Officials were horrible, but what else is new, and we still got to the line 43 times, maybe 44.....doesn't matter if you can't hit them,though. I am more concerned about the bonehead stuff and lack of effort on defense tonight. We can't shoot, so no need to bitch about that because its been like that all year. Our guards are the weak link and people are really going after them now Doughty was okay on defense, but Jvon not being good doesnt get talked about enough to me. The opposing 1 guard gets to run through him and Jamal Johnson all day. I don't know what more you can ask for. Sharife is obviously going to be a step up offensively, but he's not a good defender either. I hope BP starts finding 1s that have a semblance of physical advantage against their matchups Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno about you but I prefer a blowout loss instead of a gut wrenching heartbreaker. Blowouts are easy to get over and move on. The pain of getting your heart ripped out lingers.

tigerman1186 537 Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 Well get use to this...wait until next year...with 6 seniors and Okoro leaving, we'll be pushing up the bottom of the SEC....nothing against the guys on the team next year, but just the number of points that will return....maybe 5 points??? Unless we get a grad transfer or two, we're going to be very young and inexperience.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's obviously a smart person, but he has so many low IQ plays. Frustration fouls, jumping at pump fakes with guys helping him on defense, his verticality isn't great either. I'd still take him over a ton of small ball 5s but he could be WAY better on D if he just cleaned up the dumb plays. on offense I think we got what we got, for lack of better words lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

auburn4ever 1,266 Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 Wiley was the Auburn guy that played worth a darn. What's wrong with Bruce Pearl and this team??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalkingCarpet 1,379 Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 Well that stunk but this goes to show that you can't afford bad nights even against middling teams these days. The overall talent level in the SEC is just too good now. We're still 22-3 and one game out of the league lead in a year everyone had pegged as a rebuild due to Person BS and roster turnover. Everyone breathe, everything is fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoALtiger 3,862 Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 McLemore, Flanagan, Cambridge, and Johnson definitely did not rise to the occasion today. Next man up does not apply. Sorry performance from them all. Danjel didn’t help either but at least he has been sick and maybe gets a pass. Maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't say all that, Okoro and Wiley are really the only guys I think we cant replace at all when it comes to recruits/in house talent. Akingbola seems to have defensive chops akin to Mac, he's just raw. Cooper is equal to Jvon at worst IMO. Doughty has been THAT guy when he's hot but if you get a Jalen Green...I mean.... Now you dont want to be as dependent on getting some of these guys as we are, but we appear to be in about as good a place roster wise as we are now. Will the schedule and opposing teams be as favorable as they have been this season? That's the real question. Bc the SEC has for the most part not been great. but theres a ton of young stars and coaches that should take that huge year 2 leap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without Okoro's threat to drive, they'll risk a drive by. Wiley is the only real post threat. Doughty and McCormick can't drive by every trip down the floor. No one behind them can drive, at all. No one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dual-Threat Rigby 8,670 Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 I think experience helps but in CBB, theres been so many teams that have made crazy runs without it, that I feel its a good bit overrated. Its specifically helped us at points, but in general, you can win big without it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we got it back to 8 and Cambridge took that contested 3 I think that was the last time we got it to single digits This x100000. If we would have continued to drive the paint and get the ball to Wiley we probably would have fouled out Nikko way earlier and probably would have got Pinson his 5th. We stopped when we got close and started firing up 3's. This team has to know by now that they're not a good 3 point shooting team but are good in the paint. Wiley was an absolute beast all game and they ignored him when we were cutting into the lead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auburn4ever 1,266 Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 Who stepped on the lag of a Missouri player? I missed the play, but I a text saying an Auburn guy slammed his foot on a Missouri guy while he was down. If an Auburn guy really did that, then Pearl needs to bench his ass for the rest of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BHDAU1 240 Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 AU deserved to lose this one. Outside of Samir and Wiley everyone else played like crap. Purifoy, Mac, flanigan, and Cambridge were complete no-shows. That bs play that Cambridge pulled is embarrassing to go along with his terrible offense and defensive performance. Just a crap game all around with the usual horrific officiating. MAYBE they needed this one to refocus and realize that you have to close out bad teams and keep your foot on the gas and quit playing soft and hoping for a comeback Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're still harnessing and allowing these bad tendencies themselves. I think that's the negative part of this free lance offense they run so often. If your players aren't high IQ guys (and we only have a few of those on O), then v bad things can occur Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've been playing from behind so much, Flanagan, Cambridge, and JJ haven't gotten a tremendous amount of playing time. Circumstances have forced Bruce and the coaching staff to stick with the most reliable, for longer stretches. Can't say I blame them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
