re: Mizzou

Blouses.

So Auburn will play Tennessee on January 25, the same night of the planetary alignment.

Is this a sign? I think so.

A planetary alignment on January 25, 2025? If you’re on social media at all, by now you might have seen the breathless announcements of a planetary alignment on January 25, 2025. A flurry of videos and memes is claiming that all eight planets will be in a line on one side of the sun and visible in our nighttime sky. Is it true? Nope. Why January 25? We have no idea. But there will be six planets in our evening sky throughout January. And yes, they’re in a line … like always.

Several things to work on but the 16 turnovers were especially bad

Positives: It’s a win. Yea, can’t really think of much.

It’s ok to be honest, that was bad game. Mizzou is not a good team, they’ll be lucky to win 8 SEC games. Auburn looked like a high school team the last 9 minutes of the game. Hope Pearl tears them a new one and clean up the sloppy play or Texas will beat us down. Just really disappointed right now. Watched Tennessee cream Arkansas and looking like a legit national contender while we looked like we would maybe be a top 20 team. Auburn sports are just frustrating to watch so many times.

For fricks sake.

I respect your knowledge of basketball but there are no perfect teams or perfect games.

Win and move on in the conference. Nothing more nothing less.

You win by double digits in conference and still have enough to bring to the players attention in the film room and practice court.

We don’t rebound “great” because we contest the ball on every shot with a block.

I don’t think we have hit a wall at all. Pettiford, Howard, and miles Kelly still can get better in aspects of the game. If Kelly gets to where he is going to the rim and taking contact instead of trying to glide by the defender he will get to 70ish percent on the drive and also collect 3-4 fouls a game. You have to over play the 3 so much with him.

So there’s a difference in being happy just to win, like teams who are not really supposed to win and have no expectations, and then teams like Auburn where this was always an expected win and should have been a 25-30 point blowout, but only winning by 16. Also, getting dominated on the boards against one of the worst offensive rebounds rebounding teams in the conference and turning the ball over 16 times. Championship caliber teams don’t play like that against mediocre teams at home. I would be more forgiving if this was an away game, but this shouldn’t have happened.
I know there are no perfect games, but you also can’t play like this at home, it’s becoming a trend with this team, get up big and decide not to play for the play 9 minutes of the game. Can’t continue to get away with that now that we are in conference play.

We play like that against Texas and it’s a bloodbath for us.

Commentator for the Bama / OU game just said Auburn was the most likely SEC team to get to San Antonio.

Kelly is hurt, you can tell. It’s a wrist injury, so that’s going to bother him for the rest of the year more than likely. Pettiford is consistent at least and we need him to continue to play like he has been.
As for hitting a wall, I think kind of have. Looks like this team is not really engaged and just going through the motions in the second half. Again, I have expectations of this team and I know we have potential to be special, but playing like this in our first conference game that was at home against an overmatched opponent was just disappointing to look at to say the least.

Yeah we got out to 26 and just let off the gas. The guys were mainly trying to make highlight plays. Quite a few tricky passes made to try to get fast breaks and alley oop slams that were turnovers instead.

We played well to get out to that lead then just got bored it seems like.
