Only having to play UK, LSU, and @Tenn once a piece is definitely favorable

If someone would show/tell me how our guards can drive the lane against your center (white Bill Russell), then I'd see a possibility, but otherwise....

Defend the perimeter arch well and we win by 10...

If we defend the 3 ball and our bigs stay out of foul trouble early we should win. It wouldn’t surprise me if we lose though but our depth depletes teams at the 8 minute mark. We will have our legs for 40 minutes with an 11 man roster it’s just a matter of defending that arc imo

I think we're better than UA and that unless they're particularly hot we're a bad matchup for them. But, I just don't like the setup with them coming off a loss and it seems like a pretty obvious spot to take a hit. They'll be up for it and they play well against good teams.

As for the ranking, I think it's fair but it's a little preemptive and based on beating UA on the road. If we lose they'll drop us back to 10 or so. If we win out through UK we should be #2 at worst, although I'm not sure if that would happen or not.


I don't count on this Alabama team for anything. I can't expect them to suck - they'll beat Gonzaga and Houston - and I can't expect them to be good - they'll lose to Missouri.

We look like a team that could make the final four and like a team that could be bounced in the first round.

He got into foul trouble Saturday and missed some minutes.

Auburn has the best mix of talent, balance, depth and effort in the country right now. Damn it.

The way I look at it, we only have 7 more opportunities to lose in conference.

For a few minutes you did. That was odd.

It was great. It reminded me back when Jim Harrick Jr. was still a professor and we tried to give a shite about all sports, not just football.

I think Kessler staying out of foul trouble is the key.

I guess UGA hoops fans are about in the same boat as Missouri hoops fans. They want their coach gone. Is Crean on thin ice? One would think this is his last hurrah. Cuonzo pulled off a big win vs. Bama Saturday, but his team ain't going to shoot 38% from 3 very often.

And that center Keesler is a damn beast. Bruce got the shite together this year for sure.

His foul trouble helped Florida a good bit in the second half.

Hopefully he can stay clear of it for the Alabama game. Alabama has a ton of talent and I expect them to play on fire for this one.

Idk if I've ever seen someone piggyback off the success of a player in their career more than Crean has with Dwayne Wade. I don't see any scenario where a teenager sees and hears Crean then goes "That's the man I wanna play for"
