Dual-Threat Rigby 8,673 Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 I do think auburn is incredibly versatile though. Like they’re going to be able to be a bad match up for the majority of teams. If we can just figure out how to get the pick and rolls back effective, the sky is the ceiling really. If Oscar couldn’t go up with Walker, idk who can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why guard a shooter that isnt hitting when you can just collapse on the cutter? Wendell started playing it well close to the end of the Arkansas game when he started pulling up and dropping some floaters after the defenders dropped down. If we start hitting 3s closer to 42% it will allow Kessler to do whatever he wants. Edited February 15, 2022 by AUFightingSoldiers 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drsteve87 91 Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 I recall back in the day, we used to run a double screen at the top of the key. Chuck Person would come around the screen and hit a 3 every time. Even when the D knew what was coming, they couldn't stop him. They didn't call him the rifleman for nothing! I could see Jabari doing the same thing. His smooth release at the top of his jump is also great to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTFazz 386 Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 I just noticed that Auburn actually moved up on Jesse Newell's ballot after losing to Arky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the opposite team is hitting like 50% from 3, and all we can trade is our usual offensive inefficiency, we’re in a bad spot. The version of Auburn from the past two games, the one that’s been generating good looks from beginning to end, that’s a team that’s a true top 2 team in CBB. I hope we have THAT in March 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The numbers don’t paint that as bad a loss as I or others thought of it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't wait to see what happens next, but I can't wait. Totally agree with do assignment for me, I think the Tigers deserve more recognition. Tigers are on the Top YET!!!!
