A lot of things were just out of sync after he got ejected. Tre played more minutes than he ever has. Aden was...Aden. Broome was getting mugged and no fouls. KD actually controlled himself but was still...KD. Having Chad out threw off a lot of things, especially our rotation. But, I figured even with our talent, we should beat Yale. Yeah dude played a great game and he may never score like that again, but I think coaching didn't help us either. We played to Yale's strength, which was slow basketball. We had probably 6 fast break points. We never got out on the break. Just weird to change up who you've been all season even with Chad getting ejected. We definitely should win anyway but we are deep as a team but as far as perimeter talent we are very thin. I mentioned that and the pace you just talked about. I knew EXACTLY how we would lose if we were to lose. It's sad because we were literally one, two players away 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewhiz7 273 Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 I honestly thought this year was at least sweet 16 with a real shot to get past Uconn. Man, this one hurts. I'm so depressed. I have learned my lesson with Auburn football to never get excited. It just leaves you heartbroken, which is what I am right now. Just stunned. Hats off to Yale. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw only the final 11 minutes of the game, but remember seeing him in the game only once. He committed a quick reaching foul then was banished to the bench for the remainder, it seemed. Wonder if he'll be back next year. Heck if he had just hit his layups Auburn probably wins. I am just confused. I haven’t seen his high school film. He can’t only be boom or bust from distance. The last few games he has missed easy bunnies at the rim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm mostly upset because I genuinely thought I'd we can just make it past the first weekend, we would win the whole thing.

au701948 1,009 Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 (edited) This was almost as bad as the fail against New Mexico State in football. Really sad. i do believe though that CBM getting tossed ruined team mindset and attitude…surely limited CBP coaching options.

It's sad because we were literally one, two players away IMO , Auburn would still have to pay for not having the greatest guard play. If it didnt show against SDST most definitely against UCONN if they played Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WillMunny 1,384 Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 Back when Bruce was hired, I read that he preferred big, athletic guards for his style of play. Maybe the portal will soon produce one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do coach, and I we have had several games where the other team is not as athletic, but seemingly hit everything they are throwing up early. I tell me guys, "no, that isn't good enough, you are STILL giving him too much room". I tell them, "I could beat you if you give me that much room, make him be an athlete ". Really get on their a-- about it. And once we do that, we always take over the game. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dual-Threat Rigby 8,797 Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 One thing they absolutely cannot do, is not get an experienced lead ball handler. Tre MIGHT take that leap, but Aden is not a point, Pettiford is a combo guard himself, and KD… Coming into next season without that type player would be an admittance of failure. Even more than it was when we ran it back with Wen, Zep, KD and only added Tre. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
