re: #tAuburnBasketball Thread

We have zero energy tonight.

Wondering if they thought they’d win just by showing up since they blew them out last time. Teams are going to keep guarding Coop this way until he proves he can beat them.

It’s one thing to have a bad shooting night, but you can’t combine that with playing with zero effort. Hope Bruce lights them up at half.

Right now teams are just focusing on him and no one else is stepping up. In the NBA he will have playmakers around him and more room to work, but with that said I still think he’s got parts of his game that are going to have to improve to go lotto this year.

His shot has to be more consistent, he has to learn to finish contested shots at the rim, and he isn’t strong enough to defend many nba guards right now. However, his ball handling, vision, and distribution are so elite, I think an nba team will prefer he improve on the rest in the nba instead of another year of college. I hope I’m wrong.

Defense is a mess tonight

I’ve got grad school class tonight so not able to watch but every time I check the score it seems like we’re down 8 points.

Obviously the score is disappointing but this thread is depressing to read. Maybe they’ll get it together in the final 10 minutes

Guys have gotta learn that if you let any team hang in there and build momentum then you can lose. It took us being down 15 in the second half for guys to start showing energy.

We just have no good ball handling option when Cooper has an off night or he's on the bench

Flanigan is simply forcing it and not letting the game come to him.
