We've been one of the best teams in the conference defending the 3. We haven't been bad at it in 2 months.

We let Bryce brown have like 5 open 3's In a row. I just don't understand how this team game plans.

This “little” auburn team sure seem like giants. Also, are their guards that quick or does Bama players have cement in their shoes?

They are so good and driving the paint and kicking it out to wide open 3’s. Is what it is. We gotta start making easy fricking buckets in the paint

They let Petty have wide open ones as well... he just can't shoot for shite if the crowd isn't quiet or cheering for him.

Yea, I'm not sure why everyone thought all of a sudden we'd start pounding them because we are "big". We don't have good post players inside offensively other than Donta and we aren't a great rebounding team.

We just need to play out game and stop overthinking stuff because of whatever is going on with Auburn. The biggest problem is our defensive chasing.

SEC teams are shooting 29.9% against us, 2nd in the conference.

Auburn doesn't have length but they have size in terms of weight/low center of gravity.

For example, Hall isn't going to back down 6'3 Desean Murray. He can shoot over easily but it's from where he is going to catch the ball

As far as rebounds, AU hustles and is sneaky into rebounding lanes

Because they are missing wide arse open shots.

Good make by sexton. I'm amazed how much contact they let on him and then simultaneously don't allow him to play a lick of defense.

So our opponents are missing wide open shots against us but making them against every other SEC team?

Do we have voodoo dolls or something?
