Better energy today. Hub doesn’t need to pick up 2nd foul this half

Their big guy gets two early fouls, we're living in the paint and nothing. I'm gonna bet he doesn't get another till 17 minutes in the second half.

10 offensive rebounds in 14 minutes. That’s great effort. That’s also a LOT of missed shots. Auburn playing just as bad, but without the offensive rebounds.

This offense of Jans is stuck in the 50s. We have good movement but it doesn’t create a shot for anybody

Both teams are playing great defense. We have got to shoot better. The announcers and SEC Hosts (experts) really love Auburn. I guess we should feel honored to be able to play against them.

Why does Davis see the floor? I would rather Fort to get his minutes. Davis brings nothing offensive or defensive

This has been a really good game. I hope they pull it off. The effort has been there and they deserve this win.

I'm afraid Auburn is too good at the three-point shot to lose If we win, it's gonna be because of our defense and the way we are passing the ball.

I don't complain about the officials much/ever, and I waited until I saw we were going to win to say this, but most of the calls in this game felt like they were thinking "well, it was 50/50 but Auburn is ranked, so let's give them the benefit of the doubt"

We needed to play as a team. Not only that, but we also did a great job involving every player we put on the court. Just a little contribution from everyone (especially on defense) throughout the entire game. We have some talent; today we all saw what happens when they all put forth a good effort.

Now if they can remember this the rest of the season.


Matthews was a beast!

It would also help if he was not out of position on almost every possession. Him standing at the top of the key and having to drive in isn’t his game.
Not sure why that was added into the offense this season- Tolu getting the ball at the top of the key and trying to make something happen.
If the results were tracked, I'm convinced it's a turnover 40% of the time. He then scores 40% of the time, and passes to an open man because he is swarmed by D 20% of the time.
...not a great wrinkle to add in.

There were a couple of pick and rolls mixed in there (really sloppy P’nR on top of that) but the majority of the time is some kind of convoluted iso at the top of the key. Not ideal for him.

Also there were at least two times where Tolu had a one on one matchup down low, gets the ball, and then someone crashes in from outside pulling in another defender creating a double team. Moore did it at least once.
