They went cold because Pearl changed the tempo of the game. Wanted to slow it down to reserve energy. Don’t read too much into it.


I agree with this 100%. Auburn could have scored 100+ on Kansas but for what? That first game against NMST taught us a lot about conserving energy.

UNC will be a fun game and a hell of a challenge. I feel our guards can play with them even with the size advantage they will have. It should be interesting to see how Bruce decides to play UNC.

I don't know for sure that we didn't heavily recruit Garrison Brooks but I wish we could have gotten him. His mom was at Auburn when I was and I know she LOVES AU like we all do.

Someone mentioned it last night but Kansas came out the second half shooting well, 6-6 and had 16 points within 5 min.

But Auburn scored I think like 5-5 for 15.

When you're up by 26 at the half and you've got to get up because you know they're going to come out punching, thats hard. So it was a really impressive performance by auburn at that important moment, maybe they are final 4 quality

While i expect UNC to win, I wouldn't be so quick to assume they will win.


UW plays the Syracuse 2-3 zone, arguably better than Syracuse this year. UNC wasn't great vs Syracuse this year despite playing at home. UNC isn't filled with shooters and can be turnover prone. It could get interested
