Getting restless for this one and so are the HYGs:
Definitely not taking this one for granted after a wacky first day of SEC play yesterday.

*** Boogs v Ole Miss ***
- Thread starter Denim Vest
- Start date
I’m gonna hit my boss up & try & make a road trip to see this one. One of my best clients lives in Oxford & played a little baseball for the Land Sharks. Haven’t been there in awhile.
Laying in my bed sweating going through Boog hoops withdrawals right now. Three more days. Don’t know if can take it. Need this dub really bad
Look across the country, road conference wins are always tough. Every weekend teams will find L's that don't look like they should be taking on paper. We will have a couple as will most Top 10 teams. Hope we get off to a fast start though. Don't need a L coming out of the gates.
Agreed. As you said, almost any road game is tough in conference play. Being our first road test after the disaster in Raleigh, I think this is a really critical game. We do not have to play phenomenal to beat Ole Miss, but we also can't look completely incompetent on offense as we did against NC State, turning the ball over left and right.
I do think this is one of the better road matchups for us. Wiley is going to have a very favorable matchup against Ole Miss's mediocre 7 footer from Poland. This is the perfect example of a game where we should be able to establish Wiley and let the rest of our offense build from our post game. Really hope to see us come out of the gate feeding Wiley and it would also be nice if we have added some wrinkles for Austin to kick back to Chuma or others cutting to the basket once Ole Miss starts to double him. On the road, its even more critical for Jared to have a strong game. We really need one of his 10 assist performances.
Bryce will need to contain Tyree and Chuma and Horace will need to do a good job on Davis, their 4 who is coring 15ppg and can step out and hit 3s. Would help a lot if Chuma and Spencer could both have solid nights on the boards.
No question that we can't show up and expect to sleep walk to a W. BPI gives us a 64% odds of winning. KenPom views at as being even tough at 58% with a projected score of 77-74.
It’s just brutal. I’ve managed to make it through the holidays and whatnot but gonna be a long couple days. And of course we can’t play Tuesday like the other SEC squads that didn’t play Saturday.
Y’all have a game thread 3 days in advance. Well done. I pity the beating ole miss will take after losing to Nc state.
My gAUd, I just realized the game is not tonight. I had been mentally preparing all day. I fear I will not be able to make it another day. The BRUCE withdrawals are fierce. Thoughts and prayers appreciated.
I've got the shAUkes real bad. If yall don't hear from me further, you'll know I'm @dead.
At least we know that at the @greg there is life after @dead ...paging @ThrustMaxwell
Gatdamn finally just hours away. I want a clean W tonight gents we deserve nothing less and I’m tired of being overshadowed by that trash UTjr squad.
Bruce needs to unleAUsh Austin tonight. Get him 20+ touches in the paint and we win this thing going away. oulde piss's Romanian 7 footer will foul out in the first half trying to fight off big Austin.
Just got one of those good ole fashioned feelings in my gut that this is gonna be a Jared take over game. 20+ and ten dimes for the mini man
Fairly detailed game preview.

Had a buddy of mine comment yesterday that if you ever want to see @SonofSeaborn smile just mention auburn basketball. Going to be a fun one tonight in auburn arena jr.
wouldn't know, only post at the @GREG
1 - guard the 3... Tyree is getting the pub but Davis, Hinson, and Shuler all hit 37-42% on nice volume
2 - speed up Shuler and turn him over... he’s much better as a sophomore but he was a fvcking disaster last year, and can still be taken advantage of when he tries to do too much
3 - feed Austin and Chuma... no explanation necessary... just fvcking do it and keep doing it
basically, don’t get bombed out of the gym and abuse them in the paint enough that it opens up space for us to at least match - if not outscore - them from 3
Steven’s got this one in the bag

Head boog mod actually doing his job? Or maybe Marcello took this picture?
yeah, I’ve got some catching up to do... I just needed a Lebron “vacation” to South Beach to get into optimal shape before SEC play
Almost boog time gents. Gonna rub one out real quick so I don’t bust to early when the HYGs hit the floor.
Well, well. Was cleared up at the old work place to strike out & buy the $130/face tickets & the client had to work late tonight. I guess I'll just have to settle with keeping up with the greatest Boogs in the world & the most intelligent basketball aficionados this side of the bottom two rows of Cameron Indoor. LETS GET IT ON!!!!!!!!!!!
