better.
