Pearl has to get the selfish fuckers to play together. So far he's failing.

He failed with Canty if you want to call kicking his ass off the team failing. Bowers is going to act like a bull in a china shop. Proved it last year, but Bruce did get him to calm down long enough to make it to the semifinals in the SEC.

Seriously? Are you people bitching about Pearl during year number two? Do you not remember what shitty years Barbee was and what shit tier talent he left us with? So Bruce took a chance with Canty and it didn't work out once he didn't have to play behind Mason and Harrell. Sometimes players wind up being shit heads for whatever reason. He got rid of him though. We have 4 seniors and 2 are walkons. One is Bowers and the other is a bench rider left from the Barbee years. We have injuries out the ass and have one difference maker that couldn't get his ACT shit cleared in time. Give the guy a break.

He had to take what he could get to fill holes when he got here (Bowers, Canty, etc). The young guys have been pretty good so far so we just need to tough it out and get a couple of classes enrolled. Lets start questioning his coaching ability in year 3.

This.

I will go on record to say that I would give Pearl a lifetime contract. Because if he can't win, then no one will be able to. And at least he is a good ambassador, promoter and can sell tickets...

Put me on record too. I like Pearl, he's perfect for Auburn Basketball but he's not the actual "coach" we thought he was.

Auburn needs to keep him forever because he can steal talent and promotes the game. And if that talent wants to play together (already injured or on the mend) it's up to those players.

Shamsid-Deen is the player that we miss the most if for nothing more than knowing his role. He played hard on both ends, especially defense giving up his slight body after balls which is why he's not available. Danjel Purifoy is a team player that works hard when he's on the floor and can eat some minutes. He knows his role as well.

We have some size but it doesn't perform because it doesn't have a chance with Bowers on the floor. So now we are back to square one without legitimate scorer(s) to lessen the number of touches he gets. And Bower's wants to dunk or bomb to the detriment of the team.
Game over.

If they even whispered about getting rid of Pearl now, it would definitely be the most stupidest decision I have seen in AU athletics. And that's saying a bunch.

Exactly! It's hard to make chicken salad out of chicken shit. Pearl has had his work cut out for him with what he's had to work with. Better days are ahead for us if our incoming recruiting class holds firm.

It could also be true that Barbee could have similar results as Pearl did at Tennessee with like talent. Look at Tubby Smith from '08 to the present.

I have said it before. We get rid of Bowers, get rid of Canty, (both are cancers and selfish) get Dunnans back healthy, hopefully New Williams knees heal up in the off season so he can go at 100%, with Purifoy, Brown, Lang, Spencer, Reed, Heron, Harper and McLemore and we have a little gas to cook with.

Watched almost the entire Iowa State/Baylor game last night. Couldn't stop watching despite Baylor's neon yellow threads. I think it ended like 100-91 in 1 OT. These two teams are so well coached and skilled, at least on offense anyway. Both complete teams inside and out. And yes, it made me weep for Auburn basketball. Even with all our guys healthy and not being assholes, we're light years away from that level.

I could see either of these teams making a run deep into the tourney. But then again, the Big 12 is F'n loaded. I believe Baylor's final 6 games include 5 against top 25 teams.

How do you know? Pearl hasn't had a full roster available since he has been here. Do you see the "talent" that is on the floor? It looks like a game at the YMCA. There is no one worth a shit that is playing for us. Bowers is the fucking point guard...BOWERS. If that doesn't tell you something, I don't know what does...

What WEK!!! said, Pearl for Life if he can't turn our program around, shut the bitch down, give the Basketball Arena to the Jehovah Witnesses and funnel all money to ex-Football Coaches Contracts.

Fifthded, with the caveat that horses stay outside. Cooped up equine can exude a most malodorous air.

After being down just about the entire game, they used a strong second half to finally take the lead and hold it at the end. I would have never believed they could pull this off. And especially on the road. Color me shocked. Come on, show of hands....who really saw Lehigh beating Navy last night?

I know I didn't.

Put that on top of an Auburn win and Duke over the cheating ass Tarheels....pretty good night.
