SEC Tournament Championship Game Thread

We need to pound it low, and get kickouts to Denver and CBM.

Refs need to be better than they have been. The fall down, no-call travel was egregious which led to a bucket for UF.  Either it was a travel, a foul on us, or a jump ball.  It wasn't, however, a legal basketball action. We did ourselves no favors with the silly turnovers and frustrating missed layups.  If we could just make a few threes in the 2nd half, and keep up the defensive intensity, we will win this thing!  War Eagle!

Played great D. Shooting 39% or we would be up by 15 or so. Feels like we lost a chance at having a big lead.

Thank you.  They say defense wins championships.

No, seriously,  it's hard for me to see fouls - or lack of them - in real time.

(But then I just turned 73 today.)

Happy Birthday. I'm a little long in the tooth myself, but you've got a few years on me.

They've had very few uncontested shots. We missed too many open ones.

Florida is right there for the taking.

So far, we are not playing real smart, and not hitting the shots that would be the lethal daggers. 

Playing good defense though.

We HAVE to come out with even more intensity the second half. UF has been a second half team in this tourney. Give no quarter!

Need KD to rein it in ? I saw a couple posts about him being nuts as usual

Not if you don’t score. First 5 minutes second half Auburn needs to make shots and take control otherwise we may see Florida get ahead.

These halftime guys are talking like Auburn is playing lights out and they are far from it . Plenty to improve on.

[CCTAU 3,342]

Jay is quietly having a good game in the paint. Feed him and Broome and we might wear down the big guys.

Yep, he's exactly who I was referring to when I said we're not playing smart basketball

I know analysts are gonna anal …

but the “Florida will shoot better and be back in this” … apparently auburn is unable to shoot better also?

Happy Birthday. I think BP and the players are about to give you a nice tourney win to help celebrate.

[boisnumber1 2,821]

If Richard starts the 2nd half for UF, we need to go straight at him to get his 4th. The worse their numbers are, the better.

Maybe so. I'm just so pi$$Ed he took the shot I wasn't going to see no foul.

It’s amazing in the building today. AU folks showing out.  WDE.

I wonder if the aggressiveness of the last game is on the minds of the officials. It’s almost like they are expecting us to foul more than Florida.

I can definitely see where officials feel they have to be tough on us to keep us in check. I'm just glad they are letting us be physical under the goal.  Tickytac down low really affects us more.

If the other team is scoring there is always room for improvement lol

NGL, their bigs are fun to watch with the effort they give.
