It's the funnest to play but sometimes watching baseball isn't much different than watching paint dry.

Pro yes, college no. If your sport can't at least produce one household name year in, year out, it sucks.

For the first time all year he was looking to score every time he touched the ball in the 2nd half. Dude has the complete skillset & last night I thought he got some confidence to do more than just hit open 3s or score off offensive rebounds. Excited to see what he does down the stretch


Also huge props to Davion Mitchell. Dude struggled big time for a lot of this SEC schedule but seems to have settled down some recently & he hit some big shots there to really push AU ahead. Him & Harper being a 1-2 punch at PG is gonna be a lot of fun over the next 2 years

I'm most excited for Chuma after he gets some S&C + development.

I see Chuma developing into a more athletic version of Yante Maten. I think he has a lot of room to improve his "athleticism" and strength just by looking at him.

100%

He is very skilled with good size, but still has that undeveloped high school physique. Some strength training and plyometrics/agility training will go a long way for him.

As for Mitchell, he needs to improve his shot and learn how the refs call on ball defenders and he will be great too.

Chuma will have an NBA career if he can develop. Dude looks legit.

Edit: his ball handling will be the biggest difference to me. If he can develop those skills some more, he could be really special.

He has the highest ceiling of any currently eligible Auburn player.

So Tennessee is the only team left with a shot to stop us from cutting the nets down on March 3.

But, for that to happen, they have to sweep @Ole Missy-@Miss State-UGA and we have to lose all three to @UF-@Arkey-USC.

I'm not counting my chickens yet, but that's a helluva lot of dominoes to have to fall. Ole Missy ain't good but they have beaten UF and Bama at their own house and MSU is playing pretty good to close out the season, winning 6 of their last 8 including wins against TAMU, Bama, and Mizzou.

We need to win 1 or have UT lose 1 to gaurantee at least a shared title with UT (no tie breakers apply). A shared title would still give us a 1 seed in the SEC tourney, because the head to head tie breaker does apply to tourney seeding.

Ahhhh, my bad... I thought tie-breakers applied to the championship too.

We're gonna win another one anyway.
