Nobody wants to come play in a 15k seat arena that has 200 fans

It was serious for a while but I believe they've got it under control. From what I understand King should start working out soon. Don't know what that means as far as future PT.

We can easily go 9-5 or even 10-4 the rest of the way. Our team is getting better by the game.

I wonder if a medical redshirt has been discussed?

I doubt he would want to do that since he already sat out last year unless he has no choice

Bill Battle is stepping down and Arizona AD Greg Byrne is expected to be our new AD.

Being from Arizona, I'm guessing he'll take basketball very serious

If he replaces Coleman with something better, than he'll forever be a legend in this thread.

Collin Sexton was named an All American. Petty wasn't.

We were mediocre for the first 30-35 minutes then exploded down the stretch. They turned it over a lot at that point similar to us vs Florida, and we caught fire from three.

Corban was our best player

2011 Auburn @ Bama is on SEC rewind this morning. Good game, Green tips in the game winner if I remember correctly

ETA: Our offense was miles worse under Grant. I don't care what the stats say. We never got the ball inside the three point arc until 15 seconds on the shot clock.

The color guy said, "Regardless of the outcome today, there's no doubt Auburn will be the most improved SEC team next year."

They won 1 more conference game the next year

I miss Tony Barbee

We know Avery will be working hard on him to get a new arena too.

It'd be really interesting to see what capacity they'd decide on if we get a new arena. I know most in here want a smaller arena, but we sold out several games last year. I know a lot of those seats weren't actually filled, but they still made money selling the tickets.

At the time that wasn't a super absurd statement, Barbee just made sure it never happened

That team had some great scorers like Chris Denison, Earnest Ross and Frankie Sullivan. All three were legit go to scorers at the college level.

Additionally Auburn had promise in the post with athletic freak Kenny Gabriel, Rob Chubb being tall and some young freshman with size


while having post players who were projected to improve in Kenny Gabriel and Robb Chubb

That team definitely should have been a NIT bubble type team. With barbees cupcake scheduling we could have won 25+

He landed on his feet getting that Kentucky assistant job. Hopefully LSU hires him after Jones

Joe Lunardi is usually as close as it gets when determining who makes the NCAA tourney and who doesn't. Someone asked him on twitter if Bama had a chance to make it this year and he said yes, but he said we need "multiple 'up' wins in conference play" to make it.

Our chances at "up wins" like Joe said would be @Georgia, @Arkansas, @South Carolina, vs Kentucky, vs Georgia.
