Was thinking the same about the learning part ... Hopefully we can learn from it and dominate consistently in the rest of our games. The other team did exactly what they needed to do to win today, we didn't.

We should never shoot that poorly at Coleman.
A little when it comes to us. Never seen us play like that this year. Cut it to one and then they played like three year olds. Strange for Bama to play that way.
Congrats, @AUDub - big win!
Sorry to my Bama friends - tough loss. The 3 pt shooting just wasn't there tonight. I chalk it up to nerves. You have a lot of great basketball yet to play and will do well....hang in there!!!

Positives
We only had 7 turnovers.
We out-rebounded them.
Negatives
3 point shooting
Unable to get some turnovers and get out in transition.
Not finishing at the room with some easy misses
The high ball screen defense was atrocious and we never changed it. You can’t just keep droping back and letting guard shoot or drive to the goal. Teams will watch film on this so we need to adjust either by jumping out or at least hedge it to allow our guard to get back in position to give them a chance.

A couple of observations about Auburn. They are awfully handsy on defense. When it gets called tighter in the NCAA tournament, it may come back to bite them.
Broome is a great college player. He is not an NBA player. He has no shot. He’s not athletic enough and not a good enough shooter from the outside to overcome that. That’s why he stayed at Auburn; to make NIL as long as he can. Him and Sears are in the same boat but with different deficiencies. He better enjoy this while he can.

Fitting that they won by 9. The got out to a quick 9 point lead at the start and then every time Bama cut it to 1 score they got it back to 9 soon after.
Like last year; we are not playing good defense and when the shooting is off a bit; we have a problem. We scored 85 and lost bye 9. Our D got better in the tournament last year; will need to do the same this year to make a run. No team has won the Championship since 2002 that was not top 25 in scoring D. We were ranked 327, before giving up 94 today.
I can’t agree with this more. This team needs to understand that defense does “stir the drink” for you when shots aren’t falling. A steal here for a quick basket, a blocked shot there and next thing you know the offense begins to find a rhythm and shots fall.
I’ll believe it when I see it. The last few tournaments have been won by the team that combined elite athleticism with physicality.
Auburn shot well from the three; too many uncontested shots. Broome is the real deal but I didn't realize he was a bit of a jerk; most players that good just go about their business.
A few more very tough games remaining but I'm looking forward to the rematch at Auburn.

When the three's are not falling we are just a above average team, but when they are we can beat anyone, I think we lose at least two more games, Ute ( will not get a single call) and at the Barn, but the Missouri game is very critical so we need to be focused
He’s an NBA. Maybe not a great one, but he is one. I hate to say it but with the way the NBA is, I could go in and give them double digits.
Pretty sure you’re an Aubie. But with Auburn, it’s just as much as showing disrespect to the other team and crowd as it is celebrating their team’s success. They were doing the Crimson Crane, the “too small” gesture, the thumbs down thing when Sears turned it over, and even got into it with a lady in the crowd. And that’s all a reflection of Bruce Pearl. It’s well documented about his lack of character and his teams mirror that lack of class.
Now, do you see Bama players doing all that?
