Not sure who is doing the voiceover.



I'm blanking on his name. It's a former coach who works with Field of 68 occasionally.

A win @Auburn tonight would make them go into hiding until football season.

Hoping for a fair and consistent whistle tonight (lol). If Nelson can stay out of foul trouble and Bama turns it over less than their season average, I think Bama can win. Going to be tough.

I fully expect Pearl to deploy the UT defensive strategy against us and sell out to crowd the three point shot. Going to have to drive and finish strong at the rim to make them pay for the overplay.

Will be interesting to see how we defend Broome. Not sure we can play that small ball lineup with Nelson at the 5 the majority of the night. Wague and Pringle need the defensive performances of the season between them. Last game Broome got mostly whatever he wanted and Bama was fortunate Auburn only shot 5-25 from 3.

Hope KD Johnson is ready to play in Mark Sears state tonight.

I think we can give them hell for 40 minutes. Tough to win at auburn and a consistent whistle is basically already guaranteed to be out the window, but I feel like we’ll be locked in.

Sad day to wake up a fan of that polytech cow college across the state

I hope Bruce is telling them this is a must win game because pressure does not help your jump shot.

This is going to be a tough win to get, but if there was ever a time for us to have one of those games where everything is clicking, this is it. Nothing would be sweeter than beating them convincingly at their place.

Nobody outside our program is expecting us to win, and Auburn absolutely has to win this game. With a loss to us:
- SEC title prospects become extremely dim
- Would be the second consecutive sweep by their rival
- Oats would be 7-3 against their GOAT

There is going to be a ton of pressure on their players tonight. If we can match their energy and not get behind early, I think you'll see them start playing really tight.

I cannot stress enough that Oats took over a perennial NIT program as Auburn was coming off a Final Four and has still completely outperformed Pearl. Crazy stuff

My birthday is tomorrow. So goddammit, I want an early present. I'm not expecting one. But if I get one, and get to talk shite to Auburn fans at the parade, it'll be a damn good birthday.

Since Oats got hired Bama has the best SEC record in the conference.

Pearl hasn't made it past the first weekend since Oats was hired.

I look at Oats as the best coach in the SEC but I'm not sure when everyone else will figure that out.

Probably closeness bias, but man Auburn basketball fans are the worst. 90% of them never watched a second of college ball before 2015, yet somehow possess all the smugness and sense of entitlement of Duke fans. It’s the most bizarre thing.

They discovered basketball during a downtime for Bama and an historic run by Auburn. They don't understand that them losing to Bama isn't a fluke, it's the norm.

We got to be physical & aggressive from the jump. Play under control! Value the basketball is super important.

Give MAX EFFORT! Rely on each other!!

A win tonight would break their fanbase. I haven’t seen one Auburn fan that doesn’t think they blow us out
