Barstool Sports ran a hit piece about CBM and his antics three days ago. Auburn hater's are quick to join in on the mob mentality bc it's what hater's do.
That's not gonna change.

We simply got outplayed. Not much more to say.

Denver and CBM had bad games. If either have there normal game, we most likely win.
This team needs every player hitting to compete at the highest levels. UF had their players all at the top of their game.

Still only a 9 point loss after being down 20.

Hopefully this creates even more focus.

Their size with Condon and Waugh under the basket was fucking us up. JB and Dylan were struggling to put anything in.

Add to that the guard struggles and... well it could have been worse.

Kinda glad the pressure of the streak is off.

We struggle with coordinated bigs under the basket. Our D was atrocious in general. But you're right - the team lives and dies with how CBM + Denver plays. Our super close wins and 2 losses, look at their numbers.

Yeah the two combined for:
2-10 FG
1-4 3pt
3-5 FT
8 total points

They have to be more engaged and get to the line because they are two of our best.
Denver did have 7 boards to CBM's 1.

That was better..... nice bounce back win on the road.

Dear baby Jesus let us flush the turds in Coleman on Saturday

Still trying to understand CBM's stat line.
You can't play 28 minutes and only get 2 rebounds.

Bruce Pearl could get two rebounds from missed 3 pointers just from his constant encroaching on the court.

I don't really care for individual stats so much but something is not quite right.

It's a bit under the radar, but CBM is not 100%. More in the 60-70% range. Same with Broome. And I think its frustrating them both.

That would definitely explain the falloff.

Bruce said as much when asked about CMo starting over him.

BEAT BAMA

And Fuck Georgia

eagleair89 · « **Reply #152 on:** February 15, 2025, 06:55:35 PM »

YES!!

CCTAU · « **Reply #153 on:** February 16, 2025, 12:46:04 AM »

It was a rousing victory!

We had to beat 8 again. But did so with a total team effort!

We are hard to beat when Denver and CBM play their normal game to go along with the rest of the team.

Broome is still kicking it. One leg and all!

The obstacles ahead are great. The SEC is the most complete conference, no argument. CBP already knows what we are up against.
I kept thinking, like most of us that the greatest competition would be teams like Iowa State, Houston, Duke, Michigan St. etc...
but the most formidable lineup is at St. John's where old nomad Rick Pitino has transformed an already decent team with a lengthy formidable group of talent and depth that could go toe to toe with last year's champ UCONN, striped shirts and all.
So with player's like Ojifor, Luis and Richmond et al...look for the noise to build as this plays out that will certify them (per talking heads) as unbeatable with a head coach that would long last ascend to the throne as the GOAT in ANY league that ever fashioned a basket on a post.

St.John's will be the tourney favorite.
That's a good thing for Auburn and for cbb as a whole.

Our team needs to stay hungry and focused, if not humble to some degree.[assuming that's possible]

Just saying-long way to go.

Six regular season games remaining.

Arkansas - Home

FUGA - Home

Ole Miss - Home

Kentucky - Away

Texas A&M - Away

Bama - Home

The first 3 are very winnable, espacially at home. The last 3....wow, what a way to finish.

Of those last 3, aTm scares me the most. I think this is the year we break the Rupp streak.

That would be nice. This is a good year to get em'. Definitely talented, but they play zero defense.

John Calamari brings Arkansas into Neville tonight for an 8:00 CT start. A quick look at the Hogs.

15-10 overall. 4-8 in SEC play.

They're led in scoring by Adou Thiero and Boogie Fland, both averaging just over 15 ppg. Thiero is the leading rebounder at 6.1 a game.

Offensively, they put up 76 a game, and give up 69 on defense. They hit 3's at a 33.8% clip

Decent size inside with Ivisic at 7'2" and Brazille at 6'10". Leading scorer, Thiero, is 6'8". After that, there's not much there.

Biggest wins this year are over Kentucky in Rupp, and Michigan, who is leading the Big 10 at 20-5.

Is Fland still out?
