Auburn opened the season with a one-point win against an Alabama-Birmingham squad that knocked off Iowa State in the first round of the NCAA tournament last spring. The Tigers debuted three key newcomers — T.J. Dunans, Tyler Harris and Kareem Canty — who combined for 51 points. According to CU head coach Tad Boyle, those new faces make the Tigers a far more formidable foe than a year ago.
"Auburn is much-improved. Very athletic," Boyle said. "Play extremely hard with a lot of energy and passion. They're much, much better than they were last year.
Last game was SRO. This one will be too. Should be a great game.
Didn't UAB have to replace both their guards that carried them to the tourney last year?
This one will go a long way toward determining the shape of this season.
The Alabama vs Dayton lead-in game has commenced. I'm hoping someone wins by double digits so we don't have fouls extending this one and delaying us seeing the opening tip for the Buffs. They'd probably start on 2/U/News if that happens, though, right?
I mostly agree with this, but I would phrase it slightly differently. A win and the team is on track, though we won't know if this means NCAA/NIT or bust until December...a loss and we may as well toss the rest of the season in the nearest outhouse.
Just like the Auburn game did last year!This one will go a long way toward determining the shape of this season.
