The most difficult game of the season is Saturday. We absolutely have to avoid the traditional post-big win bed shitting. We can't lose a home game to State.

Yep, considering what we need to do to make the tourney, the last 2 wins were HUGE.
Really enjoyed being at that game. There were quite a few Auburn fans, but a little less than I expected honestly. Always great to defend home court in the SEC even against good teams.
Holy crap can Herb run the point more?! That was fantastic.
Amazing that we were able to win this game with: Sexton out, Hall limited, 19 TO, and shooting poor FTs. I thought we played pretty good defense in many cases tonight.

Yeah abdominal strain isn't worst thing in world. Interesting about having 8 wins vs group 1 and 2...That's big.

Good game guys 
As I said before the game, the choke is real.

I dont mean to talk bad about any of our players but....I absolutley hate when Dazon turns into a passive pussy like he was tonight.

My adrenaline is still rushing after that game guys. What a finish.

Help me understand what you mean. He only made 3 shots, but had 16 points, which means he got to the line.. which means he had to at least be a little aggressive. How was he passive?

I think he means the low basketball iq stuff. Sometimes I think Ingram and key over-think.

Our team can be really good, but we got to fix our problems instead of trying to shoot them away
Some day the rim shrinks for you and you shoot like shite. When that happens, you lose to a team that played Avery Johnson Jr real minutes

Admittedly, this was the first time I've watched Auburn all year and I was surprised at their lack of size. Going to be tough down the stretch if Auburn gets in games where the refs swallow their whistles in the paint like they did tonight.

John Petty was asked by the SEC Network after the game how it felt to beat Auburn.
“It felt good, but the season’s not over. We’re going to beat them again.”

Stfu GC. You been talking shite for days. Yall got whooped bc AU is not as good as you thought. They got beat by 5 by an average Bama team that didn't have their best player and their 2nd best player was limited. Ok, Auburn isn't some world beater great basketball team. They've just benefitted from an easy schedule.

I don’t understand why it seems like we can have Petty shooting the lights out like tonight or we can have Colin doing his thing, but we can’t seem to have both at once. We’d be damn near unbeatable if we could get high teens, low twenties production from both on most nights. Why do they seem mutually exclusive?

How are we not more comfortably in the NCAAt as of right now?? Our RPI is 26 and We have 8 top 85 RPI wins and 4 top 50 RPI wins....so how were we an 11 seed coming into the Auburn game??
Posted on 1/18/18 at 5:36 am to eric4UA08
Just a couple of times he had layups and kicked it out or not going up with a purpose. Or just making dumb decisions all night.
I hate passive Dazon, I love agressive Dazon.

I'd say we're definitely in if we just avoid the bad losses right now. We can't afford another showing like we had vs UGA, and it really wouldn't help if we lost Ole Miss. Considering how our schedule looks from Mizzou to the end of the regular season, we need to just beat the Mississippi schools and hope OU's entire team gets explosive diarrhea.
