That was as ugly a half as they've played this season. Nobody could find the basket, early foul issues...just awful basketball.

Looks like they found a rhythm there in the last 7 minutes or so and hopefully they'll pull away in the 2nd half.

It was a win. 81-71.

Purifoy didnâ€™t look like warmed over dung. There may be hope.

USCe will eat our lunch if we play the same way. They are relentless and have more than one shooter.

Really hope Chuma isn't as gimpy as he looked.

I'm still extremely happy.

This is honestly all I've ever wanted from Auburn basketball. It's fun. It's interesting. There's positive energy throughout the program. There's always a chance no matter who's on the schedule. A NCAA Tournament bid was essentially in the bag by January and the only question was really seeding.

When you consider the trash heap Bruce Pearl inherited, how can you be anything other than grateful and impressed?

It gives me hope. And hope's a dangerous thing.

It's clearly the end of days as I continue to agree with K on far too many things.

I only caught the final 5 minutes or so today, but the team looked confident and cohesive. Trouble for anyone facing them.

I really prefer our matchup with UF over LSU, so thanks to Wade for the distraction.

Iâ€™d run through a wall for the guy. Just love the energy. Again - we will not do better. Pay the man. Long term.

Pay the man Allen Greene!!

So auburn wins the sec.

duke wins the acc.

And Publix has bogo on Coca Cola this weekend.

Probably the best 24 hours of snagsâ€™ life.

Happiest Iâ€™ve ever been with the program.

The only times weâ€™ve ever been good in the past it was because we had a generational-type player. Barkley. Person. Porter.

This is a team. No one-man superstar show. Greater than the sum of its parts.

Snaggletiger · « **Reply #393 on:** March 17, 2019, 10:28:10 PM »

I guess you dont know there's an ongoing investigation. Do some research. Smh.

Phenomenal 20 point win...with Harper sitting for pretty much the entire 1st half.

Purifoy is finally finding a shot and adding value on both ends of the court.

I like the momentum this team has, especially with Wiley getting back into the rotation.

I'd be more scared of our draw if KU hadn't just had their asses handed to them by ISU (hey Chiz!), but still having to play through two bluebloods is a tough row.

If we make it past KU then Tarheel does not get his woo back.

So our path is:

30 win team in their backyard.

Kansas

unc

kentucky

virginia or tenn

zags or duke

Auburn is just looking at all those teams saying, "You may not be first, but you can be next."
