Now the step back 3 he made from like 29 feet out, I believe that was off a screen. If I’m wrong let me know, but I believe we had the center hedge on the screen with Tre, then he took like 3 steps back worth of space to create that shot. I had a feeling it was going in since it followed the aforementioned tough shot, but maybe you could’ve defended that differently 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aucom96 1,638 Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 Are we just looking for a nearly full portal rebuild next season? Can't see Broome returning. I'd be surprised if CBM did. We desperately need to upgrade our guard play. I just don't see it with Holloway and Tre is very inconsistent, to say the least. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WillMunny 1,384 Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 So do y'all think CBM's foul should have been a flagrant 1 or 2? Bruce thought flagrant 1. I'm not sure I understand the difference. It was definitely intentional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CBM isn’t a NBA prospect and loves Auburn. I’d be shocked if he didn’t take advantage of being the presumed #1 option next year. You definitely need a true facilitator though. Even if it results in Aden, Tre or KD leaving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure I understand the difference. It was definitely intentional. 1 is incidental contact of a flagrant level, 2 is with real intention. If you had a chance to catch the HT show, Kenny agreed with the F2 call bc CBM looks over at the Yale guy before throwing the elbow. That would signify intention. He winds up as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idk about your coaching expertise but from watching bball when a guy gets on a heater one guy isn’t going to stop him no matter what.

Most times the refs don't throw the player out of the biggest game in their live 2 minutes in unless there's a sucker punch involved. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cole256 17,084 Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 Our guards missed those free throws.... They are good guys but they are good back ups. They aren't those guys. I knew they both were going to miss the free throws. Just shows you need to be able to identify talent and have them on deck. I'm watching Mark out produce all of our guards on 7 minutes...... Its aggravating..... We had a big stage if we do this right 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ones that are hard to guard, of course, are the ones who can get to the rim AND shoot. And if you let a guy who is a spot up shooters beat you off the dribble consistently when you are a better athlete, that's an effort issue.

TigerTennis80 349 Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 Like all y 'all, I'm crushed & will need some time to get over this one. When I watched KY play last night I said then that I hope we don't have somebody shoot like that against us. And damn. I can't help but wonder if CBM on him would have made a difference. As Cole said, even if he misses just a couple of those shots, that would have been huge. But despite CBM & that guy's big night... The turnovers. Missed free throws. And can't get a layup to fall. Sometimes it really seems like there really are basketball gods who really have decided against you. I'm a little different than some of you regarding our guards next year. I hope Aden stays & develops his considerable skills. Same for Tre. Seems to me they have talent so that with development they could be really good. And hopefully smarter after going through this year & learning from it (I hope). Look at Broome's development this year. Huge. And I hope CBM will not want to leave Auburn under these circumstances. The thing about crushing losses is that returning & getting a big win is even sweeter. I hope they'll want to stick together & work together to get such a big win. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was supposed to be an 5* elite shooter - otherwise he’s just another AU undersized guard. The kid was already a build project physically. Now he’s a total rebuild mentally.

GTNupe11 2,038 Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 26 minutes ago, WillMunny said: 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. And in his 10 years of being here, has he recruited one that has committed and stayed for their entire time here? I can't think of one.... I like the small guards but only if they can shoot and actually be a threat to get down hill. Sure would be nice to get some but I won't hold my breath.
