Traveling cross country 2 days before the game? Yeah I'd consider it surprising. I'd figure if anything he'd be flying in tonight and out after we lose

Wouldn't be shocked if enough big money donors are in CA already to justify him flying out early

I just think we aren't use to an AD that shows general interest in our teams



Considering how long it has been since we made the tournament, good move from Greene to show some extra support.

Watching Trayvon Reed in the Texas Southern game, guy doesn't play hard for rebounds at all

Jacobs was always present but didn't make noise by appearing in pictures with the team or anything

The two 3-pt attempts by McElmore leap immediately to my mind


Just a reminder that McLemore ended the season as AU's #1 3FG% player in conference play at 44.4%

Everyone bitching about him shooting early this season can suck it

Maybe he wants to go to SD because it’s beautiful

From Mark Murphy's basketball notes today

quote:

*Looking at the big picture for the Auburn program from what I have been told by people who should know, the relationship with the AU administration and Bruce Pearl/staff has warmed considerably. I won't be surprised if this isn't the first of multiple consecutive trips to the NCAA Tournament for the Tigers with Pearl leading the way.

At this point, I'm pretty sure Bruce Pearl is about as untouchable as you can be unless some explosive evidence or FBI arrest warrant turn up

Oh I know, but he would never do something like go to the san diego zoo with them. He was present, but almost purely as a business reason it seemed. It was just rare to see him actually spending time with the team. I'm not knocking him for this, there are definitely different approaches. I just like seeing an AD that is willing to do something like that.

Maybe they found out Bryce Brown is back on the team instead of his evil twin Bryck.

-1 to 1.5

Opened at -1 at most Vegas books and has mostly adjusted to us. A lot of the 1's have increased vig for Auburn in offshores. Nice surprise. Still not expecting anything, but oddsmakers make people look like idiots all the time. I'm just amazed that the money isn't coming in on Clemson.

I mean no nonUK SEC team has a tournament appearance streak >2 right now

While it sounds obvious, making multiple consecutive streaks isn't some guarantee

Great article from Jeff Shearer on Mack McGadney who played for AU 16 years ago.

Also, today is Bruce Pearl's birthday
