Altitude is one thing....scoring 23 points in a half is another.

No idea why I thought they had more points at half than they did.

What did those announcers just say?

High Altitude, no depth, late at night. Sounds familiar...

As much to do with lack of depth as altitude.

AU doesn't have the depth to be running up and down the floor in a fast paced game.

Yeah, it was almost inevitable AU would lose. Traveling to the Rockies coupled with playing a midnight tipoff, the roof was going to get blown off.

God damn, Auburn.

Did your players visit a smokeshop beforehand?

It's hard to play basketball when your legs are gone. Your feet feel like cement blocks and you start trying to shoot with just your upper body.

They are moving around fine. They just can't shoot worth a shite. Alabama hasn't shot well. They played defense though to keep them in it. Granted, Colorado is a good team, so ill give them that and that only. Bruce Pearl is a good coach, to give an analogy of whats taking place: Its like Jeff Gordon driving a beater in the Daytona 500

Well, it should be an easy game for Arky then.

Moving around is one thing, taking a jump shot when your legs are gone is different.

Good god, what was the last Auburn coach doing as far as recruiting?

Shooting sucks and there is no inside presence.

Nothing. The biggest contributors this year will be guys Pearl has already brought in.

Got to love the guys that have watched a total of 1 minute of the team this year give their opinion of the team.

Fatigue is not the reason they lost by 30 points. If they played that game in Auburn, Alabama they still lose by double digits. They don't play defense and when their shooting goes cold, its over.

Like I said, its like Jeff Gordon driving a beater in a sunday race.

If that isn't a 15-20 point road win, it will be a long arse season.

No, they're just people that hate Auburn and want to flame. It will be fine though. Pearl will ruin some seasons this year and pull out some upsets.

Yep, you're right. Arky will scrub the floor with AU. Sleep easy.

More embarrassing:

Auburn's football defense or Auburn's basketball defense?

Auburn kept it close throughout the game until about 12 minutes to go. That just makes me believe that they got tired.
