Just some keys to the game for Auburn IMO
All 5 guys on the floor must rebound on defense we just can't afford to let them get 2nd and 3rd looks.
Getting back on defense after a missed shot. Broome and CMB have a bad habit of laying on the floor or talking to refs while the other team is pushing it to the floor for easy baskets.
Force bama into to bad shots I wouldn't mind seeing us mix it up on defense by running zone and switching to man after 2 passes. Schemes that will stop and make bamas offense think instead of them just running their offense.
Johni and CBM getting healthy and playing like they where in the first half of the season
Not blowing a big lead. I dont know why this keeps happening but it does. I'm not sure I can emotionally handle another blown huge lead especially to bama. It's more than just this season its become a recurring theme under Bruce the last few years. So if somehow we get up 15/20 instead of putting some dumb stupid lineup out there and letting them back In the game. Just let the best lineup go and kill their will by extending that lead.

Biggest game of the year so far

Because this is at Bama (where Bruce has slammed his fist and yelled Joke!!) I think the biggest key is not allowing the zebras to take over the game.

What is our best lineup right now? CBM has been atrocious on defense lately and at best mediocre on offense. Whether it’s because he is banged up or other reasons unknown, what would your suggestion be? Roll out 40 minutes of CBM at the 3 anyways?

If indeed CBM is banged up, Howard needs minutes.

Bruce knows how to coach his team lil grasshopper

CBM is struggling, as you say.
I would like to see a few minutes of a line up of Pettiford, Denver, Kelly, CJ, and Dylan.

Bruce reiterated again after the game that CBM is "flat out banged up" and even "limited in practice". Said they need to "get him a little rest and get him healthy". They still leaned on him pretty hard with 28 min.
I'm not privy to the goings on behind the scenes in the locker room, practices, team meetings, etc. but from what we have been able to see, Jahki has really squandered his opportunity this season. It started with the pouting at the dunk contest at Tip Off at Toomer's, then the poor attitude in the Miles Kelly show vs Vermont, then the fight on the plane and then the Chaz Lanier / locker room melt down. All these are the incidents we are aware of. But I did see him last night and he seemed to be engaged on the bench. I hope things get better for him, he can be an asset to the team if he gets his attitude/maturity in check.

I agree…

I don’t think Jahki Howard is a realistic option at this point. He’s a talented kid but it’s too late in the season to get him back in the rotation when he has barely proven to be trusted to begin with in terms of on court play.
He has no one to blame but himself.

There is pouting when you are a sophomore at a loser program and your team has a losing record.
There is also pouting when your teammate is running a heat check or your team is ranked number one.
I hold little sympathy for either but at least when Bryce was pouting there was not a damn thing going right.

Interesting
You continue calling me a welch while not knowing what the word means.
Chex: the literal definition of insanity.

And i dont give a frick what BP record is or how good a team we have this year. Either cut his arse loose or play him.
Watching CBM struggle for 28 minutes when BP knew he was banged up is wrong. I dont give a frick who thinks differently about it
