Somebody in charge of, say, the Auburn men’s basketball team should probably do something about that.

We’ve got a very good PF and solid C coming in next year (the C was supposed to be here this year but had a Visa issue IIRC). I’m with you though that center is going to be a very important position for Bruce. He’s shown he can identify and land good shooters, we need him to find some big bodies now.

We should still go 4-1 over the next 5.

We should, but would anyone be shocked if we have a cold night in Vandy’s weird gym and MS State goes off?

Not at all

The good thing about basketball is that this team can still do big things. Just play well enough to make the tourney and make a run or make a run in the conference tourney. It’s unlikely with how this team has been playing, but it’s not out of the question. Maybe they can find what they had to start the year.

Cold shooting night mostly because Ole Miss had a great game plan and executed.

Ran us off the 3 point line and drained shots at very end of possession over and over.

It was not our night.

We also had more turnovers than usual.

I made the comment last week that we were not getting better but playing worse. All those big games we got moral victories in were early in the season.

The later pare of this season has sucked all out. We are not getting better but worse. The team is still ver disorganized, not playing with any heart and look like 5 guys and a ball.

IF you are looking for this team to stand up and do something great all the sudden, I think you are going to be disappointed. They may beat someone they shouldn't but overall they are done


And 5 years may not be long enough to build a dynasty but it is long enough to construct a team and win games you should win. This team cant beat anyone good on any consistent basis

Last year they had a chip on their shoulder and desired to prove everyone wrong. This year seems like they just kinda expected to win games without having that fire in their belly they had last year.

Maybe we should dump Bruce and beg Barbee for his forgiveness and give him his old job back.

I agree to an extent. It appeared this team could’ve found something during that last home stretch. They were playing better. They were moving, attacking the basket and creating open threes. Too bad that play didn’t last.

We should. Because that is exactly what everyone is wanting and talking about

And then there are older guys who are more critical of Auburn coaches that have to do more with way, way less and incredibly supportive of other Auburn coaches who do way less with much, much more.

Do teams normally score more than 6 points in the first 5 minutes?
