🏀 GAME THREAD 🏀 SEC / NCAA Games of the Week: --

I don't think there is another team other than Michigan and Arizona playing at a higher level than Florida.

Talk about luck. You go from Billy Donovan, to a 'minor' set back with Mike White (still have an Elite 8 run), and then get Todd Golden.

I flipped channels and tuned in right after it all went down, but did anyone see why Cal and Golden were shouting at each other... both got T'd up I think.

I think every player in this Ole Miss/auburn game managed to wear a different color pair of shoes.

Ole Miss beats auburn 85-79. Just the 4th SEC win for the Rebels and they get it IN auburn. Man auburn has sunk quickly without Bruce. Pretty amazing really. Funny, but amazing.

I didn't see why he was pissed but they were getting 30-pieced and Cal starting pitching. Golden just was like "why don't yall stop it then"

This must be what they felt like when we had Avery. I think Steven gets another year but that's it. We have to hope they fumble another hire and put their program back to where it was under Barbee.

I agree he gets another year. I think he will have to build a new team for the most part, but he will get the chance. And he should, IMO. But I think he even loses Pettiford to the portal... dude came back to enhance his draft status and I think if anything, it's been hurt.

My auburn buddy (booster there) thinks that if the football side starts winning again, the basketball side will suffer, especially without Bruce who had the admin by the balls. But he says the money just won't be there for both to thrive long term unless something changes (with NIL rules).

Condon's eyes are way too close together. Dude looks like a retarded cat.

Definitely could happen. Depends on the coach IMO. Oats has certain limitations here too because we don't have ultra rich alumni giving him blank checks for recruits. But because he wins, he is given a whole lot more than what Avery or Grant would have ever gotten. Like when he was first hired, he and Hogdson were given the green light to fly that private jet as much as possible to recruit.

I think if you have an elite coach, fans will do whatever it takes to ensure to maintain momentum and program success. I imagine their fans are doing the same when it comes to support Butch Thompson.
