OT: AUBURN BASKETBALL

Feels pretty good that #10 is a slap in the face. Lol at bama #16. Bubble team at best.

I try not to be AU homer guy and a significant part of me wants them to be decent at hoops because it keeps pressure on AU to not abandon Bruce or turn away from basketball. Our power brokers might stop caring if bama went 3-4 years without seeing the tourney.

I just don't get what anyone sees in that team right now. Especially with Avery's style of play. They still look like a team that wants to muck the game up and win ugly. That worked in the SEC 3-4 years ago outside of games vs UK and UF. I'm just not sure that gets you to .500 in league play now.
 
so in all seriousness...why da fuq do people keep putting UT over AU? Is it just because they went deeper in the tourney and generally finished the season stronger, because i just don't see it.

They have nobody who can create offense. I don’t see that new PG being anywhere remotely on Sextons level. Maybe that transfer they got from Texas is good. I agree I don’t think you can win a lot of games in this league playing prison ball.

It’s bizarre. And they keep calling that scrub Grant Williams “SEC POY” like he didn’t get trashed by a young Chuma when we smoked them in Knoxville.

yeah. John Petty is gonna have to take a MAJOR step up or Kira Lewis is gonna need to be a one and done type player if they're gonna live up to that ranking. I don't see any shooters on that team besides Petty and he was a mess last year

Bc people are overestimating the impact of Stapha’s departure and underestimating the impact of getting Wiley and Purifoy back. That simple. Tennessee didn’t lose a major contributor
 
Gang the thought of what we’re gonna do to UT on Sr night at the Clam. Presumably Austin’s last home game. OMG.

we should be the favorites, regardless of whatever hideous jabronis Kentucky is actually returning for 2nd-3rd years for once

but I’ll accept finishing second to Kentucky before our Final Four run provided we beat the absolute dogshit out of Tennessee as we lock up 2nd place
 
I’m not @Jeffrey Lee by any stretch, but I’m putting all three visitors this weekend on commitment watch. Jaylin Williams and Turbo Jones are the two most likely to join the class at this point, but from what I’ve been told things are really heating up with Massoud and he could end up in the class as well. Either way this is potentially massive weekend for AU hoops recruiting, as we could potentially add 2 to 3 Rivals 150 players, all of the 4 star variety.
 
I'll go down Saturday for some Boog football & take my chances with getting tickets because they will never sell out. I'll sit in the lowers between the 40's and not pay much more than gate price. BUT.... I decided last night that this is ONE event that is a NO MISS, so I got in my Christmas money and choked it up...

Got my FOUR coming gang...

Just purchased mine as well. First row. Upper deck. Can't wait.
 
If Austin is the best player in the league just forget about it and give us the chip. Objectively I take 3 other Boogs over Grant Williams and the rest of that list.
I’d take both Gafford at Ark and Jontay Porter at Missouri over Grant Williams. Williams a solid player but he’s not amazing or anything
 
If any of you guys are not TUF members, bball tickets are now open to the public for the AU vs UAB in Birmingham.
 
gang, has there been any more chatter about that Under Armor sponsored Toomer's Corner midnight madness thing?
 
Are we expecting Chuma to make a big step up this season? When he hits his peak, he could be a monster.
Most definitely. I think he’s pretty clearly our most talented player. Which is saying some thing for a team that’s the favorite to win the Natty. Think he got warn down a bit end of last year having to fill in at the 5. Kid has so much game.
