So we’re a 5 seed in the sec tourney? Not the worst thing in the world. Get to play either Uga or Missouri and then the usc. I can deal with that

The long time au b-ball fans deserve this win, Bruce, and a top program. Congratulations to us all.
Still awaiting post game Bruce comment, "This one's for the GREGGERS!"
Plus UK and UT will be on the other side. We could easily play Sunday with a chance to move way up on the seed line.
Samir is a good shooter. 43% from 3 on the season on 77 attempts. 86% FT shooter. He's averaging 1.5 steals per game and it feels like he averages 5 deflections. He's got really quick hands. You just don't want to see him have to elevate or move laterally with elite guards. That's a bad situation.
I like him as a bench guy. I think he brings something different and his steals/deflections help with that group on the floor. Gets us some easy points when we are struggling and he hits corner 3's at a great rate.
With the inevitable shellacking that LSU will put on Vandy tonight, I think my hunch may just come through. Obviously the Will Wade Tigers will wrap up the conference championship tonight, and according will get the more inevitable asterisk that they will be due. Which means the game in the CLAM today was to break last years co-conference Championship. Which also means I can hang my “Back to Back” banner that I purchased the day the Maui Invitational was announced. Is this not how the Basketball Gods will review the situation? I see no other way.
Danjel coming back. Hope he gets into shape this offseason
Really the best case scenario. Hopefully pick up an easy W and then play the weakest of the top 4. Win 2 and we’ve got a shot at a 4 seed for NCAAT. Knock if LSU in the semis and a 3 seed is in play. Crazy how quickly fortunes can change when you get hot late in the year. Exact opposite of last year.
My language was not PG the whole time. I unleashed a chain of profanity when they called the block on sweet baby Jared that would have made a 1980’s liquored up Pat Dye blush.
My blood pressure was on a roller coaster of love.
Great game and glad I was able to sit next to fellow Duke @WDE_Tarp ! Totally random of all the folks to sit next to. He complimented my high basketball IQ, lol. Anyway, McCormick was AWESOME today.. Chuma took over the game the second half. He was amazing. I was so happy for Bryce, what a way to finish your career at home. Dunbar has some great moments. Daniel, total non factor. Ho Daddy was rock solid. Ant was getting after it. Samir with a HUGE 3 as the play clock went to zero. Harper with a strong finish. Great team effort. Keep feeding Chuma, play McCormick more.
Anyone not bant go over to tbb, and see if they watched the game today?
Yes, and some are ripping our PG that had 16 points and 8 assists
Well meathead did say JVon had a great game.
Jesus Christ. So glad I don't read that trash board anymore.
Capn Douchenozzle..... Shouldn’t he be on a boat somewhere in the Arabian Sea?
Forgot to give my sitting next to @demeat summary. First of all, I cant even begin to imagine what the odds of him buying tickets next to me off the internet are without knowing they would be next to me. Secondly, it was nothing like him during the games online. Basically only had positive things to say. Made intelligent observations during the game. Only real hot take was when the starters came in for the last 3 or 4 minutes of the game he made a comment about maybe needing to leave J'von in and keep Jared at the 2, because he had provided us a spark.
ALL PRAISE BE UNTO BRUCE.
Not sure if this goes here but who do we want to play on Sunday? UT or UK? I’m voting UK. And not just because of our fellow BlueBlood brethren on this board. I just think that’s our best chance at winning. Hard to beat a good team three times in a row.
After I said that Jared played really well. He calmed down. He was pressing for a bit offensively today but ended really strong. He sat for a long time which had to be a mixture of fouls and also some questionable shot selections. Today was a TOTAL team win. The only “name” player that didn’t do much was Purifoy. Everyone else had huge moments.
Damn. Dr Dre beat. That’s the first time I think I’ve heard them use a big time song that I recognize
They almost forgot about Dre
They are jealous of him being better looking.
I think we can beat Tennessee even when they are on, I don't know if we can beat UK if they're on. OTOH, sometimes UK dicks around and plays bad and Tennessee is pretty consistent. I just hope we make it to Sunday

My feelings about this are kind of stupid sounding...imagine that. I think UT is an Elite Eight or Final Four team this year regardless of what happened today. I don’t think we were losing to anybody today in the Clam. I feel like we could’ve and should’ve beaten UK at home. The second game was just a case of things snowballing against us. I feel like a Sunday game vs UT brings out their best as they fight for a 1 Seed. UK in the finals, after beating UT, is a 1 Seed regardless and they would be overconfident against us after sweeping the season series.
As far as making it to Sunday, I feel very confident. Can’t wait for that Friday matchup against USCe. 20+ pt win for our boogs.
Mine went along the lines of You Motherfvcking Piece of Shit Son of a Bitch. And that was some of my more civil comments.
I lived up north too long. I’m quite sweary because of it. No apologies for it either.
On another note, my nephew and my cousin’s son sat right behind Bryce’s (we assume) grandmother. Immediately after the final buzzer, Bryce came into the stands to hug her. My nephew got good video of the hug and him heading down the stairs back to the court. Both boys screaming “Thank you, Bryce” at him.
Such a cool moment for them.
I’ve not watched this kid play any this year. What I learned today is he’s the whiniest pvssy I’ve seen play in a while. He’d be bitching at a ref because he felt air on his arm when somebody ran by him and there wasn’t a foul called. I didn’t take long before many of my profanity-laced rants were directed at him.
I’ll pass.
Looks just like Mike Milligan in Fargo season 2
Just watched the replay. A few things:
FIVE FUGGIN TURNOVERS
Dr C is a god. He’d score 30 a game if he got the GW treatment from the refs
Ho Daddy has gone from one of the most maddening AU players of all time to one of my favorite AU players of all time in the last year and a half
Bruce drug his big hairy nutsack all over Rick Barnes forehead in the 2nd half
JVon is turning into a stud pony
As it turns out, I do love Samir after all
Rod is insufferable, but Sonny is a treat

bracket definitely opens up for us... not sure how I feel about playing 4 games in 4 days, especially against 2 squads full of oafs that could trip and fall into anyone at any point in time or break an orbital socket because they can’t control their arms, before we even get to the matchups that can help with seeding
but fvck it... we’re slowly starting to get this thing rolling... and with Chuma carrying more of the shot creator role - and J’Von giving more good minutes - Jared and Bryce aren’t going to have to run themselves into the ground, they just have to close out games and nail them shut at the end
it’s been uglier than I expected - and took later than I’m comfortable with - but we really are on the verge of peaking at the perfect time
Hey random question but how good are the UK videos after games? I’m not being a homer but for real.. the AU video guys knock it out of the park all the time. Legit professional type vids.
Idk if you guys knew about the above the rim broadcast but I didn’t and just found it out. It’s the cameras above the goals with just sounds of the game and no talking. It’s awesome. You can hear the players chirping sometimes. Chuma got fouled and yelled “and 1” when he scored. Love it
Usually they are pretty good shit. I enjoy what I see
