You just made my point for me.  If we're shooting 40%, we're playing well.  If we shoot 20%....well, you know...we're not playing well.

We were 18-59 (30.5%) overall, and 3-20 (15%) from the arc against Tennessee.  The Vols are great defensively, but we just plain shot it poorly. 

A few weeks ago, we probably run these last two teams out of the gym. But, we are in a bit of a funk recently shooting the rock.  The great thing is that we are so solid in other areas, we can still weather the storm and win most of these.

These are all salient points.
With what we have upcoming, every SEC opponent is gunning to take down #1.
Our stroke needs to return quickly so we can have some games that are not a 40 minute struggle.
In the past we would crumble. But these guys just turn up the defensive heat when the offense is slumping.

Five statements of WISDOM
1. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity, by legislating the wealth out of prosperity.

3. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.
4. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.
5. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friends, is the beginning of the end of any nation.

Damn it, keep that loose change in your pocket.  People are slipping and sliding all over the court.  That could easily cause a team to get boat raced.

So I'll agree that we aren't shooting well right now.  But still playing pretty fucking good in the other areas.

How awesome is it that we're nit picking the number one team in the country?

Hosting BlowU tonight at 8 (after some fun warmup games: UF/Vandy and UK/OM).

Hard to get a handle on Moser's team.  They were down to Vandy at the half (no shame in that this year), but ended up blowing out the 'dores by about 30.

Luckily we're in Neville and I hope that JB4 can take some minutes off to rest the leg/shoulder.

If you take OU pts from the floor (43) and only AU pts in the paint, AU still wins by 3.....that's some good D and pounding the rock inside

This team is a joy to watch.  My favorite moment of last night's game?  The Dylan Cardwell reverse dunk alley-oop.  Can't wait to go see 'em in person this weekend against the swamp asses.

Dominance. Complete game.  Looked like #1.

You know I have to throw in a caveat.  Pearl needs to check CBM.  Enough is enough. He's a great player, but as I've said before, he has a long history of T's, and it got longer last night.  The biggest problem is, I never saw Bruce, or any assistants get in his ear, and after he got tossed, he was still standing and barking, one time clearly at the ref.

Why do you put Jahki in the doghouse, which you should have, but don't say squat to CBM?  Do that in a tight game, and it may be an L, like it was in the tourney last year.

I mostly agree, but in the scenario above, Bruce was standing between CBM and the ref (ostensibly watching the goings on on the court, but likely just listening to CBM).  If something out of bounds was said, I would have expected a reaction then.

I was afraid that was going to change the mo, when OU came right down and hit a 3.  To AU's credit, they exploded from that point on.

Agreed, but to be fair, we don't know if he's making CBM pay in practice, either.

Dude is making a strong case to be fan fave numero uno.  The kids love him.

I'm the kids.

ETA: I fucking love Tahaad's swagger.  That motherfucker walks the ball down the court like he's about to teabag your granny.  Sometimes he's lighting and sometimes it's a popcorn fart.  But he's young and he has zero fear.  Him on Fears (see what I did there, Ton?) was riveting basketball.

Fun fact…

Kentucky is the only other team that has played as many Q1 games as we have won. 

I was Chillin’ With Dylan last year.  He is Mr. Auburn.  I like Broome, Miles, Chad, Tahaad, Chaney, etc.  I love Dylan and CMo.

Leave the man alone. Bruce let him have that one. After the elbow and the nut kick, you knew it was coming. So did Bruce. We were up plenty and we needed some fire. So BP figured why not. CBM was mentally gone at that point. Let CBM get it out of his system. He’s been very good at bottling it up all season. That last technical was horse crap.
The little punk Fears had been pushing it.
CMo came in and wiped the floor for a few minutes until we busted it wide open.
It’s all good. We ain’t Harvard’s bitch.

Talked to a Southern Indiana booster last night who lived next door to Lord Bruce when he was the USI coach.  The booster and her husband attend 4 or 5 Auburn games a year, and were right behind the Auburn bench for the OU game.

She said that Bruce did in fact rip CBM a new one, and all the players, saying exactly what we are saying here on the board.
