re: Bama basketball done, it's over (ESPN2)

Granted... he is just now getting back Key but still.

Personally, I'd start

Sexton
Petty
Ingram
Giddens
Hall

First off the bench:

Key (once he gets in shape)
Jr.
Smith/Reese

Norris (dude gets you 3-4 points & rebounds but I feel like he isn't athletic enough and we aren't a well coached team to cover that up)

I think Herb will be a good player but until he can control his foul count. He is a liability.

Man you guys are going to look silly once Avery gets this train rolling. And he will get it rolling- downhill. Its taking him a little longer than we thought to work out the kinks in the chain but I can hear the train coming,the tracks rumbling and the whistle.
I am no sunshine pumper but I can't see how Avery can fail. So stop dying with each game we will have a good season.

It's sad that gene , an Auburn fan has more sense than anyone on this board. Young talent takes time to gell and grow. If any of u can't see that this team has played a difficult schedule than I don't know what to tell u. Improvement has to be made yes , but LSU better than us, nit ? Lol really . We could be 10&1 right now against a crap schedule and it would be fools gold. The biggest thing is getting freshmen to understand that it takes bringing it night in and night out. The UCF game is the only loss that wasn't expected. We re still where I thought we d be and I still believe it'll come together. Way more to look forward to than the last couple of regimes gave us. While I'm venting , someone on this thread or another said we re killing Sexton's stock and he should sit rest of year. That is beyond a dumb shite statement because he's a lottery pick anyway and quit or sit isn't part of his vocabulary.

Avery might be the Kevin Sumlin of basketball....if you have to kiss the azzz of the recruits to get them to sign then expect to continue that process to get them to play............this bunch is soft and show little signs of being well coached. Come March it will become clear whether the guy is just a good recruiter or a good coach (both).

I'm still sticking with 9-4 ooc and 9-9 in conference, win 1 in the tourney and make it at 19-13.

Do we really think we were better than that team? If we played them 10 times, I'm not sure we would win 5.

Don't jump out the window yet.

We need to split the Tex/A&M games and honestly the better outcome was beating A&M due to it being an SEC game. That's still there for us.

Good recruiting is more than half the battle in Basketball.Teams that recruit well have successful basketball programs. Marry good players with with even half decent coaching you can go far in college basketball. Plenty of examples if anyone wants to research that. Dale Brown & Jim Boeheim come to mind. Did Wimp win with great coaching or great players? Or a little bit of both?

Haven't watched much basketball this year, but the effort was not there.

We missed a 3 pointer and they had a 4 v 1 the other way. Bamba flushed it with not another Bama player anywhere on the screen.

Another, Bamba has the ball in low post and it's knocked out of his hands. 3 Bama defenders surrounded the ball yet Bamba, a frickin 7 footer, is the only one on the floor after the ball.
