Really anxious to see how well we do against that Syracuse 2-3 zone.

Pretty good, I'd say.

Yessir. Wasn't sure this group could shoot their way through that zone. Very good sign for the season imo. And they have done all this without Flanigan too.

UCF comes in tomorrow night. This team is pretty damn good. 4-1 with a win over Miami, and the only loss being a 3 point win for Oklahoma. Better bring that A game.

The last 5 out of 6 are at home before starting the SEC slate against LSU. Hope Flanigan is back and ready to contribute by then.

Quotes from Sir Bruce on tonight's game with UCF

"This will be the second-best team we've played against behind probably UConn, and it's the best defensive team we've played against so far," Pearl said. "They're one of the oldest teams in college basketball – a lot of juniors and seniors, a lot of fourth- and fifth-year guys. Last year we didn't play Darius Perry, who is arguably their best player.
"This is a much better team than we played a year ago. We'll have to continue to improve."

We owe them a beatdown though. Do it for Gus!

And a beat down it was. Good lord just give this dude a lifetime contract and football coach level money at this point. I think we’ve seen enough sample size now to know that this mfer is legit. He’s a program changer. All hail lord Bruce.

Well, that was a total dismantling/pantsing of a B1G opponent. I don't know much about Nebraska as a bball program, but Hoiberg is highly regarded as a coach.

With Bruce serving the first of a two-game suspension, Wes Flanigan stepped in and led the guys to an entertaining win in fertile recruiting grounds. I'm amazed at the pace at which these guys are gelling. Yesterday they looked completely in-sync, loose and dangerous.

Two questions (one of which is serious):
1. How do you work AF into this rotation without upsetting some chemistry?
2. Has Bruce been holding us back?

Let's take a moment to recognize Wes Flanigan as the all-time winningest coach (by W/L %) at Auburn.

And Steven Pearl is destined to join him tomorrow night. We finna roll 3 deep with all-star coarches.

Speaking of perfect, does anyone know who the all-time passing leader is for Auburn?

That's right, Will Appleton. His completion percentage is 100%. 8.5 yards per pass and a 171.4 QB Rating.

Suck it, haters.

Slowly work him in until he is 100% and has knocked off all the rust. If the rust sticks on him then you work him off the bench.

That's probably the ticket. I was thinking moreso about ego/PT/chemistry.

Luckily, this team seems to lack the first element of that equation.

The Tiggers face off with North Alabama tonight at 8:00 CT. That's 4:37 p.m. Pacific Time.

The Lions are 6-3 and riding a 5 game winning streak. They got slapped around by 26 in their opener against Mississippi State, and also lost to Iona (Who gave Bama their lone loss) and Manhattan. Since then, they've registered wins against a who's who of who the fuck is that?

No real stars on N.A. with their leading scorer hitting 11.7 ppg. For Auburn, Jabari Smith is putting up some damn impressive numbers all around.

17.3 ppg

6.9 rebounds per game

2.6 assists per game

Shooting 85% from the charity stripe

44.7% from 3-point range

I don't have any idea how good this team is, or what will happen down the road when they get into conference play. But right now, they look as good as any team in the country. What would really bring about some chronic chub, would be to go all Braves on em'. Winning the World Series was a huge fuck you to Major League Baseball. Bruce Pearl winning it all would tell the NCAA to kiss his entire ass.
