Hello from Neville Arena where No. 1 Auburn hosts No. 6 Tennessee.

Here are the lineups for the Tigers:

Denver Jones
Miles Kelly
Chad Baker-Mazara
Chaney Johnson
Dylan Cardwell

at LSU. Good thing we are full of seniors. Hard to get over an emotional, physical and mentally draining game. Add that to having to go on the road and play a team that only has 1 SEC win but played bama tough at home. I don’t believe it will be easy at all.

Good morning, Bunker. Caleb woke up in the wee hours with a fever so I am here at Woltosz to provide thrilling updates from a loaded Junior Day. The arrivals are supposed to start around 10 a.m. CT but registration officially starts at 2:30 p.m. and the Jr. Day officially starts at 3 p.m. Many of the visitors will be attending tonight's basketball game.

Don't expect a whole lot of updates until this afternoon but just saw Auburn HS running back Omar Mabson here with his parents. He is significantly bulkier than he was when I saw him at camp this summer. Definitely been putting in the hard work in the weight room. Also, feeling very good about Auburn's chances.

Broderick Shull also just walked through. He recently had elbow surgery.

Will provide updates in this thread as warranted...

UT is better than I gave them credit for, or they played their best game of the year versus Auburn, or both. I’m leaning towards both.

Bruce doesn’t trust Haad defensively.

We still have no true PG. We have two shooting guards playing point. They’re talented enough to pull it off versus nearly all our opponents. Not sure there is another squad on the slate that has the ability to really shut down our production there.

UT’s perimeter defense was only exceeded by ..: Auburn’s perimeter D.

Dylan didn’t play much in the 2nd half for the same reason Haad didn’t play - Bruce didn’t trust him to stay in front of their guards on the perimeter…and knew he’d be a target to be hacked since he can’t shoot FT.

We had many open looks from 3 but it was mental we just didn’t hit and it snowballed. Kelly had ice in his veins tho.

LSU is capable at home. Hope we don’t have a letdown there.

when he threw (slammed) his water bottle on the court? I know it was at a pivot point, but Bruce would have received a Double Technical and sent prison (with hard labor) for 12 months.

was a greasy mcdonald’s floor with everyone slipping and sliding.

Was it still cold in AU or had it warmed? Sometimes ever so slight condensation can be an issue, but the slipperiness was noticeable.

Just got into a big one at the start of the timeout. Something is up. Just left the bench too.

And their real milk chocolate.

Hearing the crush of students to get into Gameday resulted in kids getting hurt; even some broken bones. Any confirmation on this?

that CBM was inbounding the ball. He was the guy i would have been trying to get the ball to on the inbounds. Guy is money at the line and doesn’t mind pressure.

• We now have the #1 overall strength of schedule. Previously, it had been Alabama. Playing Georgia State, Monmouth, and Richmond really hurt our otherwise incredible SOS.
• The average defensive rating of opposing defenses we have played is now #1.
• The average offensive rating of opposing offenses we hav played is now #8.
• Our defensive rating went from 19th to 12th, while our offensive rating stayed at #1.

Bottom line: we are a great team that's played a ridiculous schedule.

Do you think oates sits Sears if they are playing us or Kentucky or any of the top tier teams in SEC? Saw where he is getting a lot of praise for having the guts to sit his star player the whole second half.
I say he doesn’t do that if he’s playing anybody with a pulse.
