Both are in a "put up or shut up situation," but I think Malzahn is better equipped to pull it off.

Not to mention the sword of Damocles hanging over Freeze's head.

I think I agree with you. If Freeze gets drubbed again by Mullen AND they get major sanctions, winning the party won't be enough for him.

And to think how we squandered our home game against them.

(If we don't get the 4th seed, in the SEC tournament, this will be the reason. Not a possible tie, in the standings, with the Pig People.)

Oddly enough, as RTR91 has noted, we're better served by being a 5th seed.

But we need the extra potential wins to bolster our record. A double bye really doesn't help us in the committee's eyes. Which is his point and I agree with him. We need to win out (at best only drop one) and have at least two wins in the SEC tourney to be considered for the field.

Remember what I said before this year even started? His seat will not be warm. We'll need to see postseason play next year or it will be though.

In one year less, and with really only one recruiting class, CAJ has Bama in better shape and more competitive in every game than Mr. Show-Cause

Would have been nice if he beat Awbarn though; at least at home

First winning season in since 08-09. This is Bruce's first year of having his own players and he is fielding a team that is even younger than last year's team, which only won 11 games. Obviously, I would love to win now, but we are headed in the right direction, so I can wait. Can't be hard considering I've waited about 13 years to have a good season already. Haven't made the tourney since I was in school. We have a talented team, but you start four freshman you are going take lumps. I think we firmly make the tourney next year and if some players stick around will be making some quality runs in the next 2-3.

Pearl inherited a program that was lifeless by the time Barbee left. Year 1 we had what could pass for a D2 roster, and he couldn't recruit. Year 2 Pearl had only 1 Tony Barbee player remaining and was forced to rely heavily on JUCO and grad transfers. You don't often see a rebuilding job more difficult than that. The talent has started flowing in but we're still working on depth. Give it time.

Part of me still can't believe anyone is actually trolling Auburn basketball. Good times indeed.

Why couldn't Pearl recruit during year 1?

He was still serving out his show cause. Couldn't recruit until fall 2014

Maybe this is a basketball post but truthfully all I care about in basketball is RPI and the two tournaments. If we made the finals of the SEC tourney and a relatively deep tourney run each year, I could care less about beating auburn.
