We miss so many free throws Avery might be entering Willie Taggert territory if he made them run more than that

I really like what Avery is doing with bringing back guys from the program. Regardless of what's happened on the court, I don't think Avery has taken a single misstep marketing our program to our fans, nationally, and to recruits.

Think about what he has done recruiting wise with very little to no experience doing it coming in. Sure, he had experience persuading guys in free agency and a NBA resume to sell players on, but college recruiting is a different animal. I mean he's beating out Bill Self, John Calipari, Coach K. etc. for these guys like Sexton, Petty, Key, and Ferguson (yes I know, but he still counts).

Even the coaches like Mark Fox, Andy Kennedy, or Mike White who are far from legends have still spent their whole career honing recruiting skills, and Avery comes in and just takes it to 'em. When you also consider our lackluster arena and oftentimes mediocre fanbase, the young talent Avery's gotten for next year's squad is really remarkable.

I've always thought it was a lame chant. Shouldn't you want the team you just beat to be as good as possible

That is fricking awesome

Bama-73
Mizzou-58

I can't come because I have to work get on board day.

I like the improvement I've seen in this team. We're just one scorer away from being really good. There are plenty of role players who can step up on a given night. We just need that one (Sexton) guy that can score at any time.

I feel ya'lls pain. So Auburn is #24 nationally in free throws attempted per field goal attempt.


That's relevant because we are #231 in FT%. So while we are slightly better than Bama at FTs, we probably see our team miss just as much

13.5 point favorites tonight
