yeah. kind of. But he's played 3 full years and was a starter for a season and a half I believe. Thought he'd at least logged a few sometime. Guess he didn't.

Horace had a stretch of 3 consecutive games last season where he was either one point or one rebound away from notching a dub dub. And then he almost had one against clemson. Really doesn't matter. But hopefully he gets some more this season. Cuz we definitely need his rebounding
I think I may love Bruce more than Auburn itself.
We had 66 rebounds last night, 23 offensive boards!
I know I do.
I thought we looked like shit for most of the game. After the 25-2 (which even then was a little sloppy), we looked like we just shut it down and started freelancing. Had a solid stretch of play after they made their little run to start the second half too.
None of that matters to me though. It’s almost impossible for this team to have the same type of mental focus against that D2 team that they will have on Monday against Xavier, especially after the fast start. Wiley looking more comfortable, is staying healthy, and the solid start were all I really cared about.

There was also the 35-0 run in the second half
our offense was still pretty trash for most of it... we’d just keep rebounding until someone finally got one to drop
the most encouraging part was that the defensive intensity picked up the longer the run went... I was begging BRUCE to get Ho Daddy on the bench before he rolled up someone’s leg diving for loose balls up by 45+... but that same intensity is why he’s so important to the team, so you have to be willing to turn him loose... every rebound he grabbed last night he just got wound up even more
it was breath. taking.
What's crazy is, as bad as we looked at times (at least to me) last night, our offense still scored 100+ points. We had 23 offensive rebounds and created a bunch of turnovers, which was mainly the reason for the point total being so high. But KenPom has us as the #10 adjO offense. TeamRankings has us as the #5 team in offensive efficiency. Is it possible our standards/expectations are too high? I still think we could've played a cleaner, more efficient offensive game, but maybe it's not all that bad and we just want too much at times.
Pretty sure 2 points and 4 of his rebounds came in a 7 second span when he was practically passing it off the backboard to himself until one went in
yeah, each time the announcers mentioned his rebound totals I’d think “uh, that seems low” then they’d show his numbers and he’d have 3 more than they thought because he was getting them 2-3 at a time missing his own putbacks
LOVE THAT DUDE THOUGH
