Tonight on the deuce @ 6 PST.

I think we'll win unless we don't.

3 turnovers in the first 4 trips. Watched the 1st half. God please put this team out of it's misery...or at least stop ESPN from showing every fucking game.

I only hope that Sonny Smith and Charles Barkley do the play-by-play for the ESPN games in Tuscaloosa.

Chubb is out tonight...all hope is lost.

I turned it off after we got down by 18. We are Turruble.

Having a Chubb on our team was our only redeeming quality. Our party last month would not have been the same without a Chubb.

I know it always makes me happy.

What's so frustrating to me is that when you actually take a close look at what Barbee is doing, it's so wasted with high school talent on the floor going against D1 players. Throughout Ellis' and Lebo's tenures, I never once saw any semblence of a real offense or changing defensive sets the way Barbee does. They run a great motion offense with all kinds of cuts and screens and everyone is moving....as opposed to Lebo's pass it around until you can launch the first 3 offense. In the first 3 minutes last night, they had run man to man and two different zone defenses as well.

But..when 3 out of the first 4 offensive trips consist of 2 travels and passing it to the other team...what do you do?

As soon as we get some talent, we can turn this thing around...

You sell.

He has to sell this program to some great high school talent. The scheme will work, but you gotta make layups. We got some really good athletes out on the floor right now. Problem is, they cannot shoot. We need some shooters. I don't mean Dominique Williams shooters. We need guys that are fundamentally sound high efficiency shooters.

EGGG-zactry....Fuck our starting point guard is a walk-on for cripes sake and he is one of the best players on the team. Help is on the way next year.

Every single one of these guys, with maybe the exception of Ross, should be 5-6 minute per night, coming off the bench players. This is Tennessee State level talent at best. But isn't this a microcosm (Damn, I just used microcosm in a sentence. Been dying to do that and I'm not even sure if I spelled it right) of the last 10+ years of Auburn basketball? Some promise in the off season, then bang...3 incoming guys that can help you immediately don't qualify. Bang...two of the leading scorers from last year, injured. Bang...the one guy with promise, Andre Malone decides AU isn't right for him. SSDD.

Bang...microcosm.

True, but Barbee has proved he was a winner elsewhere, I believe he can get the ship righted. Shit, its not like we don't have a draw or facilities. Like I have said before talent is so much different in basketball then in football, you can't fuck up on a guy. You have to be a great evaluator of the talent, because in basketball one player can make a HUGE difference.

Agree. One player is the difference. See Ohio State and UConn this year.

I would normally agree; however, that assumes the team you're talking about actually has college players on it.

We should have kept lebo. He was good for at least what? 1 maybe 2 sec wins a year. We will regret it.
