Boogs v Ole Miss

I understand drawing the foul. But he was sloppy. After watching Bryce utterly dominate to see Harper ball hog which did lead to some free throws but also led to some rejected shot attempts with no fouls and an ugly ass turn over. So yeah, I would have liked to see him pop it out to Bryce for an open 3 vs passing to the other team. Mooooving on.

20 wins PERIOD for AU is a huge deal. 20 wins this early in the year is mind bottling. Very proud of this team and coach. Wiley and DP would only take away from this team now chemistry wise.

WDE


This is the last time I will respond to you on this board as I will put you on ignore. Call me a pvssy, because I don't give a fvck. You don't know shit about basketball and you should not be on this board. I hate you more than I hate rice. See ya, dipshit!

Wow, another disgruntled millennial. Sorry for invading your safe space, but fear not, that ignore button will protect you for life. I am glad you are here at the Greg. War Eagle young lad, I wish you nothing but the best in life.

Lol. So you kind of agree, but because it’s me you don’t. What a pvssy way to live life. Ole Fatz has turned into such a coward he put me on “ignore”. What is popular is not always right. What is right is not always popular. I don’t mind challenging the group think mentality here while cheering on AU. Glad you are here mate. If we all thought the same it wouldn’t be fun.

War Eagle!
You’re forgetting this board is very clickish and is used to having each other’s backs from tbb. I don’t agree with everything you say, but people just freak out over dissenting opinions against the tigers. Also, most of this board has never played an ounce of elite b-ball, so they look at a couple posters opinions as God’s word on the matter. It is what it is. This board is still 10x better than any other auburn board.

Thanks bud. I don’t want everyone to agree with me. I like hearing different points of view. I have nowhere to post, therefore the Greg is my home. I may not be a basketball expert, but I did attend the Tommy Joe Eagles Basketball camp for a couple years and the Dale Brown basketball camp. Lol!

I don't think we're cliquish, I think we just have higher standards here than other (lesser) OBBERN boreds.

I’d bet that’s more basketball experience than a lot of the guys trying to make fun of you. We’re all on the same team here, just want to see auburn do well. I’m having a blast this season.

Just for transparency you’re the one who insisted Bryce Brown was trash until like a week ago.
 
Woke up still looking at the idea that getting your best ball handler and free throw shooter to milk the clock could be interpreted as Allen Iverson “hero ball.”

I don’t think the plan was for him to not get fouled, but blocked and also pass the ball to the other team. I get the strategy but he had a few bad plays when trying to execute it. The lead dwindled under that strategy. IMO a couple of those “drives” could have been a kick out to Bryce for the 3 where we likely get the rebound on a miss restarting the shot clock all over again. But I could be way wrong here. I get the strategy but also say he had a rough patch of plays. You are free to disagree.
 
Mine are better. And very well documented here on the Greg. It’s my niche. Now, where’s my clique to come in and white knight for me??? Hello? Beuller??

Your reverse jinxes may be elite, but my in-game seating configurations are the GOAT. If you got up to get a cup of Cheez-Its and we hit a 3, you're ass is staying in the kitchen until we miss a 3.

Just piling on, but I guess when your basketball team is 20-2, #1 SEC, #11 nationally, we'll start listening to your criticism over Bruce AUlmighty's in game coaching decisions. I think that's what this entire argument pretty much boils down to.

I am not critiquing Bruce but poor execution by Harper. I will be totally honest. I wanted more points for Bryce. He was playing out of his mind. Instead Jared took like our final 4 shots or so and went 2-11 from the field with 13 points. 20-2, freaking crazy!!

Nah. I think it’s the fact that he was calling Harper Allen Iverson me chit hero ball when it was actually the total opposite of that. It’d be the football team being up by two scores and then calling the punter a selfish ass for punting the ball. It just made no sense
 
I wasn't able to watch the game last night but as I've said all year this team will go as far as Bryce will take them.

Yeah pretty clear he was doing what he was supposed to. When you are dribbling out the clock and taking it to the rim with less than 5 secs not really time to kick it. They made a couple good plays defending it at the rim. Maybe get a foul call if the game was still in question. I mean it's one thing to offer a terrible take but then triple/ quadruple down on it come on.

Is the punter fumbling the snap or kicking the wrong direction? Horrible analogy.

OMG WE WON!!!!! So everyone played and coached perfect!!!!!!

You do realize those plays didn’t really help us and our lead dissipated. Would have been smarter in hindsight to pass it around for the open look then draw the foul especially when Ole Miss DIDN’T foul and you either got blocked or caused a turn over that both led to points. I just agree to disagree. He got a couple free throws, yes, but it was an inefficient ending to the game. Again, that is some real nitpicking crap by me and over all we played great. At the moment I wanted more for Bryce and the way he was playing I would rather him shoot 4 times than Harper fumble around our there trying to draw a foul. My bad

Yes, but they weren’t fouling. Might as well of run the normal offense and scored vs giving the ball back. Again, I get the strategy but last thing you do is wind the clock down and turn it over etc. We had a huge lead so it didn’t matter and at this point I am b!tching to b!tch.

What happens if he passed the ball and Bryce missed every one of those shot (Bryce turned it over) and OM still scored and still lost by 9?

It’s a 14 point lead with a couple of minutes left and we won by 7. The plays you are complaining about were ugly plays for sure....but each time we had an ugly play we melted 25-30 seconds off the clock. It literally is impossible to make up the deficit if we do that and when Ole Miss decides not to foul or even trap it’s the right call. Might be ugly and it might look terrible but it’s just like running the ball 3 straight times at the end of the play clock and punting when you are up 25 points in the 4th quarter. If the Falcons used that kind of approach they’d have a Super Bowl ring.

Your original complaints decried that it wouldn’t work against better teams. I’d contend that if we’re in the Sweet 16 playing a nationally ranked blue blood and we lead by 14 with 2 minutes left we should do this same thing again if they allow it. We’d be advancing to the Elite 8 and not caring that Harper held the ball too much at the very end. Cause up 14 at 2 minutes I would 100% take the 30 seconds off the clock every possession if offered to me. All day. Every day.

I've conferred with all the women at my work (you don't want pics, trust me) and the one guy who graduated from AU but couldn't point you in the direction of a single athletics venue on campus, and have determined that I'm right and all of you are wrong.

I think we get the rebound 75% of the time off the misses and I think he makes 2 of the 4 or goes 4 for 4. Either way I would take it because he played badazz last night and wanted to see him get some more.

It’s like Michael Jordan scoring 40 points and at the end of the game Ron Harper who is 2-8 drives 4 straight times and looks ugly doing but the Bulls win so it’s all good.

I am so happy we won, let’s drop this.

Where in the world are you getting that AU gets 75% of their offensive rebound opportunities? That’s bizarre

I never uttered the words trash. I did think at that time he was touted too highly on this board for different reasons, but a lot of those reasons he’s shut me up on the past couple weeks. He’s wasnt on anyone’s NBA radar for those reasons.

Because a 3 usually creates a long rebound and have you seen the sexy long arms on our stud ponies? They would scrap for that loose ball. Look, we don’t know what would have happened. It wouldn’t have been any worse than what did happen.
