Being in the same boat as UGA basketball this season should not comfort anyone.

I thought Avery had promise. Unless he can turn the Titanic around he should be let go at the end of the season. This team is bad


They show flashes of being a good team, but then go out and lay eggs like last night's second half. This team was never going to compete for the SEC Championship, but there's no excuse for last night.

I've said it a few years now - when his teams are shooting the ball well, Avery is a good coach. When they're not, he is just terrible. No defensive adjustments to try and get easy baskets, leaves certain players in the game that have terrible shot selection, no energy.

He just took you to your second NCAA bid in 12 years, won a game. You guys need to sign him to a long term contract.

Old Timers Thought: I miss Wimp and Sonny, basketball was fun in the state.

I saw the halftime score and thought it was definitely over. Check back later on and they lose. Pretty awful coaching job by Avery.

Blowing a 21 point halftime lead to Georgia State is pretty impressive.

Same here, glanced at the score and figired it was a typical blowout of a cupcake. His name is Avery.

Georgia State destroyed Georgia a few weeks ago.

They have a decent BBall program.

What has Byrne done to ellicit such high praise as an AD? I don't follow y'all's AD at all, so I'm genuinely curious.

I would just like to see both AU and AL have good basketball at the same time.

I admit, I thought Avery was a big name and would do pretty well. But it seems the second half collapse is something the fans are getting used to now.

When this year's Arkansas is in the top 5 of the conference, the conference ain't good.

Auburn is top 10 and some of my most hated SEC schools suck balls and are embarrassing themselves. What's not to like?

I loved watching Pearl coach that team. But unlike football, the SEC brand in basketball is meh this year, and them sucking hurts us too, I think.

Hoiberg doesn't like to recruit, and I'm not sure the south has the kind of gym rats with high ball iq that Hoiberg can find in the Midwest.



White Guys... the south doesn’t have the white guys who are good at basketball.

It wasn't so much the collapse, but how they collapsed. Horrible shooting because they failed to adjust to Ga State's defensive halftime adjustments, same shitty players getting significant playing time, lazy defense, etc. In all of his bad losses since he got here, it's the same damn formula over and over. Throw in horrible free throw shooting, especially down the stretch.
