I thought we had a chance against them at home. We kept it close. Our D wasn't good in the 2nd half, but they made some crazy shots. They were over 50% from 3. They are better than we are. I hope we can keep it competitive in Tuscaloosa.

Our guards played much better on offense, but their D in the 2nd half wasn't good at any level.

UNC/Duke....UNC had 1 foul in the whole 2nd half.

Not one team I wanted to win won yesterday...
Way too High and My Meridian are my 2 fav Muscadine Bloodline songs.
We don't have a PG on the roster. Pettiford is a tiny 2.

A true PG and a true big man have to be added for next year.
Guard play lost this one. The shooting was dreadful. We had a shot and we missed wide open shots.

Then we had a phantom foul.

Gotta beat Alabama.
Good win last night. Not a fan of the way Texas plays. They are rough and 8 is a flopping machine.

Didn't play very well in the first half, but the 2nd half was really good. Texas and Auburn are both meh 3 point shooting teams so of course both were lights out last night.

Hall and Overton were both pretty elite.

Next 4 are gonna be tough. If we can split them we're cooking. Gotta win at least 1.

@UT
Bammers at home
Vandy at home
@Arky

Things get a bit easier down the stretch.
Need this one. Won't be easy.

This would put us at 14-7 and 5-3.
Probably. I love a lof of his stuff...but I saw him live once and was bored to death.

My youngest is a Sr and it doesn't matter to me really, but I do feel sorry for some of the smaller 5A schools who will now have to play in area/regions with schools twice their size.

Huge win. Didn't watch, but it seems Hall was unstoppable for a half.

Looks like Murphy was really good.

Looks like Overton has a good all around game.

We shot our FT really well.

Defense has really improved! That's encouraging.

Need to get Texas this week. @UT gonna be tough, but they aren't great. Alabama @home is gonna be huge. Then Vandy and @Arky. Whew.



Had to have that one. Shooting from 3 was unreal bad again, but did well at the line and took care of business.

This weekend could be and likely will be ugly.

Gotta flush that and get Texas at home next week.
Pettiford is 7-41 from 3 over the last so many games.

That gets you benched on a team that has other guards. We unfortunately don't have any other guards.

Hall was dreadful last night.

We went 2-19 from 3. No clue how we won.

We're 11-7 overall and 2-3 in conference.

The next 5 games are not going to be rainbows and unicorns.

@Ole Miss
@Florida
@home vs Texas
@Tennessee
@home vs Alabama

Gotta get that Ole Miss game. Florida will beat us by a lot. Texas at home will be a problem. They aren't very good, but very athletic. Tennessee isn't very good, but they are big and will beat us there for sure. I don't think we can stay on the floor with Alabama, but I hope I'm wrong. They will out guard us and I don't mean defense. They have some of the best guards in the nation. Too we couldn't get them on campus.

Must win 2 of those to have any shot at the tourney.

Steven might not get a very long leash here. This team is very flawed. Can't speak to the coaching quite yet.

My biggest issue with Bruce and now this team is why do we have not 1 PG on the roster. Why are we playing a walkon? Why do we not have a 5? It just makes no sense. I could see this coming as soon as I watched the exhibition games. It's a terrible roster.

Next year they better get at least a PG and a C. One of each at least...or Steven is going to get run off.

Guard play is atrocious. You can't win w/o good guard play. Pettiford is unplayable on a better team. He's awful.
Just realized that they only had 1 player that played any real minutes that was over 6'6".

Mercy me. What a mess.
Not sure on aTm's roster. I didn't know many of those kids. I wish we had gotten Lane. He would have helped.

Their style of play is going to give teams who don't have a solid guard play fits.

Our roster is made up of a bunch of 2's and 3's. We have a 4 or 2 as well. We have zero 5's and zero 1's. It's a huge problem. It was evident in game 1.

I understand Jovic is hurt now as well?
If Auburn had an adequate PG on the roster, we win that game by 10 or more.

I want to blame the coach, but who's he going to put out there to handle the ball? We don't have anyone.

I turned the game off with about 5 minutes left and went to bed. That collapse was awful, but I felt it could happen because we just don't have a guy that can get the ball and settle things down and get a bucket.

That will likely prevent us from making the tourney.

It's been a great run, but roster building must be much better next year or Steven is gonna be in trouble.
Not sure our O can overcome our atrocious D. This D won't be fun on the road in the SEC. We gotta score score score.
Maybe?

This year was going to be a mess no matter who coached though.

Many of you have already said it, but our permiter D is not good, but our D at the rim is non-existent. The past 3 or so years we've been really good there and now it's awful.

On offense we don't have a facilitator. We also don't shoot well from the outside. We also don't have an inside guy to go to.

We will be fine with favorable matchups Big teams will destroy us as they already have. This likely won't get better.

Our biggest issues are on Defense and I don't think we can fix them.

We are going to have to score score score.

Not having a rim protector is a huge issue. Not having at least one or 2 permiter defenders who can disrupt an offense is also a huge issue.

Not having a true PG not only hurts you on offense, but also makes defense an issue.

I think we shoot too many 3's with the personnel we have, but I don't watch practice so maybe we shoot 45% in practice?

I will be pleased if we get to 20 wins and a bid to the tournament.
