WOOOWW BIG 3

 

[Bammerboy321]

Man is transition defense just not a thing anymore? What is it with guys just not paying attention to what is happening down the court?

 

[Bammerboy321]

That last sequence is exactly where you miss Bruce. That was an awful set call. Down goes auburn.

 

[Bammerboy321]

Geez I get onto our fans, but we almost always pack out Coleman during conference play (unless we're sending a message to fire the coach). Oklahoma has NO ONE there to watch them play Ole Miss. Horrible attendance.

 

[Bammerboy321]

Time to flip it to Arkansas-tennessee

 

[Bammerboy321]

I'll be damned - Florida is losing to Mizzou.

 

[Bammerboy321]

Florida does not seem like a good shooting team at all. Their bigs are really good at closing out driving lanes defensively. Then offensively, they can really space the floor and pass the ball well. But Fland and Xaivan Lee are a combined 2-9 from 3 and 4-13 from the floor.

Mizzou is making some really tough shots. Honestly, Florida is lucky it's only a six-point deficit right now. Mizzou has missed a plethora of open 3s.

 

[Bammerboy321]

Florida is struggling but you really have to appreciate how their bigs track down rebounds. Doesn't matter if it's a long board or around the rim, they are active on the boards.

 

[Bammerboy321]

10-point lead now for Mizzou. It is mayhem in Columbia. 28 points in the paint for Mizzou; 18 for Florida.

Florida is also 3-18 from 3. Oof

UGA either needs to have the bulldog or the G on the court... having both looks stupid. Need to ditch the dog outline.

How many years have we seen fans complain about Coleman looking so dark on TV? UGA has blown out the candles and taken the cake there.

Steadman ... reminds me of the old joke about UGA and U.G.L.Y. The sad thing is their gym looks okay compared to some of the others. It's to a point in some games where the court is enough of a distraction it can be a little difficult to follow the game.

 

[Bammerboy321]

We got double OT in San Diego. Boise State didn't foul up 3 and SDSU hit the game-tying 3.

I really hope we try to get BJ Davis from SDSU in the portal of he transfers. He looks like a perfect guard for Oats.

 

[Bammerboy321]

Triple OT!

How come we didn't see more of Bethea?

A couple of thoughts:

One of the quickest ways to get "yanked" is taking a bad shot. He did that to himself early on with a three attempt very early in the shot clock. Just a bad shot and he was subsequently benched.

Oats did mention he wished Bethea would have seen more minutes. But good lord, with the depth? That's easier said than done. Bethea will need to take advantage of his chances when he gets them.

I gotta say. You can be all over the place. In one breath you want to see more from Bama's bench and in the next breath you want to bring in another perimeter guy?

 

[Bammerboy321]

Might deserve its own thread. This might be the most Philip Marshall/auburn post ever.

The barn athletic department is a clown show and reporters following them all get sucked into that clown show.... Why do they not just focus on themselves instead of bringing Bama into their we wish we were Bama world?

 

[Bammerboy321]

Brian Hodgson just lost a brutal game to UAB. Think they had an 11-point lead and choked it away.

 

[Bammerboy321]

I love Dusty May but I wish he was not coaching at Michigan.

Michigan is interesting, they are built very well and very large. I like how they're handling things. I do worry for them, that this momentum will wear out come March but they're a very good team even if it does a bit.

The way things look now, they seem to be on a collision course with Arizona. We all know that it's still unlikely with how the NCAAT is set up + potential upsets, but still...what a game that would be. I think Michigan looks better overall right now, but you do wonder if they're peaking early.

They won't get tested in conference likely until they host Nebraska at the end of the month. Then they play at Michigan State (that'll be a fun atmosphere), then their next big conference test is at Purdue February 17th. Right after that, they play Duke.

Florida is up 41-40 at half vs UGA.

Texas A&M plays at auburn tonight at 8 PM
