Harper, Brown and OKeke were all special offensive players.

We are trying to force the ball inside.
We do not have the shooting to open the middle.

I think we should empty the post and try to drive, but Wiley is one of our best options on offense.

This year is not last year.

I trust Coach Bruce Pearl will find a way to get this team to play better on the road.

No, attack with a full post and dish or get fouled, that's going to be AU's best option, just attack at the rim.

Harper is balling and Okeke is rehabbing. Even Brown is putting up modest numbers in G league. There is a reason why we were so good last year. We could shoot lights out.

Now for the good news: Shariffe and the white dude (can’t remember his name) can shoot. Help is on the way.

I’m melting but...

Bruce isn’t gonna find a way to make this team play better on the road because J’Von and Samir aren’t good enough. This is a gonna be a Gus like team that wins against teams they should and gets worked by anyone with talent because our offense will absolutely go in the garbage against a team with athletic guards. We certainly aren’t a good enough shooting team to overcome the lack of playmaking ability.

Sharife is a very good shooter. Powell is elite. Hope he can do enough other good things to stay on the floor

There’s a reason we came into this season saying transition year and tourney would be great

Also, Purifoy is definitely not a miss and Turbo might not be.


Huge miss. The talent is there we just never got it out of him consistently for whatever reason.

3-11 fg today for Purifoy

So a guy that was instrumental in us making a Final Four is a miss. Nope.

Wish you guys would just ignore the resident retard. This is same guy who has called Purifoy and a freshman misses, yet acts Alex Reese is some elite player.

Purifoy is gonna end up averaging around 20-25 mpg on 3 teams that averaged around 23-25 wins in his career. He has had a good career and it’s weird you are attacking him for his game today when he played about as well as anyone on our team lol

Jeff Goodman is going after Auburn fans on twitter now. I knew he would be puffing out that chest once he could.
