It’s a W, really nice 2nd half defense. The defense could be the difference in a few close games this season.

Was out of town and wasn't able to watch (or really follow) the game. Looking at the box score though:
1. The minutes seemed really evenly distributed among the 10, really like that.
2. Free throws, please tell me King and Kimble can be better. I'm not counting on Ngoy being over 50%.
3. So glad King and Freeman are on the floor.
4. 14 turnovers is not good but I'm not expecting that to be the norm with KO having 5.
5. Tahaad had 19 attempts! That dwarfs everybody else on the team and he only hit 6. And looking at some highlights, some of those 6 driving to the hoop were not gimmies to go in. I know he's gonna take his shots, it's just a matter of him having a 30% or 50% kind of night every game. It's just who he is.
Anyway, if the 10 can stay healthy, I like their chances to see March this season. Looking forward to watching tonight's game.

Eh, I’m glad the Tigers got a chance to play a quality top 25 team in bama and a respectable fsu. I think it’s meaningful for a squad that is predominantly new to play good teams in the preseason. Gives the team a taste of real competition and coaches a chance to evaluate the team against equal or better talent. Now Samford, I’ll give you, probably won’t mean as much.
Just a bad look but good on staff to immediately remove him for this. I'm with Jang, never really thought counting on Mantas was a good idea, just seemed to drag on too long for anything positive to happen. See some talk about Muschalek getting more minutes out of this? Maybe I missed his position but I thought Mantas was poised to be a SF? Anyway, I'm interested in getting King eligible to help the backcourt and Freeman healthy for the frontcourt. I don't know that this news changes my season outlook too much. Give me Tahaad, King, Kimbell, Overton, Williams, Olsen, Dowd, Freeman, Oboye and Ngoy and I'll watch it play out.

Between the crowd, players and coaches, it sure didn't feel like a "exhibition" game. I was sitting behind the AU bench and Steven inhaled Muschalek at one point with some colorful language for anyone within 100 ft to hear. Kimble got an earful as well more than once. Great atmosphere overall.
It doesn't need to be said but Nate Oats is easy to dislike. Aside from the post game altercation, the earlier scrum with Dowd for the rebound resulted in Nate not going over to separate players but target the AU players with his patented yelling and finger pointing to "go back to your bench" move.
I hated the phantom foul for Pettiford's 5th, that really hurt going down the stretch. Ngoy is going to struggle with a lot of minutes due to conditioning. Bukky is quickly realizing the SEC is different from the WCC but he's more agile than I thought for a 7 footer. Dowd is hustle in a bottle, love his motor. Haad is going to be Haad, up and down all year with his scoring droughts. Olsen has suprised me a little with his shooting, I hope he can settle in and provide a nice option for some outside shooting. Kimble looks like he will be in the dog house most of year with the way he plays. I don't know what to expect out of King if he gets a chance but like another option at guard because I don't know how much I trust Kimble. I really want to get Freeman on the floor. Both Freeman and King were very engaged with the team huddles...Mantas, not as much.

Do we expect to see Kolby King play? Any chance Owen Freeman gets cleared to play a few minutes?
And no Mantas..."The judge in Mantas Rubstavicius vs. NCAA has ordered an extension on his decision regarding a TRO, per court documents...So Rubstavicius will be unavailable for Auburn's exhibition against Alabama on Thursday".

quote:Do we think he stays for 2 years? I believe he was drafted by the Clippers in the 2nd round but they are fine with him playing at Auburn and treating him (as others have said) as "draft and stash player". Interesting situation but glad he's officially eligible now.
Got him for 2 years also!!
Anybody have a timeline on the decisions for the three in question: Mantas, Narcisse and King? Seems like something should be known soon considering they have first exhibition in about a week. We are at 13 schollys with all 3 eligible, sure would be nice to keep a deep bench.
Former Tiger Blake Burkhalter is getting called up by the Braves. Congratulations young man!

Am I seeing Kolby King and others are now ineligible after a ruling today? Sounds like he will have to file for a temp restraining order or injunction on this new ruling to gain eligibility. I wonder if he had already started that process in preparation for this outcome?

Maybe C. Williams is showing a better fit at the 3 so need another backup at the 2.

Did he get a scholarship?

Is having a nice start at the 3M Open. Tiled for 3rd at -7 after shooting a 64 in round one. Already started round 2 and even through 5 holes. Hope he can keep it up and have a good showing.
A partial War Ready roster is at it again in the TBT this year. They have joined up with Red Rose, a team from last year. Had their first game last night. Wendell scored the game winner and scored 24. It’s pretty terrible basketball but fun to see some former players.
Wow, well ok then Auburn...
quote:Jang, you know the answer...NIL, $$, donate...rinse and repeat. Between the darkness known as AU football and I'm sure promises to Golesh and SP needing funds to "improve" on his NIT trophy, Butch is probably asking for more NIL dollars but since "he's doing just fine" with what they give him, he's probably just out of luck this season. It stinks but so does NIL.
How can we put ourselves in line to hold onto or commits better is the question then.
I do wonder if LSU is printing money these days, they have spent a ton recently on new coaches, firing old coaches, buying new recruits and old ones. Good for them if they have the money but I don't see this being sustainable for college athletics overall.
