Let him lift whatever he wants we won a tourney game

Probably hurt his shoulder again lifting his arms.

I blame Anfernee McClemore.

Shut up. We made it past the first round in a tourney we haven’t sniffed in forever.



Tired of this narrative. Some of us have been big basketball fans before then.

So you've seen us not even play in the tournament since before then too?

That game blows, but we still are in RD2. We get another shot Sunday

Congratulations. We have sucked arse for quite a while. The narrative is fine. We are showing steady progress. Considering majority of our star power is hurt or ineligible I think we are fine.

I'm not sure the aftermath of Valentines weekend makes being here that much better than not making the tournament for me all those years. Cringeworthy. Kills me watching them play like this. Putting smiles on everyone's faces that dogged us after the injury instead of offering sympathies. We're finally here, but it's not enjoyable so far.

Hell yeah I've been a big fan of this program for a long time. But damn I also realize the significance of getting to the 2nd round.

I feel like if you've been a huge fan of this program for a long time you'd truly appreciate how far we've come

Yeah, I can appreciate the win for what it is, but if someone thinks that they can make me pretend that it was ENJOYABLE, they can think again.

The game itself wasn't enjoyable. I think we all can agree there. But the outcome, hell yes I will enjoy it.

Didn't say anything about appreciation. That's for after the tournament. Should be the conference favorite next year. The happy thoughts left the building on Sunday. Just want them to find something within and play with their heads glued on to end their season. Everybody's laughing at us.

We won. Brown and Harper both hit big shots late in the game. As ugly as it was if we shoot FT’s even close to our normal clip we win by double digits.

Why does that matter? We are still in the tournament. That game sucked but we found a way to win. Arizona, Wichita State and Miami would all have loved to have won a shitty game like we just did


Enjoy tonight & rest of this weekend. It's been awhile since we've been in this position & it's a big step for our program no matter how bad it looked

When you're not legitimized in college basketball, you get shamefully screwed out of making it in years like 2009. Everybody looks at you like you're Penn St. Look at how unjustly glorified Gonzaga and Wichita are.

UVA looks awful... lost one of their better players this week in practice. This is just college basketball...

We just gotta calm the F down and play our game... hopefully we got all the junk out of our system tonight.

But beating Charleston by 30 would not have moved that needle either. You do that by being a contender every year. AU has taken that first step this year by winning SEC and now winning a tourney game. One win away from Sweet 16. The game was horrible and I wished we looked better but I'm not gonna worry too much about what ppl think about how we won that game. Nobody remembers how bad you looked in a round 1 win a year from now. They do remember if you lose that game

You legitimize yourself by making runs and consistently making the tournament

Nobody gives a shite about margin of victory, just that you won

Is there an Auburn fan alive that would not have taken an SEC championship, a first round win, 26 wins, no more than 8 losses and still playing in the tourney?
