So,… how specifically do we match up with this auburn team? Any thoughts out there from some of you bucket analysts/ aficionados ?
The pg position is pretty even, Harper is really fast with the ball like Dotson.
Brown is an advantage for them, he made over 120 3s, cant even attempt to let him get good looks and he will take them regularly.
Their x factor is Okeke who likely will see Lawson on D. His inside out game can really make a difference for them and they run some high ball screen action with him like Ku does with Dedric.
Auburn likes to run, shoot the 3 and force turnovers. They are not a tall team but they have as good or better athletes then we do. A few good shot blockers too. They dont defend that great by the metrics so the key is probably limiting turnovers. They are not a great rebounding team either.
All 5 shoot it and their bench so if you see guys sagging off they should just find a bench, everyone should know they Jack a ton of shots

I’m scared

Good gawd…watching uk and wofford. Could the media be more bias? They are calling plays for uk before they even make a play. Herro shot a ball and they get all giddy and think its going in from his hand. The ball hits the side of the backboard. They are having tv affairs with uk right now. They can’t shut up about uk.
uk is so damn lucky right now…if the McGee kid hits half of his threes uk goes home
-
Baylor can beat the Zags
KU can beat Auburn
EMAW…WAIT…WHAT HAPPENED? Oh they didn’t have Wade? But how many of you remember the nasty B12 fans that gave KU NO excuses being without Doke? Or DeSousa? Remember all those nasty fans that said it should make NO difference? Well, karma is a beeotch, bitches. Now talk your shat.
The B12 fan was an ISU fan if I remember correctly. The purple pussies are always talking smack. The highlight of their year is beating KU and storming the court.

@truehawk93 KSU made the E8 without Wade last year.
-
KU 79 - Auburn 69

Alas, the king of the remote is defeated: CBS has figured out how to send all games to commercial at the same time. The bastards.

I believe there was an issue with Papa Waters.

see Jesse’s breakdown. Doesn’t hold out hope and even though we are a 2 pt dog, sees Auburn covering. Shades of ISU?

I’m scared too. Don’t like being late game.
-
@approxinfinity giving Marcus time to recover
-
Maybe this is a game when grimes finds his stroke…
-
We need everyone to show up tonight. Bill has been pushing buttons all season. Just have to hope he can put it all together tonight.

Better than the before noon game. Those rarely go well.
Let’s get this sucker going already!!!
-
Self said Marcus got out of bed today, will play him in spurts. Doesn’t sound to good and he didn’t look good walking in
-
@Crimsonorblue22 We could sure use his defense today.
-
I think the key tonight is Agbaji. Need a 23 point, 5/7 from 3 type game.
-
We can only hope they come out playing like they did with NE. Not too many turnovers and defending the perimeter. KJ could be a big help if Marcus is not better. Rock Chalk
-
Guess my Nova pick over an over-rated Purdue wasn’t so good.
-sorry thought I was in the other games thread
-
@dylans Same.

what time is our tip? Midnight?

Ahhh but we don’t live in the past - - this is NOW - -that was then - -didn’t make out of the 1st round this year without Wade if I remember right did they? - I don’t feel the least bit sorry for those bunch. - -I agree 100 % with @truehawk93. - - Guess their fame to game is sharing the Big 12 conference title - Good for them. Last year I was thinking about being the Pope too - if we wanna live in the past - -they are exactly where they belong
-
So midnight Nova Scotia time. Thankfully I’m in Lawrence.
-
My key to the game is turnovers. Auburn is going to get their shots up, we just need to make sure we give them as few as possible.
-
@dylans You should have asked the resident big 10 fan!
-
So I think the two BIG things for possible win. - -We just HAVE to be able to defend the 3 - - -AND - - we have to take care of the ball - -keep the dam turnovers to a minimum. - I think they said Auburn is at the top or near the top of turning opposition over - we can not turn the ball over senseless. - -they gonna pressure a lot - -getting close to go time - - -the motto? - -"Taking care of business " -they been talking trash - -so let’s give em some trash. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
@DanR Crazy that they play a game between a west coast team in Gonzaga and a midwestern team baylor before a game between and east coast and midwest team. Auburn has the right to be a bit upset about the game time, at least for their fans.
-
Turnovers, rebounding, transition D, hot shooting (by us), cold shooting (by them), and Dotson and Dedric tearing it up from inside and out. That’s my key to the game.
-
I also don’t think we should run our set offense. Just fast break every possession and wing it.
-
Man I would just like to see this team make shots with confidence.
-
OCHAI - - - -OCHAI - - - OCHAI - - OCHAI, - -we have to have much of OCHAI - -would be great to maybe OCHAI AND QUENTIN BOTH BE ON ON THE SAME NIGHT. - -we need both to help for sure. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY - -let’s do this
-
Must make open shots tonight fellas
-

Big Dave is my hawk to rock. Release the secret weapon!
-
Surprised Pearl is going with the full court press. Falls into my plan to not run our set offense
-
Looks like we didnt come to play
-
Right now they appear too quick for us.
-
To listen to the announcer we don’t have a chance in this game.
-
Auburn looks WAY more athletic.
-
hyperventilating. We’ll calm down
-
Big Dave came to play

Runs

Nice Dave
