Where to go now?

As mentioned, three-point shooting has to get fixed. This team plays tough defense. They are fast and long. But the offense is far too inept for the defense to win games consistently now. Auburn has seen success the likes of which was unimaginable on the hardwood just 10 long years ago. From the lows of the Tony Barbee days, the thought of making the winning the SEC Regular Season Championship twice, winning the SEC Tournament and beating Kansas, UNC, and Kentucky to get to the Final Four, signing Jabari Smith, and being ranked the number 1 team in the AP Poll for three straight weeks was beyond comprehension. Bruce did that.

Now we have to find a way to be okay with an Auburn basketball team that just lost two of the most talented players in program history on the heels of two of the previous most talented players in history being drafted in consecutive years. This team is rebuilding, and they are doing it on the fly. It may take some time, but if patient, I suspect that we will be rewarded for it eventually.

Next. Tigers close out non-conference play with a win. dark
