Holy frick. Is this real?



Ya, keep in mind that we play ~3-4 more games in our schedule than say Sonny Smith but


-Sonny Smith never won 20+ games during the regular season
-Cliff Ellis won 20+ twice
-Lebo won 20+ Once


Back in 1958 Joel Eaves pulled off the 20W

Here are some facts for those disappointed with the bball team's performance

If Auburn wins 1 more game, it will be tied for 6th most regular season wins by an AU team in the past 50 years (since 1966)

If Auburn wins 2 more games, it will be tied for 5th most regular season wins by an AU team in the past 50 years




I absolutely get how much better this season has been that our previous.. But, and you know there is one, it does not excuse the lack of execution, poor defense and just utter shitty way we have finished games.

Saying our turd is shinny'er than it has been does not change much. At some point we have to expect more. There is no doubt in my mind, this team could have easily had 4 more wins and probably made the dance

I think the main source of disappointment is the poor SEC showing. Except for Ala, we haven't been very competitive against the upper of middle part of the league. Gotta do more than beat the worst of the worst (LSU, MO). A win against Ga or Ark and an 8-10 finish would help and show that we might be a threat next year..

It's hard to draw too many conclusions since we've had to start over every year making it near impossible to have continuity while building the culture

YR1- Recover from Barbee
YR2- Only return shitty Bowers/Granger from playing rotation
YR3- Only Brown played full season, Lang/Dunans both had long term injury issues


Next year, if we can't figure out shite out we have a problem. We will have problems obviously, but if we aren't NCAAT locks pre SECT I'll be concerned

Agreed.

Today is a big game. Hope we can find a way to win.

I've made it my twitter mission to get Danjel Purifoy to wear an arm sleeve

He has claimed he'd wear one every game. Still hasn't pulled the trigger. Fricking jerk

I've noticed. You're probably annoying him at this point.

He has suspenders. Isn't that enough?

It clearly is a joke and gets less serious each time. He likes all the tweets and could just not let me see his account since it is private

I pointed to Space Jam, that's quality effort right there

Man we need this W tonight! I know it's just an NIT bid, it would be great - especially for Wiley - to get that extra practice under his belt. I feel pretty good about next season. They've all had to mesh on the fly with Wiley coming in late, so I think an off-season together will do wonders on making it more of a "team".

All of the experience is going to be huge too. Just going to the NIT and getting a post season tournament feel would be huge.

Well they're better than us... but they've lost Mizzou on the road... It's not like ark is anything special.

Exactly. They just act like we're still in the Barbee era

Okay, it's obviously not working trying to force itin to Austin. Let's try something else.
