tigeraddikt 1,737 Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 That s*** is on Bruce. He had no business giving Wendell the ball on that possession with the game on the line. Arky last possession and last possession of this 1st half Green was clueless. I love Bruce and wouldn’t trade him for anything, but that was stupid.

Also glad somebody created a game thread before me and screwed with the mojo. I'm honestly so pissed at Wendell right now I can't speak. War eagle Was just thinking the same damn thing. We haven't won in Gainesville since 1996 and never score 70 there but someone HAD to start a game thread other than you. I am so pissed off at Green and Bruce because Zep should have been in there running the point to end the game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUatHeart 641 Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 I hate to say it, but this team is regressing. We are more than likely going to get another L at UT. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigers23 687 Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 (edited) This team eill be hard pressed to get past the round of 16 with the guard play that we have. No shooters, bad decisions, no perimeter defense. Need to step up recruiting at the guard spot Edited February 19, 2022 by tigers23 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScotsAU 1,390 Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 Ya know. I’ve never bought into conspiracy theory crap. But I’m more and more noticing that officiating seems to follow whatever is best for the conference at a given time. Two key no calls in the closing seconds, that would’ve probably won us the game. But Florida winning was better for the conference I guess. Eff the SEC and Eff the folks in the stripes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoALtiger 4,068 Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 We are not the complete team many have made us out to be. There are flaws that can be exploited and when that happens we are a completely different team. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUinMS9528 1,086 Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 Green’s execution on the last play cost us the Arky game too. As good as Jabari and Kessler are, our guards are going to keep us from making a very deep run!!! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dual-Threat Rigby 9,156 Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 I don’t think it’s a stretch to say we have the worst guard play out of any contender currently, and I don’t see how it gets much better with the literal zero margin of error we have now going forward. This is unfortunately the pendulum with Pearl’s philosophy (at least at Auburn). The guards consume so much of the offense 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s why the turds were able to score in on their last drive of the iron bowl to send it to overtime. Refs refused to call the four obvious penalties against them on that drive. What can we do? 🤷♂️ I’ve noticed the last four or five of our games, we just are not allowed to play as physical as the other team. We have to separate to avoid foul calls while the other team gets to maul our guys. It’s beyond tiring to watch one team have to play with a handicap.

Dunndone414 474 Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 Obviously a terrible final play from Wendell (again), but this game was lost long before that possession. We were lucky to get that shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kennypowers 1,431 Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 At least we know we'll be 2-2 the rest of the year. SEC tourney probably won't be pretty. End up a 3 seed. Team went the wrong direction at the wrong time. Shame. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
au302 2,669 Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 Love BP, but not his finest coaching at the end of the game with timeout use and that last play. WG has shown multiple times that he is not the guy to handle late clock situations. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarEagleHunter1221 1,710 Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 This ain’t a one game thing though. The guards have had a horrible shooting percentage for many games in a row now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randman5000 4,280 Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 Offense HAS to run through Jabari first and Kessler second in moments like that. He can get his shot off anywhere on the floor or get a foul. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tgrogan21 6,198 Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 I get that Wendell was great early season to close out games but he's just not anymore. I don't think Zep stepped on the court again after those BS fouls. That's ridiculous to take your best perimeter defender out for the last 7-10 minutes of the game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTNupe11 2,128 Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 This one is on Bruce. I’ve been saying it. Wendell will cost us games with his turnovers and lack of decision making. You have 7 seconds left and don’t even throw up a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good thing I'm not the coach, Jabari would only be on the bench 2 mins per game lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
