WillMunny 1,384 Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 Looks like Bama is going to the Final 4. And has matched/surpassed us in accomplishments the past few years. Their guard play is phenomenal compared to ours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You get to choose AU’s next PG. Sears with what seems like 10 clutch threes! Find us another one of him! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dual-Threat Rigby 8,819 Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 Sears is a monster man. That being said, they won this one bc of Pringle down the stretch. Important to mention that Sears's screen management and the gravity that creates allows Pringle to get some easy looks, but dude was a monster around the rim.

Born in Wisconsin, coached high school ball in Wisconsin and then coached a very small college in Wisconsin and then went to coach Buffalo when Bobby Hurley left. Then Alabama hired him. That's his whole career!! Strange how he's never been in the south but then comes here and recruits well and has won alot of games. Now they've hired Kalen DeBoer in football and he's never been in the south either. If he does well at Bama then maybe it isn't so much where the person is from but more about how well the athletics department is ran. After Harsin bombed, all I've heard is that a coach that's never been in the south will never win. Could it possibly be that our athletics department isn't ran as well as Alabama's is? I mean, Brian Kelly has done fine at LSU and he's never been in the south that I know of. Saban is from West Virginia.................. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strange how after getting that big contract Bruce has been coasting. Sec Champs ok , is it really that big a deal in the National picture. Obviously not. Bruce has failed the big picture. While he is better than average, so are a lot of coaches and they are still playing. watch uat be national champs, They will be the popular pick Edited March 31 by TigerOne 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1auburn1 1,120 Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 A lot better poise, a lot better plan, a lot better shooters and face it, a lot better coach overall in Oates. As much of a jerk as he is, he has the winning formula. High energy, disruptive play with great scorers on the roster. They won’t beat UConn but this run has made a statement.

Well Clingan is Kessler-esque, I'll definitely give you that. That's at least how I've viewed him And like Kessler against Miami, Clingan is going against what will be his toughest matchup systematically. We'll see how well he moves on the perimeter when defending those Sears-Grant Nelson screens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has UConn been tested ? Uat knows they can win and they don’t play stupid undisciplined ball like Auburn 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was actually a very good idea to look outside the good ol' boy network. We just hired the wrong guy. The right coach can recruit anywhere. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cole256 17,084 Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 (edited) Two things I'm proud of this game. One we used to fuss at Mark all the time for being too quiet and even when the game was won he was reigning his guys in and communicating. And you would have to know him but he wouldn't shoot 3s when he was younger, and the way he started didn't put his head down, didn't hesitate, didn't freeze up. Let the first half be the first half second half you would have thought he didn't miss a shot the first half. Most points in a season?? Teared up a little bit. He's been told he's not good enough for so long....I hope he thinks about what he accomplished I may have to go to the final 4 to get the experience.

cole256 17,084 Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 I don't see them beating UConn, but like I said when we had our awesome backcourt, when you have good guards all it takes is a guy getting hot at the right time and who knows what can happen. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAG 34,034 Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 But we won the Sec tournament. It just means more [yellow font]. I can’t help but feel how excited I would be for Auburn to be in the final four tonight. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
