Buzz is Bruce's kryptonite.

Buzz just has Bruce’s number in the half court. We’ve gotta get stops and get back to hurting them on the fast break, and not let Flanigan be the one bringing the ball up the court.

Their offense is wait until 10 on the shot clock and let Radford make something happen, and Zep is the only guy that can come close to guarding him. We can’t even get a remotely decent shot off.


And ours is like hot potato, no one shoot until 1 on clock

I’m not conceding like a bitch at halftime at home but it’s gonna be tough in the 2nd half. Gotta go in and make some adjustments defensively.

And their backcourt is running circles around ours. 32 pts from their guards.

Yeah the offense wasn’t great obviously but the defense was a disaster

We knew their guards were good and we don't looked prepared. Also, one of the knocks on JWill is that he has games where he just disappears. Although it's been awhile, this looks to be one of them.

Also you would have thought after Arkansas last year that WG would have learned to just stay away from a guy he’s trailing on a breakaway dunk.

Agreed. He looks tentative

And then it has to be a NBA 3 pointer or a <6' guard driving on a packed lane, hoping for a foul.

They’re attacking and doubling the screens hard, but I expect Bruce to find a way to get him and Broome the ball early in the second half.

That was nothing more than a frustration foul.

Win or lose this game, we’re an average basketball team that’s beaten below average teams recently.

Our ceiling is average until Green Jr, Jasper, and KD are no longer in an Auburn uniform.

Yeah but there have been opportunities for him to cut or at least get big and available for the ball and he’s just been chilling

KD I get, but Zep has a role that he plays within and WG has been the only positive for us tonight and one of the best PGs in the conference the past few weeks.

Memphis exposed us. They’re just doing the same thing to us defensively. We were answering for awhile and just fell apart. This team doesn’t play well from behind.

Man we really needed to keep it 8-10 points at half and weather the storm. 15 is a big hole. Gonna need like a 50 point half

Defense is what can get us back in the game. Offense needs a little boost but defense wasn't good.
