Tigers Rebound

Acceptable win last night by the Tigers over a marginal (at best) opponent...although after losing to Sam Houston State on Sunday I am not sure what opponent qualifies as marginal these days.

As someone who watches as much Auburn basketball as humanly possible this season has not been what I expected . With 4 horrocious losses to teams that are far less talented, except for maybe Troy (I know) which as 3 SEC transfers, and with 2 tough losses away from home to ACC teams to say the beginning of this season has been a disappointment would be an understatement. However, I am holding on to hope that the early season struggles will somehow help this team down the stretch. Frankie Sullivan, Tay Waller and DeWayne Reed are more than capable guards that on most nights can handle the ball and shoot lights out from the perimeter. What needs to happen is for someone (Brendon Knox, Kenny Gabriel, Ty Armstong, Johnnie Lett...someone) to step up and play tough in the paint for more than 5 minutes.
