Boogs v Coogs ( Round 1 THE TOURNEY)

[Fatz Geronimo]

I’ve not watched Clem or NMSU at all. Anybody know who would be the best matchup for us? I’ve seen so much Clem debacle (live in ‘12, ‘16 and ‘17) with the football team that I might have a come apart if we were to lose to them in basketball, too, but I’m trying to be more logical than emotional when deciding who to send some good vibes to in this next game.

I’ve been saying since January when we were first projected in the same bracket as Clemson that I couldn’t take losing to them in another sport...

their best big guy is out for the year - I think torn ACL? Anyway, they’ve struggled without him

I think NMSU is a bigger squad - they outrebound their opponents like crazy, which could give us problems

we should beat either team... and beating Clemson would cement BRUCE as the breaker of all Boog curses forever... but I’d rather face NMSU

I think we’re winning Sunday regardless though

As probably the biggest AU fan on this board, I can say that was a decent win but I’m severely disappointed. Bruce should’ve done better. Definitely a firable offense. if he doesn’t get lucky. Fvck jay Jacobs

We are only bad in away gyms in game 1. Now that we have one under our belt, I expect to shoot 45% from three on Sunday

I will forward yore nudez to him. Yore welcome

Is this a real thing? I'm drunk enough to ask.

I’m pretty sure we need to play Clemson though.




*Vomits*

 

[MomentInTheSun]

Why didn’t Dunbar start?

 

[BigtimeAub]

Good prediction by Demeat.

Shut up, Rice.

true... and I pray for the chance to eat these words, but after yesterday I’m not scared of Kansas

now after tonight, a good high school squad wouldn’t be scared of us... but I really really want a week of discussion on the Michigan State, Duke, Kansas, and AUBURN? matchup next week... it would be enough to carry me through an entire fall of Gus’ dumbass

The one biggest problem for Auburn is hitting shots.If they can knock em down it will be game on for whoever they are playing.

Post post pass

 

[RistDownAU]

No way we should have won with our awful numbers but we did. A win is a win.

I have to admit I lol’d.

pray that clem loses on a fluke play, pray.

Meh, either we play a lot better or we are going home. If we can play our best game we can beat either one of these teams, that being said we have only done that once since Mac went out.

 

[seaborn56]

Playing with house money now! We won and played poorly. Nothing to lose. That’s how I’d sell it if I were king Bruce.

Allen's gonna make sure BRUCE remains where he belongs for years to come. Wouldn't be surprised if the arena got renamed in the next few years.

Yup. We live or die by the 3 and even much more so when Anfernee went down.

 

[Van Gorstache]

We survived and advanced. Feels good man. Especially in light of Virginia’s doo doo pie.

deserves one of them acting awards for fancy people

Watching some of the Clemson game, I think we need to play some of that 1-3-1 against them. They’re a decent shooting team, but they’re big and athletic enough inside to cause us more problems there IMO. Plus, that 1-3-1 with Harper in the middle protects him a bit from foul trouble. I’d almost say go with the zone first half and switch to man in the second half if we need to make a change. And outside of Duke, I’m not sure they would’ve seen much zone lately.

Surprised the basketball didn't explode on contact. I know I would.

I checked their stats.

They hit 6 three pointers
They only managed 3 offensive boards against NMSU’s 8.
They had a really good night from the field, so hopefully they won’t be hot two straight games.

I think if we crash the boards and meet their level of physicality, we’ll have a good shot so long as we don’t go 0-13 from three in a half.

Yes, however some prominent BOT members do not.

 

[Denim Vest]

Anti Semite hicks no doubt. Should be stripped of their seats ASAP.

Which ones?

Yeah, I just think zone is our best option for foul preservation and what Clemson showed last night that they’re good at doing (for the first half at least). They penetrated and hit a lot of open jumpers inside the arc, and they have 2-3 bigger guys who are athletic and can score in the paint with their back to the basket. Statistically, they’re as good a 3-point shooting team as us. So, that could be a problem and may force us to get out of the zone, but that’s a chance I’d have to take. And if we can get to the second half without foul trouble, I think we can turn up the defensive intensity with man in the second half.

 

[WDE_Tarp]

wait why is Sweet Jared shooting the ft’s

Because we're sneaky and these refs blow.

I'm guessing the ball was at least a foot too high IYKWIM.
