ITT: auBARN basketball will win a natty IF?????

1.) cbm stays locked in. he seemed like he was on the fence most of the night with 3 stupid fouls including just shoving a dude out on the baseline in front of the home plate umpire. he wasn’t contributing much and had bad body language. then he had a couple of strong rebounds under 10 and an assist before nailing that triple and it seemed to light a fire. that dude is probably the best pure shooter on the team and contributed in multiple ways if his head is right. my opinion is this team goes as he does. with pettiford emerging as a bit of a steph curry/michael jordan/pete marovich type, having multiple snipers on the outside will let chaney and broome do work inside.

2.) not forgetting there is a walking bucket underneath in broome. sometimes it seems they forget going inside is nearly automatic and fog up contested outside shots for stretches before settling back to working inside out. with the shooters this team appears to have, running much of the time through broome will provide immediate open looks when teams double him.

3.) keeping everyone happy. i thought this team was talented to begin with, but i think it may be even better than i thought. keeping mouths fed will be BRUCE’s toughest job yet. i think he can do it.

4.) this team is deep, but i still think there’s a place for howard and turtle IF they can get it together. those guys can help spell broome and cardwell down the stretch so we don’t put too many unnecessary minutes on them.

also just a note but the lineup with cardwell, dylan, and johnson is absurd on defense.

Highlight video of tonight’s game…

looks like an Elite Eight game with just these highlights….announcers were impressed….so were the 4 basketball gurus on the Field of 68 tonight…Jeff Goodman saying Bruce Pearl has finally found his perfect point guard….another guy saying Auburn had the two best players on the floor and that was the difference in the game.

What do we think President Trump does in the first 30 days?

I am pretty sure he will attack these in the first 30 days

1. Pardon the majority of the Jan 6 folks and get them out of prison if still there
2. Revere the Title IX rules allowing a male to participate in female sports
3. Find a way to Pardon himself and get himself out of all the silly charges against him
4. Do his community service for NY if he cant get out of the stupid shit there.

Thoughts on those 4? Anything I missed?

Happy thots ...

This team was led by a true freshman. A killer emerged tonight. I really feel for any Auburn fan that didn't get to watch that live. What an amazing performance by both teams.

Sometimes oddball shit makes a difference. Jahki and Ja'Heim being out probably encouraged BP to go against his MO and LEAVE THE BALLERS IN THE ENTIRE SECOND HALF.

Just look at the result.

We gave up 2 open look 3s to Houston all night. Both were nailed.

Houston didn't really run much offense. Lots of individual creating, midrange shots, the kind most miss. UH didn't miss them, nor did they miss FT.

As physical as that game was, the refs balanced it out in the 2nd half. I was impressed with that. I expected us to get totally f'd over.

Pegues quite obviously wasn't used to that level of ball pressure and he kind of froze up. Haad, being a freshman, didn't know not to ball teh fook out of his brain and be timid. He caught Houston off-guard with his quickness. They didn't put a hand in his face until about 5 min to go. Other teams will watch that film and learn. Against other opponents, that'll mean the guards getting a ton of clean looks. A versatile PG is worth his weight in gold. Ask Mark Sears.

I'm just jazzed as heck. I'd have only been slightly less jazzed if we had lost. That was a heavyweight bout. Neither team backed down.

I love this for Bruce. You could tell he really, REALLY wanted this, no matter what he said. But you also note that Coach Sampson shook Bruce's hand and didn't complain about the loss. Respect earned and respect given.

We would have missed JH exactly once...that oop to CMo would have been JH and he wouldn't have missed it, would have rattled teeth all along the baseline with that one.

WDE onward and upward.
