Bad rebounding during stretches kept MSU in the game. That’s about it. Good to get the win. We will always struggle vs bigger teams that can shoot. Tournament success will depend on what kind of early draw we get. HOnestly, I thought Broome would struggle more against TSmith. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheap seats 40 Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 First Auburn needs to win these next 2 games. Hopefully that gets them the 3 in Nashville or at least the 4 and the double bye. They can beat any team. Not to say they will win it, but they very realistically can. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lost 452 Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 My normal post/ thoughts Good Tigers show up tonight, but even then inconsistency is our biggest problem.And again that is identified by discipline problems. I am not one to blame the Refs or an AU bias, but when it is common knowledge to rattle a cage and they answer, No wonder they are all up in ours every game and the refs are waiting with baited breath. We ask for it, and i know that is not readily accepted, but we needed to have the demeanor of Williams every game as far as emotional outbursts!! Guard play was better as far as TO but still neither sought to make plays for the most part. Guess we try again( same song 🎶 different verse again). I still have not seen the rise to the top, the growth needed to win the SEC tournament or advance far in March 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still have not seen the rise to the top, the growth needed to win the SEC tournament or advance far in March I think we're past that point, at least this season, of our PGs really "letting it go" as far as those passes. That being said, the version we of Tre we got today, sound with the ball, hunts his own shot in a controlled way, that's a version you can at least feel good about. The fact that we have like 2 games left and we're still no bit closer to having real consistency with BOTH point guards raising their floor together probably just means that they are who they are If we existed in a world where Denver/KD, Berman, Jaylin/Chaney, Broome/Dylan played as well as they have for the most part recently and CBM doesn't lose his mind, then we should be able to afford the low ceiling our PGs offer. But...that's a big if 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Life would be so much easier for Broome . honestly dude, most Rick Barnes teams are the definition of regular season teams. Some SEC fans, internally and externally, think we deserve that rep as of late, but Tenn goes out there and will be a 2 seed, then lose in the sweet 16, like it's nothing. Not to mention he did nothing with Kevin freaking Durant. But this team right here? When Knecht is on (1), when Ziegler is engaged (2), I think they're the best in the conference tbh. Today was a glass half full because Knecht was not on for most of it, and they looked really stymied against a meh Bama D. But, they missed a ton of open 3s, their defense was sensational, and Zeigler did what a vet PG should and can do. I don't even know if we need a Ziegler level PG to be a real natty contender tbh. If Ziegler is like a 8-9 as far as college PGs go, we may just need a 7. I think Tre's been a 4-6 depending on the night, and Aden just isn't a real PG at this point in the game. He needs be to graded like a shooting guard almost 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dual-Threat Rigby 8,731 Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 Btw, it's more than possible to mold a guy that'd prefer to be a chucker into something close to a traditional guard. I don't know how often it's been done under Pearl (I really just don't know), but if you look at Caleb Love, Arizona has cleaned up that guy's bad tendencies so well, he's a whole different guy than he was as a freshman. I obv hope it doesn't take a change of scenery for Aden, but there are frameworks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid's also not a great defender I'm coming to notice and endured pretty similar foul mngt today as he did against us, although we never really forced him to defend after he got 3 like Bama did 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GwillMac6 20,716 Posted March 3 Author Share Posted March 3 13 hours ago, e808 said: It’s just sad in college and pro they want offense. They think it’s more exciting taking four steps to shoot and chunking up a bunch of threes. Very hard if u are a defensive minded team Good offense is very entertaining. Bad offense is not. No one wants to see teams like the double dribblers junk and ugly up the game year after year and keep setting the college game back to the peach basket era. It’s easy to play good defense in college because of there being no defensive 3 second rule. You got coaches like tony Bennett build their whole coaching identity on that rule with the pac line defense. There is so few legit good offenses in the college game that there looks to be an abundance of “good defenses”. When in reality it’s a whole lot of bad offenses.

Can't drive to force the D to have to make decisions. Gets bullied on D. Hoping he's a project that pans out down the line. On another note, Tre and KD have disappeared the last two games.

On another note, Tre and KD have disappeared the last two games. Why? It’s a lot of things, but college is just such a gigantic leap in difficulty than AAU, esp once you get to conference play and they have game plans for you. Defense isn’t prioritized (to say the least), some states don’t use shot clocks in HS bball (so you’re not really challenged to “run an offense”), and chucker habits aren’t as detrimental to a team (usually because that 5 star chucking is the best form of offense a HS team can produce). All that being said, this is what college is for! Outside of the generational talents like KG, LeBron, Kobe, most 5 star talents need some sort of development post HS to be all that they can be. There’s some guys in the NBA now that were NBA talents coming out of HS, but are potential busts because they didn’t get that development in a real setting (Jalen Green) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dual-Threat Rigby 8,731 Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 Even though Auburn has run a lot more sets this season they have in years past (esp in comparison to the Harper years), they still ideally would want their lead guards to run a read and react type offense, where you’re just reading whatever the defense gives you and making the best play off of that Aden seems to be most comfortable when the play is ran for him to score, when he’s in transition, or when he’s off the ball (the Georgia game is best evidence of this). That all just screams 2 guard to me tbh. Pettiford himself seems to be kinda combo guard-ish, but I think he’s closer to a facilitator instinctually, so hopefully we run a lot more Aden off ball next year. He’s going to have to be less of a cone on D though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
