I was thinking the same thing this whole game. Wish he would develop the confidence to shoot like he does. I got no doubt he can hook shot all day if he wanted to. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alot of the turnovers are not “forced” but rather just careless. Auburn plays so fast that sometimes it’s too fast. However if they perfect these bounce passes they like so much… look out!

AUBwins 10,119 Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Learned a lot about the team tonight. Florida was relentless in their attack, we had foul trouble all game, had to overcome surge after surge including the final minute and still came away with 12 point victory. Florida couldn’t hang with our starting 5 but we had to mix it up all night. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

around4ever 4,139 Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 We saw a couple of our weaknesses in this one, handling the relentless press every possession and (not just this game) careless passing. We will get those fixed. On to UAT. You can bet they will be primed after that somewhat embarrassing loss to Mizzou. We better bring our A game in all phases of the game to come out of Coleman with a W. Im surprised there were no comments in here about Jimmy Dykes stating that Jabari will be the #1 lottery pick in the draft. I wouldn’t be surprised about top 5 lottery pick, but #1? Thoughts?

MaxCohen216 514 Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 (edited) KD was great. Glad to see him re-emerge as a real threat to opposing defenses. Jaylin Williams was very impressive. He was a big force when he was on the floor. Kessler was outplayed soundly, by an opposing center who had struggled in previous games. Our bench was great again. We may be the deepest team in the country. Turnovers will kill us on the road if we can't get them under control. I love Wendell Green, but he needs to work on reducing his turnovers, as do all our point guards. Tuesday night against Bama will be very interesting.

It said he started strong, but faded against teams with strong post players, but has battled thru injury as well. But it's an opinion thing anyway, I guess. I thought Kessler would win that matchup.

Cas is currently ranked 7th in ppg, 4th in fg%, 2nd in rebounds and 2nd in blocks. Having 4 years in an SEC strength program has its benefits. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexava 6,974 Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 This team is so deep and talented! If we don’t improve I still think we are Final 4 material. I do think we are going to get a lot better. It’s fun to watch and getting better. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe he and Tshiebwe from UK will be the only two big men that will really give Kessler fits in SEC play this season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they’re slack at all there, we’ll put a hurting on them. I also think we have a significant advantage at the 4 and 5. I expect us to put the ball in the paint a lot, and get some midrange jumpers from Jabari. However, I am certain we will get their absolute best on Tuesday. Let’s go!

Probably referring to the FL loss to Texas Southern, and then the whole team struggled against bammer after the COVID time-out. FL has 5 losses so far. Delighted we handed them # 5.

I think he's at #2 now and a lot of people think he'll go #1 if he keeps playing like he has. He just has that killer, cold-blooded personality on the court. When you need a shot to kill the other teams momentum, Jabari is gonna hit it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kessler is great but just doesn’t have the muscle. Castleton was impressive. I do think Kessler will learn a ton from the film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not in favor of it in general, but there are a few centers that's going to get him in trouble the specific way he likes to contest shots and post defense just isn't Cardwell's thing for the most part Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
