1-3 in conference play with a lot of our hardest games still to come.. I still don't think this team ends up making the tournament. Just too many guys who don't play up to their expected level.

Our guys dont have chemistry with TP. I think are tired of him always shooting himself out of slumps

My problem with this team is we are very inconsistent and very selfish. We don’t play good defense overall and we don’t pass the ball well at all.
Hall is a good scorer but that’s it.
Pettiford has not stepped up to the plate like we hoped this year.
Murphy hasn’t been enough offense to outweigh his lack of rim protection that we have been used to in years past.
Overton is ok but inconsistent.
Bashir has been JP Pegues 2.0
Magwood and walker haven’t had much of a chance to do anything.
Freeman has been what we expected. Very athletic and raw but could be our best player… next year.
Opurum obviously is out but when he was in was pretty useless.
Jovic and SWA are the only 2 besides Freeman that have been bright spots to me.
We really need Magwood to develop as a true PG to help balance out Pettiford for next year and SWA Freeman and Jovic continue to grow. Walker needs to get bigger and stronger and better defensively.
This year is what it is. A decent team but not gonna make any noise due to huge deficits at major spots.

I'll be honest I don't think he's back next year. I doubt he will take a pay cut and he's just not worth what we pay him. He will probably want a fresh start somewhere else too.

I don't think there is anyone involved with Auburn basketball that isn't tired of that, including Steven. What a disappointment he's been this year.

With losses to A&M and Mizzou it's going to be very difficult without major improvements and upsets. Looking like a NIT team at this point for sure.

Yea I wouldn’t be surprised but honestly his draft stock has plummeted this year. Hindsight is always 20/20 but he would have been better off going last year off the momentum of the final 4

I said it over and over last season. Pettiford is NOT a point guard. He is a 2. It doesn't help that some of our guys we got for scoring disappear for long stretches. Hall is strictly iso and he is hot and cold. He has 6 points late in the 2nd half of this game tonight. We have no offensive threat with the front line like we did last season either.

The defense...looking at you Steven Pearl, Mr Defensive coordinator...is straight up awful most of the time.

He's a 2 in college, but any chance of the NBA is playing point, but its looking like he just isn't developing at a PG so that dream is fading.

I think everyone here knows he’s an off guard forced into being the ball handler.

Showed some heart here in the final minutes.

Once again, count up missed free throws and see where we would be hitting more.
