Any news on Okoro? I hope he’s ok and he just tweaked his hammy a little bit he looked pretty tender walking off the court...

I can't even. This team is going to kill me. If I die from basketball, will you all come to my funeral?

Right there with you.

One crazy stat about this game was that Bama never led at any point in the entire game.

[doverstutts 1,643]

updykes shot 59 3's and hit 22. I have never seen a team shot that many

[Britt in GA 53]

I'd feel a whole lot better if we were to start making more free throws. We're going to need them soon either in the SEC tournament or the Dance.

Not the beatdown I hoped for, but at least we never trailed.

I know a Pearl team loves to shoot the three but how many games of shooting under 25% before we stop taking 30 of them a game? We shot 55% from 2. If we let that be our identity we wouldn't have this many issues. I really hope Okoro is okay because I don't think we can win another game without him.

[doverstutts 1,643]

we just won game 22, thats what I predicted for the regular season. This team has some serious guts and a will to win, but the basketball IQ is driving me nuts

Me too. Iron Bowl was not that stressful. Kept looking away from the TV. So glad they won.

You can do that til the opponent packs in a zone and dares you to shoot the 3. You have to have a couple of zone busters then.

I’ll have you guys know, I’m batting 1.000 when attending a concert while Auburn plays a sport. You’re welcome.

Happy AU won the game but that was some terrible basketball in the second half. For the life of me I dont understand why we stayed in a zone defense when they literally were getting wide open shot after wide open shot.  When we were in man defense the open 3s were cut in half or more. Bruce has forgotten more than I will ever know about coaching but can someone here explain the rationale behind staying in zone when they were shooting us out of it over and over? Finally I would have rather had them lose the game than have Okoro injured. I am hoping and praying it's just a pull or something and not a major injury.

The only question is how many of us will be alive to attend? 😂

That was the most gutty. Gut check resilient win yet. Bama had all the momentum and we just came out hooooot in OT. We really survived a team making 22 threes. UN real. This team def has a lot of heart, will and desire. I totally thought we would lose when we went in to OT. War Eagle fam.

I just can't get too excited about this win until I know how okoro is. But man it didn't look good at all. I really hope he's ok. I don't want that to be the last time we see him in a Auburn Jersey. He was dominant tonight!

Glad to hear it wasn't a tear. Hopefully he can rest it up and get healed up before the Kentucky game.

Cambridge made some major plays tonight, had a couple of boneheads to, but he stepped up again

That is great news. Isaac needs all the time and rest he can get. This is an opportunity for Auburn to get other players step up. Cambridge, Flanigan, and Johnson--your time has come.
