exactly..we had no chance from the opening tip with them being the home team. was just a matter of when they start making 3's. one thing Pearl has done is established a group of high energy athletes that can run the floor. Perfect for his system. That is a matchup nightmare for us, when we are turning the ball over and not making shots. It is what it as on that front. My biggest concern is our lack of ball handling. Our passes are lazy at every position. Our guys dont have good hands and a lot of times the turnovers are basically just losing the ball. i'd guess we lose at least 10-15 quality shot attempts because of lazy passes/bad hands per game. im still 100 percent behind our guys. JMHO.. Still a long ways to go to get where we want to be as a basketball program..
Man Auburn is athletic. Do we have anyone on our team that would crack their starting 5? They are lightning quick. If they shoot the ball like this every night they can't be beat. Even when we had position on some plays their guys just seemed to jump a little higher or were a little quicker to the rebounds. Not sure how you defend this team when they are hitting 3's from that deep and than top it off with guys who can all beat their man one on one it seemed. Just not sure how you beat a team that hot tonight.
