Little under an hour before tip! Let's get this dub!

I won't be able to do play by play tonight, sadly.

[WillMunny 1,380]

Is this on TV?  I can't find it.

[Dual-Threat Rigby 8,677]

It can occasionally be hard to find the most takeaways in these lesser games, but I would really love to see a concerted effort to keep the "others" involved in the offense in the second half. I think we're definitely going to need to get something out of the CBMs, Chaneys, CMOs to prevent guys from just bringing constant help on our PGs and Broome, ala last season.

Rough start to shooting

[bigbird 60,571]

Need someone to drive to the hole and settle us down

Agreed. Need to work inside out. No reason why we shouldn't be scoring inside on this team. Especially since we aren't shooting well right now.

Glad you listened, Bruce

[Dual-Threat Rigby 8,677]

Just seems like a continuation of that second half tbh. Dudes seeking jump shots 

KD with a great drive 

[WinForAuburn 128]

Refs you suck!

My son just said the same thing

[fishepa 1,906]

1-9 from 3. Some things never change. 

[Dual-Threat Rigby 8,677]

It’d be nice if we had a consistent mindset to operate around the rim when the shots are off, but they are missing a few genuinely good looks. Nothing new, but it does suck

[bigbird 60,571]

We can't buy a shot

dont we have NIL?

We’re rebounding them to death. If we’d shot like this against Baylor, we’d lost by 25.

[bigbird 60,571]

Everytime he says "physicality" when talking about Chris...take one drink

[bigbird 60,571]

Beautiful ball movement 

[auburnatl1 4,980]

Halloway may be special as the season evolves

They kept saying “verticality” during the Baylor game. I didn’t even know that was a word. 

[Dual-Threat Rigby 8,677]

It’s going to be a sad day when KD leaves 

[Dunndone414 469]

Bruce has hamstrung us a bit with his lineups. 
 

Playing Aden with the 2nd unit seems smart - you give them an offensive creator - but it means fewer good looks for our other two best shooters, CBM and Denver. 
 

Our best lineup is Johni, Jaylin, CBM, Denver and Aden. The less they play together the worse this team will be. 

[Grumps 3,704]

I missed the first few minutes (that may be why our shooting was off). KD has been a beast in the first half. Broome getting things done (the shoulder brace scares me). Aden is going to be really special! CBM looks good. CMo seemed to be guarding their best player (who killed us). I think we win by 30.

[gravejd 3,270]

Hoping for a better second half. Really struggled shooting in the first. Gotta do better around the basket with our size advantage. D played well and not as many stupid fouls as the first game. Looks like we are trying to figure out what combo of players plays best together. Lot of subbing

Games like this are the time to experiment.
