We just went 27-7 in supposedly one of the best conferences in the country, without good guard play. So I don’t buy the oversimplification.

aubaseball 2,661 Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 Just now, AURex said: Everyone was complaining that SEC teams were underrated. Well, I think that idea died very spectacularly the past couple of days. Of the 8 SEC teams in the tourney, only Tennessee and Bama survived the first game. As for the Auburn game -- 1. The ejection of Baker-Mazara really crippled Auburn. He has been a potent contributor offensively and defensively -- but he has definitely been very aggressive and volatile all season. It caught up with him this time.. 2. Freshman Aden Holloway at point guard is a total disaster. He just dribbles around, launches 3s that invariably miss, and turns the ball over a lot. I know CBP wants to keep him, thus giving him playing time, but in reality, he should have been our 3rd string PG all season. And today illustrates why. 3. Auburn ended up playing at Yale's slow methodical tempo, which handed Yale control of the game. CBP mission to run deep in the NCAA died against a mediocre (at best) team. It's another year of frustration that everyone had higher expectations for. Yep, again! 🤥 You forgot aTm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who went for 30 against us. better guard play & shooters which I feel like we say every year Do you know that we shot 51% from the field? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many coaches have we had that we knew would be a threat in the league and get us in the dance? It sucks to lose. It sucks worse to be irrelevant. Not arguing BP has elevated the program. How much farther can he take it. KY asking same thing about Cal... We just lost to a bunch of cats that aren't even on scholarship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerOne 1,154 Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 (edited) Just feels like another season wasted. all that hard work didn’t amount to much. Yeah yeah Sec championship, well look who’s still playing. This team over achieved during the season but stupidity derailed all of that hard work.

That’s the ball game Exactly. 14 turnovers and missed free throws. And a team that has at least 2 players have career games. It's not complicated. And it still sucks.

e808 3,028 Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 How effective is it being a players coach. Having a long leash was a direct contributor to this lost. At what point do u ask players to tone it down but don’t want them to lose their edge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a matter of not liking him. . What he did was selfish. Even if it was retaliation. We needed him to win. How can we count on him next yr if he loses his cool so easily.

auburnatl1 5,122 Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 For all the talk of a 10-11 man rotation, i can’t say I ever saw a huge competitive advantage except maybe deep into the sec tournament with daily play. Clearly it’s a nice to have but I’m not sure it deserves the epic headline that was made of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KD was headed that way and got control of it sort of. KD definitely has toned down while still giving 110%. Unfortunately he’s not making the shots. Can you imagine if he hit the game winner, I thought he had it.😞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
