autigeremt 6,660 Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Pretty good spanking tonight at BEMC. Tigers played aggressive and made it look easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LegalEagle 22 Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 AU was focused mentally. I think it might have been because they had confidence in beating A&M. A&M was terrible. Almost all of there shots were from 3 point range. AU hit well from every distance. We seemed to have improved from the foul line also. I'd have to check the stats to be sure. There were several great passes. It was a different team than I'm used to seeing. We will be televised Wednesday night and Saturday. I hope some fans will show up to cheer them on. Our attendance is pathetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JB33 1 Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Auburn shot it very well in the first half (especially from 3), and A&M was never in it. Have to keep up the intensity on defense (10 steals, most of them early) and effort on the boards (2-1 advantage; Lucas Hargrove is playing much bigger than he is, and Q, as always, is helping out) - the latter will be especially key in conference. Hard to gauge much in terms of offensive execution when the opponent puts up so little resistance, but if we turn the ball over 19 times (didn't really pay attention, but hopefully most of these were late in the game, during garbage time) against a good team , we may lose by 42.

TitanTiger 20,508 Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 We only gave up 12 pts the entire second half after only giving up 28 in the first. Defense was very intense and shot selection looked much better. That said, I cannot believe Barber is a 43% FT shooter. That's mind-boggling ineptitude at the line. The guy really needs to shoot those things until his arms fall off to get better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
