Does anyone know when tickets will go on sale for the game vs Purdue in Birmingham?


It’s already passed. My family will be there. It was a madhouse on Ticketmaster.

Worst than getting a queue for concert tickets.

Bruce was at Simon’s school yesterday. He’s been up here several times to see him. I suspect with those three finalists, he picks AU.

He’s a shooter with tons of range that has been starting 7A basketball since he was a freshman. Dad played at UCLA and High School coach came up with Bucky at Mountain Brook. I think it’s a good piece to add.

Question marks would be his ability to defend quicker 2s and ability to get to the rim and finish against high level competition.

Shon Abaev is another we appear to be in the driver’s seat for. I think he ends up a 5*.

First off, bluedragon - sorry for your loss, prayers.

Bruce snippet on team X page says "this team has as much uncertainty about it, as far as personnel, as almost any team I've coached going into the preseason". Says he has "a number of guys that can play more than one position". Nothing earth shattering with that statement other than he specifically mentions that both Pettiford and Denver he thought to be mostly "scoring guards", will now also play with the ball in their hands. I think mentioning Tahaad after previous comments about him being more of a scorer and not point guard is telling, I believe Pettiford will get more min at PG than originally thought. I get the early cautionary statements though after the Holloway outcome. Curious what the minutes at the 1 will look like. Of course he mentions Broome at the 4 but also mentions he has wings that can play at the 2 or 3 position. Says they have "a lot of decisions make over the next month". First several games could be interesting with line ups.

He has so many veteran options available to him that I dont feel sorry for him. Time to get to work and sift through his first-world problems!

FYI...

Your Auburn Tigers are headed back to Atlanta for Holiday Hoopsgiving this year where they will clash with perennial power Ohio State in State Farm Arena on Saturday, Dec. 14!

Tickets for the game will go on sale Monday, Sept. 30 at 9 a.m. CT.

Be sure to save a reminder to the calendar on your phone, tablet or computer as this provides another opportunity to see Auburn play outside Neville Arena and support the Tigers in another marquee matchup.

A single ticket is good for entry into all three games at this year's Holiday Hoopsgiving event. State Farm Arena does not allow re-entry.

War Eagle and we hope to see you in Atlanta!
