Between him, the inconsistent refs, frustration on AU part, and silly turn overs that game slipped away. Guard play makes me 😭. Over and over we are getting stuffed out on the top , wasted possessions. No ability to drive, finish or dish off, and no confidence to be a KNECHT and hit the 3 anymore. A certain guard can’t even pass the ball now because ( he is a head case) Trey!! It was a very winnable game. I felt it was the best chance to get over the hump, to win that big game on the road, wipe all doubts away in your mind YOU CAN! But still they have yet to win a quad 1 big game. Makes you wander how deeo they can go in the tournament If our guard play does not improve, whoever it may be, I believe we could be out or tourny very quickly.

There’s not alot of objectivity about Alabama on this board tbh lol Yes we all know and are well aware of your love affair with Oates and airplane hangar basketball at this point… dude they are 99th in defense in Ken Pom this season and we’re 92 two years ago in it. Last year and herb jones senior year that Oates INHERITED him were the exception not the rule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were 3rd in D for KenPom in 2021 and were 3rd in 2023. I have no clue why you are attempting to ignore those years to push the agenda, I can find the stats 😂. They’ve basically had an elite defense every other year and have had a great offense virtually every season under Oats, there’s not really another way around it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustache eagle 2,406 Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 I can be objective about other teams - at least as far as my limited bball IQ will allow. id prefer to objectively talk about just the bad things about those bastards and leave any of the positive off our boards … objectively … 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herb Jones was on that team too… With virtually the same team that you are waving Pom poms about for a year later. Yah you’re right I AM the one ignoring the facts. Sounds like you are the one doing that. Imagine being a cheerleader for our biggest rival. Couldn’t be me….

Their fan base as a whole, in large part due to being overshadowed by football, just isn't as passionate about basketball as a lot of other places. And that will never change.

You’re arguing in emotion while I’m talking in just statistics and numbers. You know what it would mean if they were bad in 2020, elite in 2021, bad in 2022, elite in 2023, and bad in 2024?

Right, but that’s every SEC fanbase except maybe Kentucky. At least out of the SEC schools that matter in at least one of the two major sports, if their general fanbase could pick being fully behind football or basketball, they’re gonna pick football. This is literally THE football region lol I’m not poking fun at you or anything here btw, like if the main point of your post was to say “Auburn has a better basketball fanbase than Alabama” without saying it, I don’t disagree. But we have a pretty similar makeup in ideology to them when it comes to sports, as many other SEC schools + Clemson + FSU and so forth do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While we have a tradition rich program ourselves, the truth is, we are never going to match them as far as long term success on the gridiron. In stretches, we can be better. But not long term. I think most Auburn fans realize that our best chance to match, or hopefully even surpass them long term, is on the hardwood. Thus, the reason for our fan base being much better and more passionate for basketball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
