IMO, it is. They draw better then the 4,000 a game in Cowtown

We're talking overall basketball program. Not just get on a roll and beat you a few times over the last couple of years. Alabama has a better basketball program than Auburn. Now I will say that they stepped up by building a new arena, but Bama IS a much better basketball program by far when you compare history and then also look at the potential.

And Lebo ain't going anywhere. rtr

 

[Tidetwin]

I agree with you if you look at our respective histories but they have beat us more that we have beat them over the past 2-3 years.

I think that Jeff Lebo has seen the "writing on the wall" as of the hiring of Anthony Grant!

LD, CJL has been a pretty stand-up guy and coach in a place with no tradition or enthusiasm for the sport. Basketball matters in Richmond so VCU might just be the place for him.

True (thanks to CMG)....but that doesn't make them a better basketball program as a whole. We are not a step down from VCU and neither is Auburn when it boils down to it. But Auburn, however could be debated.

Lebo is a quality coach. Aubie will be lucky to keep him.

I didn't say that he wasn't a "stand-up guy", but I he is still at API.

I hope auburn keeps uncle Fester as long as he wants to stay. I think xCMG is better than Lebo.:BigA:RTR.

You surely couldn't tell it by the record. If CMG had stayed, we'd be concerned with more than the thumb.

auburn just lost one assistant to tennessee state.....if Lebo goes, they'll be getting a late start on their coaching search
