OT: 2019-20 boog hoops

Kellerdog in a drunken rage complaining about Auburn’s scheduling so far when we’ve played the favorite to win the Sunbelt and the A10. Goddamn he needs to put the bottle down.
I read that earlier this week. Think he @cookedw were going at it, & all Pete did was call him out about wearing a shirt or something. Alcohol brain disease is real.

He is such an obnoxious clown. He has trashed Bruce on a number of occasions and was one of the loudest doubters when we struggled in the middle of last season. He allegedly played college basketball and thus thinks he is a genius. I assume that had to have been in the 70s against other unathletic white dudes.


How did you get so into basketball
 
Pretty sick field there. Excited about that tournament.
what better way to show our thanks to BRUCE and the HYGs?
I assume @GregMadia is already making preparations for full blanket coverage of this celebration that will include a top ten Orlando hibachi joint list and a feature on Stephen and the HYGs' private "princess experience".

Boogs gained ground in the imperialism map with Tennessee's loss
 
it's some imperialism map. Where you acquire counties that are closest to you if you're undefeated. So when UT lost we acquired the counties closest to us that they had, ark and louisville acquired the one closest to them etc


Nice. That’s what I thought. Thanks for clarifying.
 
Proud to report, Chattanooga is finally showing it proper colors!
 
Per Mark Murphy of TOOS:

AUBURN, Alabama--After taking a four-day break for Thanksgiving following a road trip to Brooklyn, the Auburn basketball Tigers are preparing for their first home game since Nov. 18th with Furman coming to Auburn Arena for an 8 p.m. CST contest on Thursday.

“We practiced Sunday night and got the turkey out of us a little bit and on Monday we worked real hard on Furman,” Coach Bruce Pearl said. “They are a team that won 25 games last year and they were ranked as a top five mid-major team in the preseason and they have everybody back from a year ago.”

Auburn is 7-0 and moved up four spots this week in both the coaches and AP Top 25 polls after defeating New Mexico and Richmond to win the Legends Classic tournament. The Tigers are No. 13 in the coaches poll and one spot behind that in the AP ranking.

Pearl declared that his team continues to be a work in progress as it prepares to play its first home game since Nov. 18th.

“For us, we have to continue to develop our depth,” he said. “We have to get our seventh, eighth, ninth and 10th guys to the point where we don’t drop off as much going to the bench. We are still focused on us.”

Despite being focused inwards, the coach emphasized the Tigers are taking this week’s opponent very seriously. “Furman is one of those teams a lot people don’t want to schedule,” he said of the 8-2 Paladins. “It is a good team that runs good stuff so we are going to have to be sharp.

“They will understand what our (defensive) coverages are and will do a good job of adjusting to that so we will have to adjust during the course of the game,” Pearl pointed out. “Furman is shooting the three-ball well. They are 6-7 across the front line so they have pretty good size with good bounce.”

Auburn features four players averaging in double figures for scoring led by senior guard Samir Doughty’s 19.3 points per contest. Doughty is third on the team in rebounding at 4.9 per outing.

Freshman forward Isaac Okoro is averaging 13.1 points and 4.3 rebounds. Senior forward Danjel Purifoy is next with 11 points and five rebounds per game followed by senior center Austin Wiley at 10.7 points. Wiley, the current SEC Player of the Week, is averaging a team-best 8.6 rebounds per game.
