We need to make sure Brown gets his scores driving to the basket. Foul him! No three point shots. Limit the offensive rebounds so they cant kick it out to him in the corner for an automatic 3.

If Herron is out, they are down to seven on scholarship that are available.

agree 100% on Brown. Keep him off the 3 line/overplay and switch. I'd rather him throw down a dunk or two as opposed to hittin six 3's.

The barners must really be scared or paranoid...One just said heron is out but he "heard sexton is out or hampered by his previous practice injury". I do agree we need to guard the 3 pt line and pound it inside.

Damn I hate that Auburn is banged up. I can’t imagine playing them with several starters out. In football or basketball for that matter

Well we were without Collin, Hall barely played, Key wasn’t himself, Norris was out, and Armond was out when we played Auburn and we still didn’t make any excuses and we won. If Auburn is great like they are claiming to be, they should be fine

They have 7 scholarship players available tonight. If we don't attempt to get them in foul trouble, I'm going to go crazy.

That's a little over the top. Just like our football team's linebacker situation down the stretch, injuries have a real impact on performance. The fact that they aren't as deep as we are only amplifies the effect of having two significant contributors out.

I don't feel the first bit guilty in saying I hope we take full advantage and beat the stupid out of them, but I'm also big enough to acknowledge that having those two guys out (and Bryce Brown coming off an injury) significantly helps our cause.

Yeah, I'm going to pitch a fit if our game plan isn't pound the rock.

We pound the rock in most games. We've got to be near the top of the conference in FTs taken.

That's not even remotely comparable to what Auburn is going through right now

Alabama played 9 guys 15+ minutes in first game v Auburn. Auburn only has 7 scholarship players available in this game

Excuses or not though, the SEC race doesn't care how injured you are though. So doesn't really matter either way
