f we can win 3 games vs *TxTech/*OU/@Uconn we can definitely beat the other cellar dwellers
Vandy is ALWAYS a tough place to go play. They're well coached, talented, and play in a funky arena.

SEC so far looks like top half: KY, FL, GA, ARK, SC, Vandy, TN. Bottom half AU, AL, LSU, MO, Miss, MST, A&M. Are we upper echelon of the lower half??

We are going to lose to shite teams and beat good teams. When you play 6 FR/SO and a HS Senior it is expected
It's why we dominated UGA for 30 minutes then lost by 12.

Serious question. I can't tell what our "offense" is doing.
The plan by Pearl seemed to be attacking Luke Kornet as the base of Vandy's 1-3-1 zone. This was done by having 2 guys attack the low blocks. The problem was getting passes into them and crisp passes betweem them when the ball got low. 7'1 is also hard to shoot over or around with more comparable size.
When that plan didn't work in the first 15 minutes, I'm not sure what the plan was. It seemed like a lot of throwing different things at the wall.

Saturday should tell us a lot about the direction this team is about to go.

If you want to learn before Saturday let me know.

4 of the next 5 games should be wins if we are an NIT team. Miss, Ala, LSU at home, MO on the road.

Auburn's basketball broadcast ends without a Bruce Pearl interview. He's still in locker room 43 minutes after loss.
Per Marcello. Hopefully they're getting a wake up call.

Rob Pate and others just ripping au bball on twitter. I'm glad to see it. People expected more in Pearl's 3Rd year
Posted on 1/4/17 at 9:04 pm to AUtigR24
Yeah well we can't be too pissed about Pearl. He is easily the best we can get.
Posted on 1/4/17 at 9:06 pm to AUtigR24
Meh we're two games into an 18 game conference schedule. I mean it is disappointing to start like this, but people need to calm down.

I don't think we can get better than pearl either but like those on twitter I want to see our highly paid coach put a decent product on the court

He's getting a soft pass from me this year but next year I want to see better defense better fundamentals better effort ..

I thought that announcer hit it dead on towards the end of the game. We have no identity right now

I don't know. I think there's a Tip-Off Club meeting next week. He takes questions.

We don't right now. Early in the year Purifoy was hitting shots. Now he's not. Heron and Dunans are really the only guys we have that can create their own shot and Dunans is playing like arse. We need him to be a leader. Heron looks like the most seasoned player we have. Defense just has to improve across the board. We're lost out there.
