It was short, but I wanted to add the score of AU/Mercer doesn't reflect how tight it was. Auburn has yet to play a game as a "team". I expect Arkansas to pull out a 3-6 point win, which will be solid.

I'll be pretty disappointed if we win by that slim of a margin. We've won by 20+ against better teams the last two games.

Without a post presence, AU won't make the tournament this year. I do expect an NIT bid, but it will take another season for Pearl to make the dance. Unlike Arkansas, AU hasn't really progressed as a unit.

Absolutely no television, which pisses me off.

You're underestimating Mercer. They'll play tough. I don't think your past 2 were better teams, at least not once final RPIs are completed.

Yea, our bigs have been coming along the past couple of weeks.

Moses Kingsley is still here. He has had quite a few double doubles this season and averages just under 16 ppg and 9.9 rpg. Trey Thompson, who is 6'9" has improved as the season progressed. He was out for a couple weeks a while back though, which I felt hurt the team. Then we have Willy Kuassi, who transferred in this season and actually started his career at Auburn. He actually has really looked good lately. I think each one of those bigs is getting used to their roles on the team.

That is a big thing with Anderson...players have roles and they must adapt to them.

I think Evansville is a better team IMO. Especially with everything they returned from their team last season.

Auburn will get better as the year goes on, but that lack of a post game will start to tell heavily once SEC play begins I think.

I like the progress our post players have made this season but against a solid, all around, team I worry quite a bit. I think, and hope, that we will finish with a vaguely decent season... something that quite a few SEC teams are shooting for this year.

This season just needs to be okay to bridge last season to next season with our talented recruiting class coming in.

We will be pretty good again next season. Should be better with an in shape Anton Beard this season.

I thought the SEC network was supposed to televise every game in some format? If not, that should change. Cut into everyone's profits a tad to bring us all of the games.


This is my beef.

I could have watched this online through our website two years ago.
