Omnibus Thread on SEC Teams...

Hopefully just a rolled ankle but that may cook us.

I'm not sure an ankle can roll that far without tearing ligaments or breaking bones...

 

[AUDub]

Question I have is why is it always at USC these things happen lol. 2017 it was Anfernee wrecking his ankle.

 

[TIDE-HSV]

Well, Pringle's FT stroke looks about the same...

going to say the same thing

Pringle had two free throws to take the lead with 9 seconds left. Yet missed both. Bring back bad memories? Auburn ratcheted up the defense in the 2nd half but were fortunate to escape.

 

[AUDub]

Now we’re on pins and needles for Johni.

 

[day-day]

I caught the last 6 minutes or so. USC guards really stunk it up in what I saw.

I will say this about Auburn and my son and I were talking about it this morning. Auburn is deep and talented but Pearl’s approach allows less talented teams to be in games maybe when they shouldn’t; especially when Auburn is not shooting well. It’s a physical, slower approach that doesn’t maximize number of possessions like Oats’ system does. Greater number of possessions would allow greater talent and depth to prevail. I think that may be why Auburn generally struggles in the NCAA tournament except for the one year they had a bunch of guards who consistently shot it well.

Congrats on the win, Dub. Sorry to see the injury to Johni and hoping for a quick recovery!

The problem since the deep run has pretty much been the guards melting. This year we have more balance there.

Unfortunately our frontcourt may have just taken the biggest hit imaginable.

As soon as I saw him on the free throw line, I told my son it’s in the bag for AU.

Tennessee is turning the ball over a lot tonight.

 

[AUDub]

Tennessee is still reeling a bit from the UF loss.

 

[AUDub]

Fears for OU is one of the great enigmas since we've hit conference play. He was so good in non-conference but just can't get right since SEC play started.

Tennessee has opened up a lead on Texas. Funny thing about that one. Kaluma vs Auburn, 34 points. Tonight, 4.

 

[AUDub]

UK and MSU are tight

 

[AUDub]

UK @ MSU 68-66 at the under 12 of the second. Good game.

 

[AUDub]

So for us we *should* take number 1 in the AP and coaches’ polls come Monday.

Of course the lingering question is the extent of Johni’s injury. We’re still a top half of the SEC team without him but to call his absence a big loss is an understatement. We got lucky with the shoulder. I don’t think we’ll be nearly as lucky here.

 

[AUDub]

Non-surgical ankle sprain. Recovery time is weeks. Thank goodness. There was genuine fear he’d played his last game in an Auburn uniform.

That's great news, brother...thanks for sharing!
