Alabama and Auburn both hit 24 FGs each. They still won by 20. Auburn isn't that good (although they were really good today), the difference was just they had 42 FTs to our 19. They hit more FTs than we attempted. That's ridiculous. Then at the end they hit a couple of 3s, we gave up, and the floodgates opened. I'm not gonna blame this loss on just the refs or just our bad play, it was both. We just need to make sure to beat Auburn at home. If we get swept, Avery will be 1-3 against them. I'm pretty confident we will win at home though, we usually have a pretty good (sometimes sold out) crowd.

How many games of Auburn have you watched? From a talent perspective they are competitive w top 3 in the SEC, they just match that with a bottom 3 in inconsistency so they appear a lot worse they are.

After adjusting for home court bias, got to remember that Auburns style took advantage of the new whistle everything mentality while Alabama didn't. Auburn consistently drove the lane and pounded it inside while Alabama jacked up 3s and midrange shots. Don't forget too that Alabama bricked the front end of every 1n1.
