[C-time]

I'm back. Sorry Guys. AG isn't the answer and never will be. I just hope to keep breaking even on selling my season tickets since there is no reason to go to games

[Sea Bass]

they are not going to win but keep playing

[lhsgolf19]

64-54 with 11:50 left... Love the Fight

[T-Bone 84]

Hard to defend a step-back 3.

[priceg75]

Still on track for 30 turnovers, but not getting blown out somehow.

[jack72]

Their three guards are 14-23 for 50 points.

[Furio]

Cohill one of the few bright spots. Playing with poise unlike Crutcher tonight

We are on the road and losing by 10 to a final four caliber team, yeah fire AG... you're a bum

[C-time]

I may be but I will be happy once AG is gone.

[C-time]

And its about to be a 20 point blowout.

You expected a win?

[C-time]

I did not.

[TommyGola]

What is with these cross-court passes???? 22 turnovers!

[C-time]

I expected some semblance of defense

[C-time]

And maybe not turning over the ball every other possession

[lhsgolf19]

76-61 with 7:50 left... UD Ball after the break

Turnover count is 22. Dayton trails 76-61. Shooting the 3 well, but that’s about it. Of course, some of the best Dayton teams in recent years might have lost by double digits to this Auburn team.

EXACTLY! But Fire AG... BS

[jack72]

We are ahead in most stats except free throws and turnovers. They have 9 more free throws made than us.

[mikeymo85]

we have balls

[lhsgolf19]

No quit... 76-66 with 5:30 left... UD Ball

[priceg75]

The ol' lazy ten second call. My favorite when it's not us.

[Furio]

76 to 66 5:30 left

[longtimefan67]

C-Time what do you want for your season tickets???

Auburn gets up 20 then just loses focus because they're bored. Good luck everyone.

[lhsgolf19]

How the f is that not a foul

[Furio]

Auburn throwing up some wild shots down 8

[mikeymo85]

how can they have 4 fu78ckiun frouls

[lhsgolf19]

78-68 with about 3 to go

[priceg75]

They've scored 27 points in the second half because they are mainly just jacking up bad 3's.

Home court advantage, and regional officials.

Cunningham was hit it the face- how do the officials not automatically check it out at the replay monitors?

[tirebiter]

Cunningham was fouled hard - and a forearm to the face - no call? I'm surprised AG did not get a T.

[C-time]

Down 11 and Dayton is just sitting back and letting Auburn burn 30 seconds. Great Coaching

[jack72]

Wow, how bout the big fellow with a three from downtown!

Dayton playing to cover.

[T-Bone 84]

The only thing I can figure is that they ruled it incidental contact, since Josh got the dunk and the defender had his hands up, defending the shot.

And AG continues to just try to keep how much they get beat by to a lower number

Terrible homer job. Landers got hammered twice in a row.

[lhsgolf19]

Proud of the effort, didn't quit.... 82-72 Final

[C-time]

Champions Cover?

[mikeymo85]

, watch out a10

[sopaw10]

I believe it was Mark Twain who said, “better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and to remove all doubt”. C-Time would be well served to read more Twain.

[jack72]

That 12-2 start sealed us. No shame losing to #8 on their floor by 10.

[EliteEight]

I like the effort and improved offense in the second half especially by our underclassmen. We can't be too mad about a 10 pt loss on the road to #8. After being down by 19 and clawing back.

[T-Bone 84]

Love the way the guys kept fighting. Just came out of the gate too intimidated, and got into too deep a hole. Proud that they didn’t give up, and that they hung together as a team.

[jack72]

The strength of our defense is our guards and we gave up 62 to their guards. Hats off to their guards. They are awesome.

[FlyerBob]

Saw the game on the SEC channel-

1. Coach Grant managed to the new system to avoid a double digit loss- probably the right move.

2. We are a tough team picking up some excellent experience. How can you not love these guys?

3. We are a top 2 team finisher in the A-10.

[mikeymo85]

bruce pearl makes me want to take A SHOWER. love AG

[jack72]

Brown is their only senior. Auburn will be scary good next year.

Kudos to Grant, who had the guts to clean out the puss on last year's team and play short handed and still compete with three top 25 teams.

[joeybaloney]

Glad they hung around, no shame losing by 10 to a very good team at their place. We won't face a team that good again all year. Now we need to rack up some wins.

[CvilleFlyer]

Good effort even though turnovers were the main problem! We came out at the beginning of the game like deer in the headlights! No one expected us to win. 82-72 was respectable. Lets go on a four game winning streak on our own and finish 9-4 in the non-con.

Please go back to not posting. ugh..

[ud69]

Most of our stats were pretty solid - rebounds, shooting percentage, 3 point shooting percentage. However, the obvious big elephant in the gym was 23 turnovers leading to 37 points. Ouch.
Tulsa will be a very difficult game.

[TerryK_67]

Haven't seen a dunk fest and block clinic like that put on the Flyers since the Kansas NCAA game … what …. ten years ago....

[EliteEight]

Yep, the 2nd Rd Kansas game was 2008-09. I was at that game in Minneapolis...Cole Aldrich had a day against Chris Wright (20 rebounds and 10 blocks).

I'll never forget sending WV packing in Rd. 1

What I remember about that Kansas game was our guys gift-wrapping about half of those blocks that Aldrich got. Our guys kept driving straight into him, and with his size, all he had to do was reach straight up and grab the ball. Reminded me of the Sinatra song “High Hopes”, but without the happy endings.

Down by 19 at half and lose by 10. Nobody threw in the towel here. Way too many turnovers in the first half, but when we cut those down in the second half we could play with them. I think we “made” them play the entire 40 minutes. Otherwise we played well enough to win if they did not.

Keep working guys. Better results are coming. Young teams will have ups and downs, just stay together and keep working. The A10 is up for grabs.

I refuse to read Twain.

I can't wait for all of you to be celebrating an NIT title in 2 years with Anthony Grant as your head coach.

[Viperstick]

Loved the effort by clawing back into it, but moral victories still count as losses.

[T-Bone 84]

OK, so according to you, Anthony Grant was a horrible choice as coach. So, who should they have chosen? John Wooden? Sorry, but he’s dead. Mark Few? I doubt he’s leaving Gonzaga any time soon. Bob Knight? He isn’t coming out of retirement for our job. OK, then, who?

And once you give a couple realistic names of guys you’d have preferred over Grant (names like Calipari and Jay Wright aren’t realistic) we’ll compare results after the 2022 season. I believe Grant will have led us into the NCAA Tournament at least once, probably twice, and possibly even 3 times between now and then.

I will add to this, show me your posts 1 year and 9 games into the BG's tenure that he was not the right guy and 1 year and 9 games into the AM tenure that he was the right guy.

[flybye]

I thought we would be better prepared for the pressure . Jalen was manhandled, Matos would have helped on Bowen. My concern was late game. Ryan was playing well and sat most of the last 5. Also we really didn’t attack the last 2 min. Kinda sat back.

This where I wonder if the new NET metric changes how the end of game is played. If a loss is inevitable against a top team, if it is close, do you just let it stay that way or do you still go all out?

[San Diego Flyer]

With Brown they can be scary good this season.

[BeckysTXA]

I agree with this but will also and moral victories are important losses for a young team to help them learn they can play at a certain level. That if they clean up the turnovers they can book a real win. If the play better D, they can book a real win, etc.

If he's "our" head coach why are "you" on this board? Find a team...

[jack72]

I do not think our team was prepared for how quick and athletic the Auburn players are. No way you can prepare for it. You have to experience it, like they did in the first half before their brains and reflexes adjusted in the second half. May have been bad to play Detroit the prior game, as it gave our guys a slowed down defense in their minds. However, it may now help us beat Tulsa.
