Keyshawn Hall is the first Auburn player to score 20 or more points in each of the first three games of the season since KT Harrell. He achieved this by scoring 28 points in the season opener, 25 in the second game, and 20 points against Wofford.

KT had 20, 20 and 24 to open the 2014/2015 season. Averaged 14 for that season.

I have zero information other than what I read on here and listen to on podcasts…

That said- is Drinkwitz at Missouri someone that is in the mix? His name seems to have popped up here and there.

I am neither for or against- just getting thoughts on whether Cohen is considering him.

Yeah- odd.

We still don’t guard the 3; fortunate they haven’t hit many.

SEC won’t allow AU to upset bammer if they can help it.

Today’s game was miserable because we lost- but only as much so because it was probably the best offensive game I can remembered against a team with a pulse. We finally utilized the weapons we acquired on offense. Costly mistakes (offsides come to mind) cost us at least 10 points.

Defense was a let down- but while I am no coach to tell you why technically speaking- it appeared it was a combo of Pavia being a great QB (he got the ball the receivers and scrambled incredibly well) and the VU offense running some things we weren’t expecting.

It is a one game sample- but certainly with the way we played tonight we wouldn’t be 4-6. We would certainly have a better record.

The next two games will be the full sample- if we play like we did tonight - we will beat Mercer and have a puncher’s chance to compete with the turds.

What are the board expectations for our record in the non-conference schedule?

We need to beware of the Peter Principle here. It has likely been the case in our last three hires.

All of the proposed candidates will come with risks and we need the choose the one that is the least likely to be getting promoted beyond their respective level of competence.

Last night was a combo of two things-

BC was hot shooting from 3 but AUs defense was about what it looked like against OSU. Which was parts confused on assignment, just plain porous at others and out of position on others. That has to get straight. We may not have the bigs we are accustomed to, but we have to get an identity there.

The Memphis game was different in that Memphis basically handed us the ball 23 times- we didn’t turn it over as much as they gave it up to us.

I do think this team will struggle defensively versus what we are used to seeing or with a defensive identity and will need to ensure we don’t have too many empty possessions so we can score to create separation. We can score but help us if and when we go through cold spells against physical teams in the paint.
