I watched their game versus UTEP yesterday. Still can't believe how far Tim Floyd has fallen in the coaching ranks over the years. From the Chicago Bulls and USC to UTEP.. Crazy

I feel like most of our fans only casually (if at all) watch basketball and only watch teams like Kansas and UK and expect us to look like them.

It's easy to come off that way when the only time I see you in this thread is after a loss.



But that could be half the time

I didn't realize that's where he ended up after USC. UTEP gives me chills.

Its true because I am the only one here who thinks we have not been good.

And you can't possibly express that in any way or fashion


Because we are Auburn Family now

Why though? What in the first nine games with a full roster (less Purifoy and sometimes Deen) made you think we were terrible?

Why? Because we like to see the team not turn the ball over or take errant shots? Regardless of the talent level, a basketball team is capable of playing fundamentally sound basketball.

So if we win the next game does old Lanier come back?

With the injuries, I'm understanding of the fact the W's won't come easy, but my eyes shouldn't bleed from watching a shite-show while picking up losses.

I can't disagree that these last two games have been really bad. Bruce has some work to do.

The turnovers are definitely a concern but are a product of having a bunch of guys that haven't played together very long. The errant shots are really on Bowers. Canty puts up some wild ones but he also makes a good bit of them.

Old Lanier is here. If we win the next game, we still will not be a very good team.

But reality is not allowed here. I have full trust in Bruce but we are not there yet. Hopefully, this team can get healthy and win some games before this season is over

Yeah, I understand Canty has to take those shots to give us a chance, but Bruce shouldn't put up with Bowers. He should have been benched a while ago. He's not setting a very good standard by allowing it to continue.

Bowers has a better chance of winning the powerball than making a layup. At least Canty on average does pretty well
