I don't think we are playing this year. Right?

Avery said Greg Byrne helped get this game scheduled

quote:

"He's really serious about helping to continue to grow our basketball brand," Johnson said of Byrne. "He was a major part of that negotiation."

Ah, I must have missed that. Now I see, 2018-19.

No, we're playing them this season.

@abyingtonTD just typed that tweet wrong. Someone asked him this:

2018 meaning during this upcoming 2017-18 season?


And @abyingtonTD responded with "Yes"

That's the kind of game where we'll hang around for a while and look pretty good doing it, then just get out 5-starred at the end. I'm ok with that. Just don't want to get blown out of the gym. If we play Zona and play them well and lose by 10 or less, that will look good on the resume'. If we go out there and lose by 25, we'd be better off staying home. Either could happen.

If we managed the upset, holy fricking cow, what an RPI boost.

He fixed the tweet

To clarify, the deal w/ #Arizona would begin this upcoming season (2017-18) w/ a trip to Tucson & a return game in Tuscaloosa in 2018-19.

Great Q&A with Coach Avery
Tidesports
My favorite part:
quote:

What conversations have you had with Greg about Coleman, creating a more student-friendly environment?

quote:

I’m not going to talk about specifics. But those conversations have taken place and we’ve covered a lot of ground. What I would say is, and I’ll let Greg speak for himself, at some point in the future you’ll probably here some information on what our plans are. But now is not the time.”

We have something in the works

When I read that comparison, I was shocked. It's ridiculous

Nique, at Petty's age, was a totally raw, powerful athlete and already a legendary dunker. He couldn't shoot at all.

Petty is, from all I've seen and read, a smooth shooter with long, fluid athleticism.

Well, they're both black and both kinda tall I guess. Makes sense.

Reasonable

Asinine. I don't think most Auburn fans truly believe that right now.

I love how Coach doesn't go with the typical coach speak and say "Guys, he hasn't played a game yet." Instead he throws out the name of a different NBA legend . I'm not a car guy nor am I rich, but I'd buy a ferrari if Avery tried to sell me one.

Was getting to play in Huntsville a priority for you all after the atmosphere this season?

“Absolutely. We had a great time in Huntsville. Sold out. The energy that was in the building was unbelievable. Really excited about returning to Huntsville.”




Sounds like they'll play in Huntsville again this year

And he wants to become a collegiate coach? He better be one hell of an x's and o's guy because that does not bode well for the scouting and recruiting department.
