AURex 2,000 Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 None of us are happy after the Bama loss. But it does no good to stew in disappointment. Auburn still does not have a Quad 1 win and it is going to become more concerning going forward. I love this team. The depth, the camaraderie, the commitment to TEAM play. I am really happy at how well the team has taken care of business (in emphatic fashion) against mediocre teams. But now we are in crunch time. No reason to panic after the Bama loss, but Auburn desperately needs to have some Quad 1 wins. Finding Quad 1 wins will be tough going. Tennessee, Kentucky, a second matchup against Bama. I'm not enjoying the thought of a repeat of our earlier season, looking good for much of the season, then encountering defeat after defeat. This is not what anyone wants to happen again. Step One! Let's get Miss State! Let's get some Quad 1 wins! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KillenTime 127 Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Miss St is 42 in the Net rankings right now. So if we can win Saturday that is a Quad 1 win. We have to take care of the ball early in the game and we have to show we can shoot better on the road. I think Miss St. is affiliated with Adidas - correct? What kind of ball do they play with? Pound it inside and get their big man in foul trouble. That is what I would do with Broome and Williams. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arktiger1975 518 Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 How healthy is Tolu Smith now? I went to the game in Starkville two years ago. And even though we pulled it out in OT, he gave us fits. Thought he outplayed Walker that game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUGoo 2,664 Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 If we come out tight like we did at bama, we'll struggle again. Thought we had plenty of open looks, just could not hit a shot. JWill had 0 points first half. Gonna have to prove we can play on the road to expect any future tournament progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillMunny 1,378 Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 If we lose this one, after being (erroneously) ranked at #8, and after losing in Tuscaloosa the way we did (same as Baylor), Pearl will have a lot of 'splaining to do. This is an important game. Win, and Tuscaloosa was just a blip on the radar screen. Lose, and it's a pattern. Plain and simple. This game will tell us a lot.

AURex 2,000 Posted January 28 Author Share Posted January 28 It told us something. I'm not sure if it was a lot. But the something it did tell us was not real positive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
