If they made an "Auburn Jam" edition of that game, you couldn't pull me away from it

I remember hearing that Brown/Mustapha were getting on each other pretty hard after the Barry exhibition loss. I was a little worried about the chemistry then, but Heron/Brown appear to work extremely well together on the court right now


My statement had nothing to do with Heron and Brown and their chemistry. Where in the world did you get that?

You were talking about Mustapha sometimes being lazy coming off of screens and all I did was wonder if that was who Bruce was yelling at during the SEC Inside episode where someone didn't do well coming off a screen during practice.

Simmer down cuz I think he was implying that Heron’s lackadaisical play might have been the point of contention with Bryce earlier

We are ten point favorites over Kentucky but I read the bottom line and Kentucky has three first round NBA prospects. Unusual.

So Bruce was filmed going around the student Union plus talking with organizations about spring sports not basketball

Pretty cool that he does this even when we are top 10 and our own support is as good as it gets

I hope we win by 40. I want to break then in the first half and shove it down their throats

Make a statement for national TV

Yep. Even if this UK team isn't your usual UK team, beating them soundly on this stage would carry weight.

I just hope we win. Kentucky might be down but they still have the athletes and are still very dangerous.

Last time Auburn fans thought we would beat Kentucky in Auburn and it was a down KY team, Nerlins Noel styled all over us

I have no expectations going into this one.

Thought I'd let people know that if McElmore is about to take 2nd place in 3FG% for this team

I clench every time he lets one loose because of his shooting motion, yet he hits them.

I love it man, cause it is literally just him being the hardest working guy on the team. That dude couldn't shoot a lick when he got here last year. He's the first guy in, last guy out player that every coach dreams of.

Might have been his best game last night. Was ripping down crucial late rebounds & helped get us going twice when we were getting stagnant on offense. Love watching him play

Had 4 down the stretch to close it out and shut the paint down with authority. Big reason UK couldn't buy a basket in the final 5 minutes or so.

Also need to give Horace Spencer some credit for his early game hustle.

Spencer was in on nearly every loose ball and rebound that denied UK the chance to build from our 1/16 shooting start

Horace getting in foul trouble hurt us last night. 3 of his 4 fouls were just boneheaded too. We need him in there against these types of teams.

Last night had to have been our worst bench outing of the season.

Spencer plays so hard every night. He can be sloppy & frustrating at times but his effort is always there. Seems like every game there's a period in time where he makes a crucial defensive play or gets a big rebound that helps propel a run


I genuinely like every guy on this team. They can be frustrating at times but all 9 guys usually find ways to contribute. The fact we don't rely solely on one person for everything is such a change from past AU teams. I love it
