Men vs Houston NCAA Tournament RD2 Game Thread

[Gowebb11 9,323]

2 of the best players in the country on the bench with fouls and we can’t take the least bit of advantage of it. 

[PUB78 1,358]

Broome has become a major liability in this game. Ten missed FTs. 
Looks like “hack a Shaq “

[jAUSon 2,836]

Rebuild time

When we play like the first half it is a mirage! 

[fishepa 1,904]

Well at least we didn’t play this poorly in the first half or we’d be down 30.

I told my wife earlier their best play is fouling Broome at this point.

10 point lead at half and the our guys absolutely s##t the bed. Well, barring a miracle this game, and the season, is over.

I'd almost rather that than get super invested (and fearful cause I knew what was coming) and then have to suffer this collapse

It’s the same way in football. Backup QB effect. It’s an Auburn thing lol

[GTNupe11 2,034]

How can he coach the best half of the season and also the worst?

[Dual-Threat Rigby 8,671]

Hopefully this fuels Broome to get that shot right over the offseason 

[au701948 998]

2 Field Goals in 2nd Half. We do not deserve to win and either the players lost confidence at Halftime or CBP changed their game plan. Sad!!

[GreenTiger 1,006]

If we can’t take back momentum with their freshman bench in then we don’t deserve to win. Embarrassing second half 

[NWALA Tiger 3,535]

How can DI program only have 2 FG with 4 minutes to go in a half. And they trump that by shooting less than 50% FT.. Sampson coached circles around BP this half

[Randman5000 4,228]

Our averages caught up with us. Terrible offensive performance

[tightendoverthemiddle 102]

Just walked in... see same ole Aubie, Can't shoot.. uh Free throws ARE COACHABLE!! No offensive rebounding. Stupid Fouls. Put the Walkon shooter in..

In a home game for all practical purposes, too.

Shame. They are just a superior athletic program. Anything we attempt to do, they end up doing better. 

[Maverick.AU 13,280]

Broome doesn't miss fts and this is still a game, damn, we blew this one big time. This is a very beatable 1 seed. Although 2 1 seeds have lost already 

[AUBwins 10,075]

Yep we had everything we could ask for.  I've never seen a game completely change because of a team in the lead just missing free throws.  Most absurd thing ever.  Straight up choke job.  Houston has 1 guy that stepped up offensively with that mid jumper and have gotten some blocks defensively. They really didn't do anything spectacularto beat us this way. 

[BigBlueWDE 1,136]

Well, I still love this team as much as I did when they blew a 17 point lead on the road in Tuscaloosa

As in like....our roster? Because, yes...

[Gowebb11 9,323]

AU should never play any Houston team in Birmingham ever again. 😅

How is that even a legitimate stat?
