Answer 8

12

and for the life of Brian...please figure out something to do when you have the last shot other than let Walker yank an unconscious shot. The success rate is like 10 percent.

Answer 9

Florida plays down to their competition so bad, another team that usually can't hit the goal on shots shooting 3's like the Spurs. The 2nd half won't even be close like the Bama game

Originally posted on Gator Sports Forum by 46885.

Answer 10

They always get scored on before the half, it has always been like that since Billy has been there. If you went back and looked at it over the last 10 years it would shock you

Answer 11

I don't get it...how can a senior guard ...with the ball in his hands for the last shot, take THAT shot at THAT time and leave the door open for them to score to close out? It was an awful decision.

Answer 12

You know what type of game it is when Walker leads the Gators in rebounding...by a LARGE margin.

at the 15 min mark

Young - 2
Walker - 6

Answer 13

Karl Hess sucks

Answer 14

We are jacking up a lot of 3s. Half of them have gone down. If we did not turn the ball over and if we had a PG that could dish an assist, we would be killing them

Answer 15

Beal is such a heady player...love that kid.

Answer 16

Walker headed to double digit rebounds? Has that ever happened?

Originally posted on Gator Sports Forum by Tampa Gator.

Answer 17

Auburn is dead tired, need us to win by at least ten. This is exactly like the Bama game

Originally posted on Gator Sports Forum by 46885.

Answer 18

Murphy is REALLY developing.

Billy extending his bench too. Larson and Prather starting to get significant minutes.

This team is starting to grow and gel.

Wow.

Originally posted on Gator Sports Forum by Ghost of Spaceheater.

Answer 19

Murphy is ballin tonight, Young is a now show, and Walker is 2 rebounds short of his first double double.

Originally posted on Gator Sports Forum by SwampMaster.

Answer 20

Oh and MJ, Walker has five assists.

Originally posted on Gator Sports Forum by Ghost of Spaceheater.

Answer 21

Final rebound stats:

Young - 4
Yeg & Murph - 5
Beal - 6
Walker - 7

W.....T......F?!

It's the amazing upside down world.

Originally posted on Gator Sports Forum by Tampa Gator.

Answer 22

Yep. He had an excellent. Seven RB and five assists. Three TOs. Like with the Bama game, he had a much better second half than first.

Originally posted on Gator Sports Forum by MJWilliamson.

Answer 23

True for the whole team.

Like it or not, as Walker goes the team goes.

Answer 24

It would be nice to win the rest of the games on the schedule but that last games doesnt look so promising. Any ideas on where well be seeded for the tourney?

And it figures, I live in Lawrenceville like 45 minutes from UGA. I wanted to make a trip there when they play this weekend. I somehow forgot and plannned a trip to Gainesville for the weekend. Well I wanted to see a baseball game too so it works.

Answer 25

The latest bracketology had us as a 4 seed. I think that happens if we win 1 of 3 in the last 3 and at least 1 SEC tourney game.

Originally posted on Gator Sports Forum by Tampa Gator.

Answer 26

Projections have us anywhere from 4-6. Realistically closer to 3 than 7, if that makes sense.

We can still get a 3 seed. Georgetown lost today (they're projected in the majority of places as a 3 seed) to a bubble Seton Hall team. If we beat UGA and Vanderbilt, lose to Kentucky at home and then in the SEC tournament finals, we can get a 3 seed. If we beat Kentucky once, we WILL get a 3 seed.

Answer 27

Nothing encapsulates our pre-Donovan basketball history better than the fact that when he got here Auburn held a 29 game series lead on us.

AUBURN. 29 GAMES.

Has anyone ever confused Auburn with a real basketball team, because I know I haven't.

Just hoping Donovan stays, well, forever.

Answer 28

Charles Barkley?

Answer 29

Answer 31

I've given up on trying to figure out why Young can't rebound.

I know Lunardi has us as a #4 seed. I actually think we are the last #3 seed, so borderline #3/#4, however with Yeguette out we may be looking squarely at a 4/5 seed now.

Answer 32

2003 was actually the last time Auburn was good in men's basketball. Auburn lost to Syracuse in the Sweet 16 that year. Syracuse went on to win the national championship with Carmelo Anthony that year. Aubutn basketball has stunk most of the time and the fans dont even care...which is a big part of the reason the basketball program does stink

Wow, I didn't realize we lost Yeguette. We'll be out rebounded every game from here on out. That just ruined our season.
