The Official 2020-2021 Auburn Hoops Thread With No Post Season

Shariffe participated in pre-game warmups and was on the sideline for this one...hopefully that means good news is coming.


Oh...FUCK the NCAA and Georgia!

he speaks for all of us 

[Snaggletiger]

So you're saying the Shariffe is near?

What did he say?

Auburn playing right now on SEC Network.  Up 8 on Appy State with 14:00 to go in the second half.

14 point win (67-53) for the Fighting Pearls to go to 6-2.  They start SEC play Wednesday against a damn good Arkansas club.

They are gonna get schooled by some senior laden teams. But they are gonna take some down also.

Odd seeing a 6’6” PG at AU.

Yep.  Just hoping they gel a little more every time out.  Also hope Cooper can get out there and be as advertised.  If he is, that could be a difference maker.  I’m assuming he didn’t play today.  I just saw the score while at work.

Dang! Just watched the game DVR'ed. Offense has been great but defense last two games is smothering. Get Shariff in the flow and it will get ugly for opposing teams. Powell had a pedestrian night but you can see Pearl is expecting Shariff to be back. Flanigan is exerting his will. Ark may get us but I'm not so sure. Pearl is coaching his ass off and the kids are responding.

No coop yet.

[Buzz Killington]

No coop yet.

Getting closer though, it seems.  He was involved in the warmups and Turbo has pushed the Multidimensional Transponder button to beam out of Auburn.

Got handled by a good Piggy team last night.  Stayed with them until about 5 minutes to go, then faded.  Bruce is the man.  No doubt.  But his offensive philosophy of everyone launch a 3 whether you're open or not, is cringe-worthy. They've got all this talent and more size and length than they've ever had and they don't even try to have an inside game.  It's just pass it around the perimeter and rain 3's.  If you're hitting them, great, you can run with anybody.  If not, UCF beats your ass.

i think you’re oversimplifying what is going on. That’s not his philosophy at all. It’s the result you are seeing on the court as a result of other things going on.

I will say this, if Thor gains weight and strength, he could end up being one of our best ever players. The guy can move with the ball really well. He just doesn’t have the size to finish yet.

I read a piece on him before the season and he said he's always patterned his game after Kevin Durant.  I followed enough NBA pre-BLM, to know KD is 6'11" to 7 footer who is slightly built and has a game that takes people away from the basket.  He can drain 3's all day or pop 12-15 footers over you.  That was what Thor said he works on constantly.  I saw him with a couple of nice moves like that last night.

Saying don’t confuse the intention with the end result. No one in their right mind thinks Bp’s plan is to ever launch 48 threes and miss 70% of them.

More cow bell?

More cow bell?

You know I actually heard "Don't Fear the Reaper" the other morning in the wee hours and paid very close attention to it for overpowering cow bell.
