How long has it been since we’ve won it that shithole


Auburn in general or the new arena? Because compared to Coleman, that place is a palace and I’m still pretty jealous.

ETA: First win at AU since 2015.

There are no bad road wins in conference play


Well that's definitely the way I feel about it, but years of watching Bama basketball has taught me that I have no idea what is a "good win," what is a "bad loss," and what means nothing.

I wonder if Coach has a fondness for plaid?

He has good handles, but he's not the freak athlete that Colin is. It looks like Cooper can barely dunk.

Is there such a thing as a bad SEC road win?

I guess if you're a bettor. Alabama was favored by 5

Is this going to become a good win or is this a game we should have won by more than 4?


If Cooper plays like he did for AU today it will be a very good win. They will also be a tough out in Coleman.

His speed and control remind me a lot of a young Kira. Maybe less athletic in general.

The kid is obviously a fine player, but a quick, 6'1" to 6'4" defensive minded guard should be able to keep him from taking over a game like he did today.

Always a good win when you take one on the road at Auburn, especially since Pearl has been there.

If we are, when is the last time we were ranked? I don’t even remember being Top 25 in Collin Sexton’s season. I might be way off though.

Edit: Looks like we were number 24 and number 25 for two weeks in November in 2017. Before that, we hadn’t been ranked since the 2011-12 season. Good lord.

Yep, he’s gotta realize this isn’t high school and just because you want to be the hero doesn’t mean you can.


I think he was just exhausted those last 3 possessions. He played 33 minutes (seemed like 40) and I'm guessing he is still not in game shape. Hope he is one and done!

We had a cup of coffee with the #25 spot during the early part of Sexton's year

We won a squeaker against UT-Arlington and Louisiana Tech while we were in it I believe. Then lost the 3 on 5 game in Brooklyn against Minnesota

I hope the guys and Oats don't get pulled over and arrested on the way home because we STOLE one today in Auburn! ANY road win in the SEC is a good win. On to Kentucky!

What a coaching job by Oats. Doesn’t even look like the same team that started the season
