Denver Jones today just lets the free throw shooter blow past him in a really late 4 point


Can’t remember if it was Denver or not looked like Chaney but either way if you watch their movement on the replay looks like whoever it was got poked in the eye or something they bend over grabbing their eye. As the shooter moved in to get the rebound.

It was definitely big #12, but I think it was actually a 2 point game and less than 2 minutes left. They're tired and don't want to play most of the boring arse SEC schedule. Just get it together by mid February.

Bruce is the best Basketball coach for Auburn. What he did is amazing and unprecedented.

SEC road games are brutal. The tournament is neutral site, so everyone loses home court advantage. Our home court advantage is as good as anyone’s so we struggle.

Basketball is a long season sport.

I think Bruce Pearl is probably the best coach Auburn has ever had in any of the major sports. He's not without faults, but he's been unreal in building the program.

As many have said...road games in the SEC are just hard. Going into yesterday the home teams were 30-11. After yesterday, the home teams are 34-14. Yesterday you had UK win at Arky...UT win at Vandy and Ole Miss win at aTm.

This Auburn team is good. Can be really good at times. They aren't great though and will lose more games. It's basketball...all teams lose.

Someone here wrote this on Valentines Day Final 4 Year

This dude claims to be a fan of Bruce as well

quote:

I made the comment last week that we were not getting better but playing worse. All those big games we got moral victories in were early in the season.

The later pare of this season has sucked all out. We are not getting better but worse. The team is still ver disorganized, not playing with any heart and look like 5 guys and a ball.

IF you are looking for this team to stand up and do something great all the sudden, I think you are going to be disappointed. They may beat someone they shouldn't but overall they are done


And 5 years may not be long enough to build a dynasty but it is long enough to construct a team and win games you should win. This team cant beat anyone good on any consistent basis


FF to today we have similar arguments with different brewing skillsets on the court.

He can't conceive that. Too far for him to reach.

I think its definitely still possible we get it together and figure out a way to make a run but I'm not expecting it anymore.

It was either Denver or Tre. Chaney and Johni boxed out their man. One of the guards are supposed to pick up the FT shooter and if everyone does their job you’ve got a guy free for an easy rebound. No one picked up the FT shooter.

Like a final 4 run? lol

This team is good and has good chemistry I’m not sure they have final 4 talent.

Not saying it can’t happen but I don’t even think Kansas, Kentucky, North Carolina and Duke expect a final 4 run.

Just get to the dance preferably a 4 or higher seed. Then hope you play well and things bounce your way.

Missed FT rebound and score at the 8:25 mark of the video. Denver definitely takes an elbow to the face

That is some pretty powerful stuff. Honestly, I did not see anything on here tonight that was out of bounds. The team didn’t look prepared and a few people called them on it.

I have not seen any post wanting to fire pearl. Just commenting on the poor performance.

No, not at all. Bruce makes bad coaching decision's sometimes and should be called out for it but fans calling Bruce a bad coach should be called out as well for being stupid.

I love Bruce but he needs to put together a starting 5 with a solid 6th man then a few rotational guys and stop with the 10-11 player bs.

Its like they say about qbs. If you have 3 you don't have 1

I just can't figure out why we can't get one reliable shooter. We recruit guys with good stats and they seem to forget how to shoot or get to the basket when they come to Auburn.

That consistency is what's important. That's what makes a good team. It's sort of really important.

Name the teams with more SEC wins than Auburn since 2018.


I love how yall defend mediocrity for the booger pickers based on historical records but take Bruce to the woodshed just because he is 16-4.
