Randman5000 4,235 Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 (edited) We play like world beaters at home but just get dominated on the road. It's truly pathetic and Bruce needs to figure that out because as a coach you cannot let that happen consistently. This game 12% 3 pt and 15 turnovers. FT is terrible too. Had so many chances to get back in it and guards throw it away or foul them on the other end Edited February 10 by Randman5000 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCTiger2011 1,297 Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 SEC Road teams are 26-37 on the road in conference. Auburn is 3-3. I get it's frustrating to acknowledge it as anything but an excuse, especially when AU is getting boat-raced, but it is what it is. It's not like we're watching a highly-touted team fail to meet lofty offseason expectations. We appear to be what many thought we were, an upper middle place team in the conference. "Sky is falling" if you will, but just hope the guards get lukewarm in March, get a good matchup in the NCAA tourney as a 6-seed to make a Sweet-16 and keep momentum with the program. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dual-Threat Rigby 8,813 Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 Trends don't mean anything, but at least we have produced some great teams that have lost in Gainesville. I really wouldn't let this game be the end all be all for how someone evaluates the season. The Miss St loss would stick in my head more than this one tbh. I will mention, I'm also of the type of person that believes curses exist in college sports, unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishepa 1,911 Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 I think when it comes down to it, Auburn is just an average team. We had an easy front loaded schedule and we got most of our wins early. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it's the loss that have people pissed off, it's blowing out Alabama one game and not even show up on the road. I mean it's not even worth watching a team like that who is just an automatic L on the road. At least be competitive. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is our first thankfully Ole Miss is our Road Mecca. This isn't a compliment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dual-Threat Rigby 8,813 Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 Sounds bad, but a loss closer to 10 points than 20 would definitely at least help in cushioning the metric fall jere 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can we trace the curse at the O-Dome back to anything cool? Did Wes Byrum's Gator chomp anger the basketball gods lol? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NES 124 Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 I’m sorry to bring up BP and timeouts but down 20 with 2 minutes to go you call timeout. But don’t call timeout to settle the early. Baffling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well yeah, but if they came to that conclusion, they'd be ignoring Auburn in all the other ranked losses and only basing that on this one. They've literally been competitive in every single road loss except this one lol. I think all three came to one possession in under a minute. 2 minutes ago, Swamp Eagle said: Ole Miss is our Road Mecca. This isn't a compliment. A quad 1 win is a quad 1 win lol. I don't know what's the point of being blunt on the losses and attempting to qualify the win. We need to be better on the road, no one is ignoring that, but it's just an objective fact that we aren't the only highly ranked NET/metrics/AP/whatever team with a bad road loss. We have a better bad road loss in this game than those teams did, as well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AuburnNTexas 7,197 Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 We have an oscilating fan base. After a road win against Ole Miss then a dominant home win against bama. We had turned the corner and were really good. Now a Florida team that was well rested and having a whole week to plan for Auburn and Auburn didn't have the energy to compete so now we are a bad team. We are a very good team but not an elite team. This year that can be said about most of the top teams. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the same people are going to get ready to fly off the handle any time they see anything as small as a 5 point deficit in future games and lavish praise if they get any type of lead. We need to look to the future to the next coach when we lose to Bama-Miss St in one week, and should be ready to start booking trips for the SEC tourney when we beat Vandy and Alabama in the next.

They haven’t fallen off and been awful but they have just been mid most years since. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They got a week to prepare. A team fighting for their ncaa tourney lives and we were coming off our biggest and most emotional win of the season against a rival. It was a scheduled loss tbh. We may not win the sec but this wasn’t a surprising loss at all. Road games even against solid teams in college bball are hard to come by. We needed a “easy” opponent at home after bama. Alas we don’t live in a perfect world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
