SWEET BABY J!!!!!!! STR8 KILLIN THESE FOOLSSSSSSSSSS
 
Damnit. Needed to D up there and make them hit a shot. Worst thing we could do was give them a quick runner.
 
We may go to the final 4. Our bench and role players are contributing AND, our PG is at his very best right now.
 
Pretty sure we were trying to foul and send them to the line for a 1 and 1 and the refs didn't blow the whistle, then when we fouled them on the 3 they couldn't blow the whistle. College refs are soo bad, first time I ever remember it going in our favor.
 
baby jared is a baller. I hate to say it but we don't have a great shot at winning tomorrow. I'd put it at 30%, will be interested to see the vegas odds.

Still rolling on cloud nine guys. Didn't really care too much about this toruney a week ago. All my boog focus was on the BIG DANCE. But my lord, if Bruce can win back to back SEC titles what a fuggin crazy achievement that'd be. Go ahead and erect a statue of like Ho Daddy flexing and sweet baby J and Bryce angelically sitting on his biceps. So ready for tomorrow

For real. It NEVER goes in our favor. Feels good man.

Also, it’s legit scary how accurate Vegas is

The tourney ship is so much more fun than the regular season ship. I can’t even tell you who the regular season champs were. LSU?

Unreal effort to beat a team that shot 70% for most of the game. To only be down 4 at the half was a great effort. They had us down 9 early and then Jared caught fired to pull us back even and ensure we would not have a big hole to climb out of after the half. Our battle tested vets did not flinch when again playing a team that was playing out of their minds and giving us everything they possibly could. Gators continued to hit everything after the break so we upped the pressure in the 2nd half and started turning them over. Unreal effort 3 days in a row.

I'll hear nothing about the refs at the end. They killed us all day with BS calls in their favor and no whistles on a J drive or Chuma post ups. Bruce pointed out that was a bad play by our guys not to foul before the guy got across mid court so hopefully that's a mistake we learn from. Glad it did not hurt us in the process.

Jared with his 2nd straight incredible performance. Carried us on O in the first half. At the end, he calmly runs the clock down and then delivers the dagger 3 to put us up 4. Having the best PG in the tournament is a huge advantage. 20 points, 5/7 from 3, 4 steals, and only 1 turnover is a fantastic line. The legend of the greatest PG in Auburn history continues to grow.



Bryce was ice cold in the first half, but stayed engaged on D and played like a senior leader. 3 treys and a couple of 2s in the second half were huge.

Samir with another solid game. 8 points on 2/3 (same as yesterday) from 3 with 4 assists. His 3 solid games are a huge reason we will play to cut the nets tomorrow.

Chuma with 9 points, 7 boards and 3 steals. Much better game than yesterday. He was frustrated by double teams much of the day, but he kept coming and had a huge 3 and post up play late to help us pull off the W.

It doesn't show up in the box score, but Austin gave us a huge spark in the 2nd half. When he came into the game, we caught fire. His bucket and then pretty assist for a 3 on back to back possessions was huge. He looks great and we will need him tomorrow to play more than abbreviated minutes to have our best shot to beat UK or UT.

As a team, this was our best 3 point shooting game of the tourney so far. 13/30 for 43.3%. (yesterday we were 13/34 and 12/34 on Thursday) Any doubts about our ability to shoot away from home on a neutral court should be put to rest now. This has been a very impressive 3 day shooting display that has cemented us as the greatest 3 point shooting team in SEC history, further extending our all time record that we set yesterday.

Regardless of outcome tomorrow, take a minute and reflect on what this team has done since February 27th. Going into Athens, we were 18-9 and 7-7 in conference play. We could have easily played our way out of the NCAAT if we had lost 3 of our last 4. Instead, we have won 7 in a row to run our record to 25-9, the third most wins in program history. We are one W short of last year's total and 3 short of the all-time Auburn record from 98-99. This has been an incredible March Madness run from a likely 9 seed to a shot at a 3 seed with a W tomorrow.

Tomorrow, we play for a chance at our 2nd conference tournament title (EDIT, we won in 85) and our 2nd SEC title in a row. Whether its UK or UT, we will need to shoot the ball well from deep for the 4th day in a row. The X factor, imo, may be Austin. He has looked good the last 2 days and I assume he is ready to give us more than one solid shift at the 5. Mac is also going to be a key tomorrow, he knocked down a couple of 3s today, but he has not been great on D. Tomorrow, he and Horace are going to have to man up and contain either Williams or UK's bigs. We have beaten UT and we were one missed shot away from beating UK this year. We know we are capable of beating either team. One more W to cut the nets.

idk wtf the refs were doing... we tried to foul him before the shot and they didn’t call it, so they just didn’t call the rape, er rake, on the actual shot

college basketball is the worst, but I’ll take it

Just making up for that bogus 10 second violation imo. Sucks they try to even out bad calls by making more bad calls.
Feels good to have one go our way, though.

between the 10 second call and the shooting foul where their hideous gremlin kicked Samir and was gifted 3 points, they owed us 1

sucks for the Gators it wasn’t cashed in until 2 seconds left, but oh well
 
Who do you guys prefer to beat the balls off of tomorrow? I kind of want another shot at UK more than another roll in the hay with those ugly assholes from Knoxville.

With all due respect to @Wall2Boogie and the other Blueblood posters here, we will only beat UK tomorrow. Many reasons discussed before. Hopefully they pull it off today, although I think that’s doubtful.

Arguments can be made for either. UK is the better team on paper. I think they also have the lower floor when they are not playing well. Having just beaten UT, they are going to be more motivated by the revenge factor. UK would have drastically more fans there though. Looks like they outnumber the UT fans 10 to 1 right now which is nuts given the game is in Nashville. Place looks like Rupp.

Best thing that could happen is this game to be a war that goes to multiple OTs.
 
I was watching with no sound. Did they give an explanation on the 10 second violation? How did they mess that up
