I'm not sure what to do about the backup PF position behind Chaney, but Broome is unstoppable as a center.

Good evening, folks. Auburn is 1-0 on the season after its win over Vermont on Wednesday, and now it is Saturday and it is playing No. 1 Houston at the Toyota Center. Nothing happened in between those days, I'm sure. Tip is scheduled for about 9 pm CT. The game is airing on EspnU
Anyways, your starters tonight are:

G - JP Pegues
G - Denver Jones
F - Chad Baker-Mazara -- exonerated
F - Johni Broome
C - Dylan Cardwell

We missing free throws and they hit two 3 point shit shots at the buzzer.

Wde

He’s not improved one bit. That was a 5 point swing. Awful. Has CBM even scored?

Just updated!!

Good luck all

Broome and Chaney were the ONLY guys to miss a FT tonight. Sucks a couple were on the front end, but they are our bigs…. We’ll be fine…. Quit whining. Guards and Wings went 8 for 8 including the clutch ones that mattered at the end.

40-0!

the PG curse gentlemen.

My goodness what a win.

This team is going to be special. Savor it while it lasts.

And screw football. This is where it's at.

DRAG THEM NUTS all over Holloway.

• Bruce: *looks at Johni* "I love this guy." *Looks at Tahaad* "I'm falling in love with this guy."
• Bruce: "We have stuff to work on, we're going to get better."
• Tahaad: "We preached all week it's a 40 minute game, not a 20 minute game."
• Johni Broome on Tahaad Pettiford: "Man he's special... it felt so good to see him hit big shots."
• I asked Bruce Pearl how they were able to limit LJ Cryer and Houston's offense in the second half and he immediately credited Denver Jones:"Denver Jones is one of the best defensive guards in the country and no one talks about it... he wants to win." He also credited Chris Moore and Chaney Johnson and said that Auburn won the front court battle

That’s all for BP

looks like.

Thank you, Tahaad. It’s been a while since I’ve seen a guard at AU rise to the occasion in a big game.

7-2 ga...built with HS kids and few portal
7-2 CO....built totally with portal
8-2 ole sis .....built totally with portal
7-2 bama......built with HS and few from portal

Neon has his team looking very good against average teams in an average league. I didn't want him at Auburn and still don't, but he has done what he said he would accomplish. Make CO competitive. I don't know what will happen when his son leaves for the NFL. But I suspect CO's football program has made more money in the last 24 moths than it did in the total 4 years prior to his arrival.

What are you thoughts on these records. And who wins GA vs Tenn?

He said rotation be damned, and played the best five on the court. It's going to be a hell of a year ladies, and gentlemen. WAR DAMN EAGLE!!!!!!!!!!

This team has the IT factor

Huge win

Hutt hutters don’t lose and the round ballers played the toughest D we’ll see all year and came out with a W.

Petiford is gonna be fun to watch ladies.

#1 point, great game young man.

It’s GREAT TO BE AN AUBURN TIGER! It’s basketball season fellas, and there’s no better way to start it then THAT RIGHT THERE!

The best part was when they realized the Pettiford is a star and started forcing the ball out of his hands like he was Luka on a heater! A freshman on the road vs the #4 team in his 2nd game!

WDE!!!

Like this post if you love Bruce Pearl.

Tahaad dropped his NUTS on the best defensive team in the country.
