How does sec + work? I’m able to stream if I have ESPN cable subscription?

Yeah if you have a tv package that includes SECN (like YouTube TV, charter, sling, etc) then you can download the ESPN app and login to your tv provider through the setting menu.

Need to see him in a picture standing next to Sean White to really be able to accurately measure his height

Apologies for the poor formatting, it’s not carrying over from the article and tough to fix on my phone. Maybe just hit the link.

Directly after the volleyball game, Auburn basketball hosted a dunk contest and then an intrasquad scrimmage for fans to get a first look at Auburn basketball this year.
The Orange team was Auburn's scholarship players. The Blue team was the walk-ons and Stretch Akingbola and Dylan Cardwell alternating as their center.
Observations from the scrimmage:
Wendell Green can take over
I said it all summer long. Eastern Kentucky point guard transfer Wendell Green Jr. can take over games. He showcased a little bit of that on Friday.
He ended the scrimmage with 13 points, two assists and a rebound while shooting 4-of-8 from the floor and 2-of-4 from deep.
His threes we're from way downtown and he's not going to shy away from them.
He's also not going to shy away from the big moment. With the shot clock winding down or a buzzer-beater needed, Green will take a lot of those shots. He'll make his fair share of them, too.
Jabari Smith's mid-range game is nearly unstoppable
When Jabari Smith backs someone down in the paint or around the free throw line, bet on him to turn around and fade away. Bet on him to hit it, too.
Smith is the rare exception for Auburn. Pearl and co like to shoot a lot inside and from three. Not a lot of midrange. That'll change with Smith who should have the green light from anywhere on the court.

Mike Whitmore can play
Walk-on Mike Whitmore stole the show on Friday with 12 points, shooting 4-of-5 from three and knocking down a fadeaway buzzer-beating three to end the scrimmage.
His height is a weakness. Auburn has him listed at 5'10". If he's 5'10", I'm 7'0" (I'm really 6'1"). But if Auburn were to get in a pinch, he realistically could play.

Thanks for links and info - Here is the OA News' write up. Things look good. WE.
Jared Harper comparisons...? Hmmmmm.....grains of salt for now (with a few grains of sugar now and then).
ETA that I think Coach Bruce Pearl is a completely awesome representative for AU and I believe he truly cares...he loves Auburn and the feeling is very much mutual. Win-win-win-win for errybody. Thank you and love you Coach. War Eagle.
[quote]The Blue team raced out to an early 10-1 lead and was led by new walk-on Michael Whitmore, who hit four of his five 3-point attempts — including a buzzer-beater — Friday night. "Mike did a fantastic job for Blue," Pearl said of the 5-foot-10 Whitmore. "He's been great for our preparation because he's fast and he's quick and he's hard to stay in front of. We won't see a faster, quicker or smaller guard than Mike. ... Our scout team is good, now." Pearl said he and the team will have a lot to learn from the film of the scrimmage. He added that some of the Orange team's defensive struggles were "good to get out of our system" as the Tigers move closer to the start of the season. "I wanted to treat our fans and let them see the guys a little bit," Pearl said. "It's a Friday night before the Ole Miss football game. We wanted to get some more people out for volleyball. "And I really, truly wanted to show (the players) that, look, we're just OK when we play like that. So I got what I wanted. They know the difference. They've seen the difference. Hopefully they'll understand."[/quote]
ETA #? AU football still controls their own destiny to a national championship and we halfway through the season, and I can't get enough hoops info.. I am that excited. Is this the new normal or am I insane (tricky question)? Is AU now a fully legit football AND basketball school now? I am extremely conflicted. Help please.

With Allen out for a while, LOTS of these guys are get much more practice time, working on different combinations of guys, cross traing A LOT of guys from the 2 to 4, etc. Coach's upperclassman son, team leader and all=SEC preseason goes down and will be out...until he is not. Blessing in disguise, silver linings and that aside, If any starter (or significant quality player) had to go down with an injury at this juncture, logically and short-mid-longer term, and sorry if I sound like an a-hole, but better Allen than anyone else. We will all be better for it. Allen too, I think. Godspeed, get healthy and stay healthy. In the meantime, next men up and we got this. War Eagle.
