We have a team full of athletes but not any shooters.

Yes! We are last year’s Oklahoma City Thunder team.

Yeah. And even our best shooter (Johnson) had an airball so bad today it could have killed a small child

That game wasn’t even watchable. I cannot stand the crappy body language by Purifoy and J’von. Show some damn chest ffs.

we definitely have some deficiencies. We don't have a go-to scorer. Our FT shooting is horrendous. Doughty should be a leader but he has absolutely disappeared the last month......except when he is throwing the ball either to the other team or in the third row.

I am hoping some of the freshmen improve greatly by the end of the year. Cambridge shows flashes every now and then. At other times he looks like a baby giraffe. Flanigan is in the same boat.

2 blowouts in a row, in SEC play.

Our team looks fat, dumb and lazy.

I hope we can turn it around.

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



But how is our Kevin Huerter's injured leg and back?

Not time to panic, Auburn had a rocky regular season last year as well.

Yeah. Made the final four after being told by the same weird countrywide Auburn basketball hate club reveling right now to stop being happy about our run in '17-18 because the regular season 'didn't matter.'

Yep the problems now are mostly terrible shooting. That can change on a whim. Guys just need to get out of their heads.

The game just needs to slow down for them. A lot of things felt rushed over last 2 games

Basketball fandom is a rockier ride than football fandom regardless of who the coach is for either sport. I’ve always tried to warn football heavy fans haha

We went through a funk last year too. Same issue. Players trying to do too much instead of playing through each other and sharing the ball. We'll be alright but it's hard to watch in the meantime.

We've known we had issues and we knew we would struggle some...give them some time to see if they grow through it.

The goal pre-season was to make the tourney the goal is still in reach.
