Auburn fans tweeting incessantly about football on the day of their basketball game? Funny, just a few months ago I was told, multiple times, they only care about basketball. Weird

Nobody has ever looked better in an Auburn basketball uniform than Chance Westry

Look, Iโm a firm Bruce Pearl and Auburn Basketball supporter, but I canโt say I support their decision to schedule Bradley.
Like, thatโs just one guy. Why not schedule a full team to play against? Just ridiculous imo

Donโt worry guys that was just the โAuburn forgot how to play basketballโ part of the game

Wendell Green Jr. has more moves than a can of worms on a fast break, per the announcers.

This may be Bruce Pearl’s best all around team when they shoot well. We shall see. Most of the time that will be determined by the time the SEC tournament starts so there’s time to play worse or even better who knows. I for one think this may be his best team
