Well ... "should" ...

Our MO has been beat the good teams and then shite the bed against subpar teams. So, who knows what the frick will happen.

Good luck Auburn. I have a feeling we'll lose our first game in the big tourney and will be cheering you on as you advance.

Losing McLemore hurts big time, he was having such a good year. Spencer needs to step it up and avoid the fouls. Easy to say so time will tell.

I expect a full, rowdy house and hope for a good injury free game. Football trophy presentation at the half with the players and coaches will add to the frenzy.

Normally at home I'd say no way, but without McLemore, all bets are off tonight.

I think it's a little unfair to paint us that way although I understand why. Mizzou was on a 3 game losing streak before beating us in T-town so we looked bad. But, I thought Mizzou played a great game. It wasn't just us playing poorly. They then went on a 5 game winning streak before a 1 point loss to LSU in BR. We've since won 5 in a row and then lost a close one to UK in Rupp arena (close for about 38mins). I think we are playing very good right now and its going to take a lot for ANY team to beat us.

Playing at home will help but without McLemore it’s going to be tough. If the 3’s aren’t falling and we have an awful FT shooting night we probably lose worse than we did in Tuscaloosa.

A couple of weeks ago, oddsmakers gave Alabama an 18 percent chance of winning this game. Don't know what the point spread was, but I do remember seeing that stat. Obviously, that has changed.

I hope they lose.


Don't even know who they're playing.
Don't care.

I’d be shocked if we won at Auburn. We have road losses at Vandy and Ole Miss.

Agreed....if Bama is hot then they have a chance otherwise they're average and playing on the other fella court isn't going to help.

Beat Bama........that is what the sign says

No we shouldn't. It's a road game against a really good team. Contrary to popular belief most of our games the last month have been relatively similar.

Pearl will have a scheme to nullify the loss of their shot blocker. I'm not convinced we can really take advantage of it as Auburn will have no problem baiting us into running and shooting jumpers.

Should be a fun game, but I don't expect us to win, though it is hard to develop expectations with Auburn's new lineup.

I wasn't concerned till Anfernee went down. Not that bama couldn't win, but I didn't expect it in Auburn after we lost to them earlier in the year. Now I'd say my thoughts are 60/40 maybe even 65/35 Auburn wins.

As mentioned I really don't know what to expect.

I expect Bruce to bait us into running and playing Auburn's game (which is also our game a lot of the time).

I don't really trust us to be mentally tough enough to force the issue in the paint on the road. I think we will let ourselves fall into the run and gun trap.

Who knows, it will entertaining though.

Getting those excuses lined up in case they're needed, I see.

Yea, it's not like losing our tallest player (when we are already one of the nation's shortest teams) who also happens to be the conference's leading shot blocker should have any impact at all.

Jackass.

Auburn's gonna whip that arse tonight anyways.

Bama is terrible on the road. Auburn would have to meltdown for Bama to have a chance.
