The easiest 3 game stretch of the season and we may lose them all.

If you lose to Missouri and Georgia... is there a chance Auburn doesn't win any more regular season games?



I mean, UGA is the worst SEC team so its possible.

No offensive flow. No ingame adjustments by Pearl. Street ball out there waiting for someone to take over. Bruce counting on Wiley is just a joke. He is not reliable. Doughty struggled. Defense is terrible...

We should not be this bad.

I mean it's about as good an option as running a play for someone to brick the open look


If you can't shoot and can't make layups, you're not going to do well on offense

That is on him. Team sucks at fundamentals. Cant shoot free throws, do layups and the passing is even terrible at times


4 seniors on the court and they still play like shite

I mean, he was wide open. It's not like it's any worse than any of the rest of our team throwing up brick after brick from three.

He was probably wide open for a reason. The trajectory of the shot confirmed it was a good decision.

Exactly, Bruce isn’t bricking the open shots. We get looks but cannot finish.

We very much rely on getting to the foul line. If the refs aren’t calling things tightly, we will lose.

Second worse... but yeah

Flip side is that this team has also beaten UK and LSU so for all we know they could make another run to the Sweet 16 or better

Severely limited seniors but seniors nonetheless.

It was a stupid shot. He was 0-1 from 3 all year long before that shot and we were only down 5 late in the game. Stupid shot.

He played like a freshman late. IIWII

I mean, I know you would take it that way but am I wrong?

Team has zero offensive flow. No defensive flow. Cant do basic things like shoot free throws or make decent passes.

A big portion of our wins have come from outstanding performances. Not by great play. At some point, one of you needs to break the pact and say it. You dont need me to say it.

We are too deep into the season for some of these mistakes. We are at the top of the SEC and just got run off the court by the worst team in the SEC and one of our biggest rivals. Piss poor like it or not

The team that was out there tonight is a one and done. They are not making a run at anything.


Edwards basically beat us by himself. I was surprised not to see them take him out and make someone else beat us

Correct, but that’s not the team we will see in the tourney.

He’s probably going #1 or 2 in the draft. You don’t just take a player like that out of a game, especially with your best defender out.

ETA: I’m not disagreeing with you that we should be better than what we are seeing, FYI.

We really aren’t. We have still over-achieved up to this point. A lot of that was due to Okoro and “luck.”

We have seniors that are better fit to be role players. See last year when they were all backups or front running with our studs.

We have inexperienced TF and a Godsend in Okoro.

We have nothing in the middle due to recruiting restrictions.

We cannot shoot 3s. We cannot effectively drive or feed inside.
