And if the season didn't get real enough against the Agroids, look out.  Auburn is Pomeroy #1, has the most efficient offense in the country, and defends relentlessly.  It shoots well from everywhere on the floor, doesn't get turned over, rebounds very well on both ends.

Shedrick, Kent, and Onyema need to play out of their minds tonight against Broome and Cardwell.  If we have no inside game and don't rebound several degrees of intensity better than we did against A&M, then we are toast.  We have lost 3 games.  We lost to tOSU because we couldn't hit threes but it could.  We lost to UConn because UConn doubled us in offensive rebound %.  A&M beat us by 20 because it doubled us in offensive rebounding %, we couldn't hit threes, and we couldn't stop A&M in the paint.  That made for a lot of things we needed to fix in two days. 

Meanwhile, our next opponent, #1 in the polls Tennessee, will be in Gainesville tonight. 

The last time we hosted the Pomeroy #1 team, we were hosed by a bogus blocking foul near the end of regulation when one of our guy's chests was guilty of being in the way of Shead's extended forearm. 

Belt to ass incoming for us. Gonna stay that way until we get a legit basketball coach.

Also had a patented Tyrese Hunter turnover where he jumped in the air for no reason when we were holding for the final shot in a tie game.

Over/Under: 5 wins the rest of the season?

I'll take the over.  Baring a huge injury, we'll have at least 5 wins in conference before the start of March.  

Auburn by 17'ish 

 

Bruce Pearl brining the 5.0 into Moody 

Auburn has scored 74 or more in every game this season ... 85 on UNC, 83 on Iowa State, 78 in loss to Duke, 90 on Memphis, 91 on Ohio State, 87 on Purdue and 84 on Missouri Saturday.

Averaging 88 PPG ... a Bruce Pearl team that averages 80+ is a scary team IMO. Four guards combine to shoot 40'ish from three. Left PG Pettiford is very good off bounce

Never fault anyone for being bullish.  

Also, misery loves company. Unlike the blue blood laden CFP, there's a lot of parity pain going around in hoops for schools that care...

We win tonight

Auburn's gonna beat us like a rented mule. I would say they maintain a 20-25 point lead until mop up time then still win by 15+.

Well this will be the third game for the entire roster to play together. 

go to bed early everyone.  rodney terry coached teams aren’t worth staying up that late against teams with talent

Texas is going to get a pissed off Tennessee team after that disaster of a 1H. Vols shot 4/29 FG and trail No. 8 Florida by 19 at the break.

Barnes team have a trend going back to Texas of having painfully awful shooting woes.

They aren't showing a whole lot of pissed offness in the second half.

I'll take a 200-0 win, but I'm bothered that we didn't have a single player do anything on our first possession to help a teammate get open.

Three offensive rebounds in the first 90 seconds.  Maybe they came to ball tonight.

Atmosphere is not awesome, Moody is.  Stadium music crew is still in 2009 rave mode.  Uggg.

Kaluma with six shots in the first 4:00 lol. 

Went 3-6.
