A trash but scrappy club on deck for our Boogs. I was close to getting tix to this one but had something come up. In any event should be just another convincing W.

I’m offended that we are even having to play this game
We bout to break it off in em.
Frank Martin will have a stroke at mid court 5 mins into the first half.

Weird matchup here. They have a good inside game. Silva and Cotsar are going to give us problems if their guards can get them the ball. Their guards aren't great. Booker is their best shooter from the perimeter. They play really tough defense, but I'm not sure their guards can stop our guards.
We should win this game, but I could see a scenario where we don't shoot well and they have a great day and give us a scare. An odd stat I heard from a few nights ago. SCar is 349th in opponent blocked shots on the season. They're allowing other teams to block 5.35 of their shots per game. Surprising to me considering the size of Cotsar and Silva.

They're a scrappy bunch that plays hard every night. Gives them a chance against teams that don't. Too bad we do. Their best player is basically a Horace Spencer clone. That says more about how good we are than a knock on Silva.
Is this what you are looking for?
MASH
Boogs now #4 in RPI, 6-3 in Q1 games. Boogs 11-3 in Q1 and Q2 games combined. Cocky at 4-13.
Boogs are 1-3 this season on days ending with a 7. Lost 11/17, 1/17 and 2/7. Beat LSU on 1/27. So how does this affect the Boogs' chances against Frank Martin's ugly squad on 2/17? It doesn't. Boogs by 13.
Someone posted this on the bunker. Auburn has won 18 of 23 games this year by double digits. Only 3 games, all OOC, have been closer than 7. MTSU, UAB, and Murray St were all within 6 points.
Blown out 3 of their last 4. Played UT tough on the road, but UT has seemed to hit a bit of a wall IMO. Don't look like the same hot team from 3-4 weeks ago.
We'd have to play really poorly. I keep waiting for that game to happen where we just can't hit shots and also play bad defense and just look like we're tired or disinterested or both. I probably should trust this team more than to think we have that left in us. So far we've proved that we aren't that kind of squad...we're going to at least hustle and play hard every night. If we do that we probably can beat USCe even with a poor shooting day.

Call me crazy but I hate this game. Hope to be mocked mercilessly on Sat.
Thanks, That's exactly what I as looking for.
IMO this is the best chance we have for a letdown game. On the road coming off an emotional win against a desperate opponent who is known for their defense. Plus, getting more national attention could have us overlooking them.
Effort is something we’ve always shown this year. And we’re more talented. Bruce continues to find ways to motivate these guys. As long as we show up and play as hard as we have all year, I think we will be fine.
I did check the distance on Google maps, but a little over 5 hour drive to get there is outside of my Boog limitations right now.
We got thoroughly debacled last year in Columbia. I'm sure Bruce is using that little chestnut. They just have no talent whatsoever and I don't see anything they can do that could give us any issues. I'm thinking we're more motivated than them playing for boog history.
Shouldn't have a motivation problem with a SEC title in the balance. Every single win is huge right now. Every time we put up a W the odds of winning a title get dramatically better for us and the guys chasing us get more discouraged. I worry about us overlooking someone but then when you look at what's on the line it's hard to see that happening. Too much at stake now. Too close to the hardware.
Who is traveling with the team to start the FBI chants?
Boogs are only favored by 6. That’s free money people.
I wouldn’t say no talent whatsoever. Silva is a stud, and a handsome one at that. Would fit in well as a rotational player for the boogs. The rest are pure garbage and couldn’t walk on to our scout team.
More fuel for the fire....

Boogs by 13 today. SCar is another squad like the Cats who I haven’t watched one second of their games, but feel very confident the Boogs are the superior squad. Hope Bryce can D up a little more agggressively today
He said that but I didn’t feel the confidence. I still just don’t see how we can let his job be in jeopardy when all these other programs are implicated. Don’t like putting faith in Boog U admin and the NCAA though.
The scary part to me refers to the wire taps. My new theory is that if someone goes to trial and those wiretaps come out, someone (potentially us) is going to be in trouble. If pleas are made and the wiretaps never comes out, then everyone that isn't already punished skates.
I guess I had a different view of it - I thought it was a decent segment. Maybe the only unsettling thing is that the internal investigation is ongoing still as we’re all ready for it to be over.
This is auburn. Expect the worst. I won’t feel good about Bruce being our coach until the first game next season with him on the sidelines.
Yeah. The whole point that he wouldn’t be coaching if there was anymore to the story makes sense. My guess is he knows there’s more to the story but he’s confident that it won’t come out
Yikes I been banned from the cocks board. Can’t even read it. Makes me respect the UK board a little more I guess.
Good luck today Tiger fans,Auburn should win this game.Siva when on mentally and physically is a load to handle in the paint.I believe he had his best or one of better games against Kentucky.
