Auburn Basketball on fire.

[weagle]

The Tigers are kicking tail on the court this year. We have a couple of superstar players, but Coach Pearl has these guys playing team ball and they are fun to watch. Freshman Jabari Smith Jr is an all around player and projected in the top 3 NBA draft picks and Walker Kessler is a 7 footer that reminds me of Bill Walton. No one keeps mid season rankings, but we may end up at #1 this week.

WDE!

Smith Jr is fun to watch!

I appreciate those who enjoy round ball and I’m sure it’s exciting for you.

For me, if it ain’t football I don’t care!

Coach Pearl > Coach Crean

Why does UGA even bother having basketball teams?

7 ft er a good passer?
Name escapes me for the moment but did you ever see the guy from overseas (like a russian type country) that played for the trail blazers. He had blown out his knees when he was younger but even with his limited movement he could throw better passes than most PTG's

Congrats on the great season so far, weagle.

Sabonis..he was 7'3 he's got a kid in NBA now..all star also..better be careful with B Pearl..he will get you on probation as quick as Calipari or Pitinio..enjoy run while you can

Yes. Kessler is a great passer. Great vision for players cutting to the basket. His shot blocking is something to watch. He has incredible timing and everyone underestimates his reach.

I love Coach Pearl. When he gets busted he owns it. It's always for helping a player, like giving a player transportation to a family funeral.

He got a raw deal at Tennessee and they didn't back him up. Glad we got him.

Yes that's him, how good/big is his kid? Saw a highlite of him throwing a cross court, behind the back bounce pass to a guy on the move. His hands made the BBall look like a softball in mine, Heard some say if his knees hadn't gave out before he came to the NBA, He would've have been the best player ever

 

[brutally honest]

The team that went to the Final Four a couple of years ago was great. They had experienced guards who could all shoot.

I think this team is more talented. #12 Kentucky is coming to town Saturday — should be the biggest game in the country.

I got my info from a Tenn fan who was close to the program, never believe a Vol I guess, he acted like he was worse than that W Va coach- Bob Hudgins , lol an absolute piece of work, I've always thought Calipari (gets on probation everywhere he goes), Hudgins & Pitino were the Big 3 of crooks & Pearl was'nt far behind , you have changed my opinion on Pearl, have heard about his big heart , hope you beat Kentucky by 20!

Domantas Sabonis is 6 11' outa Gonzaga, 25 yrs old 2 time all star was 1st round pick no 11 in 2016 draft avg 18.9 pts and 11.9 rebounds a game last year- his dad was something else if he had'nt had those bad knees all time great

I’d rather pay someone to paint their house than watch basketball
