Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[BigSteve09]

Also, ever since Bruce whined and whined about us "flopping" when we racked up 4-5 fouls on them pretty quickly, they've let Auburn play more aggressive and have rewarded them for just running into the group of humans underneath the basket, even when it isn't a foul

Barnes need to get in their ear

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

They cover a lot of ground and lanes. Slimmest of margins for creation and shots. ZZ playing a hell of a game

Agreed. We need someone to spark some things.

Lanier when we need him:

 

[Smokey123]

He hooked his leg and pulled it.

Ahhh I went back and watched it again I thought it was called on shack so I wasn’t even paying attention to bishop

 

[SoilVol]

This is uuuuuuuugly

Get Okpara, Phillips, and Milicic on screens to get behind Broome and take it HARD to the rack when you do. It worked beautifully when Igor did it but he hesitated got fouled and missed. Okpara is 2-2 and has looked good offensively with Broome on him.

Someone other than ZZ needs to step up offensively. The only other guys being aggressive are Phillips and Gainey, they're just missing.

I don't know if we have the depth/health (for this game) to make it to the end but somehow we aren't down 10 at half and that is a victory given how we've played

Auburn and Florida class of the conference this year?

Jay Williams can eat a bag of d**ks.

Show me another team that holds auburn to 25% and 22 pts in a half.

Barnes gets pissed at him and benches him (rightfully).

I bet we get a flurry of designed plays for him out of the half. He's still not being aggressive and creating offense for himself.

Florida and *checks notes*. . . Andy

 

[DD4ME]

We have rebounded well and (knocks on wood) avoided fouls (aside from igor) while picking several up from them.

 

[AllVol11717]

I think it has more to do with Auburn playing solid D and keeping us guessing than it has anything to do with Barnes' offense.

It’s both. They’re definitely making us earn everything, but our 4 spot hasn’t been much more than a spot to reset a handler’s dribble.

And to be fair I think the problem with Barnes’ offense is mainly just not finding an elite big rather than anything scheme related

Auburn and Florida class of the conference this year?

1 auburn
2 Alabama
3 Florida
4 Tennessee

There's 2 one seeds, and 2 two seeds in that group... Maybe 3 ones....

Broadcast has been treating this as an Auburn showcase.

They must have said we are playing with 4 injured/sick players and only have an 8-man rotation several times. Lots of compliments for Auburn. Eager to see their injured guy come back strong.

They're at Auburn, it's Bruce. They want it to be a thing for Auburn. It's whatever. SECN does this sometimes too.

Guys calling the game 100% expect Auburn to win and have been calling plays and general mood of the game as Auburn's night. Doesn't bother me. They do it for us some nights too.

He’s clumsy when he does.

I'd like to have another Grant & Schoefield

Auburn, Florida, and Alabama have the best offenses hands down.

Bama can't stop a runny nose.

Florida has been inconsistent at times (losing to Mizzou at home).

Auburn doesn't have a lot of flaws.

We're the best defensively. Offense is hit or miss.

 

[DD4ME]

I like the aggression of Okpara, Cade, ZZ, and Gainey.

I dislike the passiveness of Lanier and Igor

He was working that cello like a boss.

Not me. But I do see the resemblance to you.

To be fair, Auburn is an elite team. That we are holding them like this is a testament to us.
