2019-2020 Official Auburn Hoops Thread (with no official aspirations)

Auburn basketball on the road in the SEC:

Tonight's game was painful to watch. It was a win, a 2 OT win over a pretty bad Ole Miss team by a single point, but it was a win. A win plagued by disjointed, dispassionate play but a win. A win that looked at times like they were trying to shit peach pits, but a win.

Ill-advised shots at ill-advised times. And still. A win. Some of the most egregious home-cooking I've ever seen from the refs. Constant Rebel walking went uncalled. Numerous out-of-bounds awards that should have gone AU's way didn't. Their kid with the alopecia face (or whatever) went to the foul line if somebody looked at him, we were getting mugged and raped at the other end with no call. And still. A win.

I hope there were some lessons learned. Maybe we grow from it.

BTW, I'm taking credit for the win. Were behind, badly, and playing like ass when I turned it on. Things changed for the better once I was assisting from my living room.

This team will be the cause of many an ulcer!

Like Buzz, I couldn't find the game on the 2,583, mostly useless channels I have through Rectum TV. But the truth is, I didn't search real hard because the first time I checked my phone, we were down like 15-2. I kept checking and it was always double digit deficits. Then it was 7. Then it was down to 3. Then I started searching, found it and watched the finish and two overtimes.

The reality is, unless they're in the tourney, I rarely want to watch a full game because of what CCT said. Ear-regardless of the fact that they're 18-2, this team will, and always has given me ulcers and caniption fits. I usually wind up watching a half or less. Football is different. You have 12 games, 3 or 4 of which are usually no stress situations. Each one is an even in it's own right, whether I'm at the game or having people over to cookout and watch. Tuning in on a Tuesday night to see them fumble-fuck their way to a 19 point deficit makes me ill.

You know this is such a relief...I'm glad I finally got caught....I wanted to be caught

This is a wake-up call, all right? You gotta get back out there, and meet somebody, because you are spiraling outta control here.

When beating Kentucky doesnâ€™t even rate a celebratory post the day of?

Look whoâ€™s a basketball school.

I finally watched most of it.
I think Kentucky must have felt like we did playing at Ole Miss. there were a lot of fouls called on them and less on us. But that seems to be the norm these days.

The fighting Ashley Judd's can choke on a bag of dicks.

The UK fans on twitter are fucking SALTY about the refs. It's hilarious. Like watching bama fans get upset about a holding penalty.

Was great to see Samir get his groove back, definitely need him producing in the meat of the schedule.

Not sure why anyone is surprised. Auburn (I think???) leads the country in FT Attempts. We drive the basket a lot and get a lot of offensive rebounds.

Great win against the Cats. That's 2 in a row against them, which never happens.

I haven't seen the latest polls to see where we are currently. But, the lack of respect for what this bunch has done is bordering on ridiculous. After going 16-0 and being one double dribble call from playing for the MNC last year, we were grudgingly moved up to #6. Two road losses, one of which was to Florida, an extremely tough place for anybody to win, we were dropped 10 places to #16. A win at home and a win on the road and we go to 18-2. Our reward? Dropped to #17. I'm just wondering if a win over #13 Kentucky will get us punted from the top 25.

BTW, going into the Kentucky game, there were 11 teams ahead of us with more losses.

Irregardless...(is that a real word?), two double digit losses to two unranked teams in a row - is gonna take its toll.

It's Ear-regardless. What a maroon!

I don't have a problem taking a hit for those two losses. What I do have a problem with is the following:

Teams currently ahead of 19-2 Auburn:

Duke 3 losses, including one at home to Stephen F. Austin. Lost at home to Louisville and lost on the road to unranked Clemson.

Villanova 4 losses

West Virginia 4

Maryland 4

Seton Hall 5

Butler 5

Michigan State 6

When we hit our 4th loss, the only place you'll find our name is "Others receiving votes".
