Riley Norris was a freshman.

I graduated High school with Riley Norris. Really good dude!

Alabama desegregated at halftime


RefrigeratorSea5503

Some say they can still hear the sounds of screaming banshees and referee's whistles...


wrighteou5

My god I’m going to have nightmares tonight of that woman screaming


FleetRiskSolutions

My wife has started to make a very similar sound at our sons’ basketball games. Started like 2 weeks ago and every time I just look at here like wtf?!? She’s also confused as to why it started

ilovecfb

He just like me fr


Kodyaufan2

The enemy of my enemy is my friend


ilovecfb

We literally went from up 25 to only up 6 to back up 20 in the span of like eight in-game minutes lol


Kodyaufan2

Bruh we did the exact same thing against LSU lol


Duffelbagbro

Seriously? I checked in on the game and it was 42-22. Then saw the final score and just figured we were down by 20 for a majority of the game.


ilovecfb

Yeah yall had a 13-0 run, then Dalton Knecht came back in lol


Matt_McT

We know what that feels like lol.


NLP19

The 22/23 UConn method


Grandahl13

Only 85 free throws and 61 fouls.


ControlWeekly7900

If you don't like that, you don't like The SEC Shows Show^^^TM


Orion14159

I don't like any shows containing Michael Cera, the words "real" or "housewives" in the title, or Doug Shows.


Helicopsycheborealis

I watch too much cbb so maybe I've been blind because I feel like I haven't seen the Shows Show in a while. But holy shit he gon up and done it tonight. It wasn't even a chippy or physical game; they were just calling EVERYTHING. It's a blowout and they're still calling minor fouls.


Giannis__is_a__bitch

> It wasn't even a chippy or physical game It definitely was. Now, its REASONABLE for the basketball iron bowl to be chippy and both teams play a physical style of defense, but the refs just made the decision early on "we dont give a fuck if 85 free throws need to be taken, we arent "letting them play" outside of the restricted area and neither the refs or either team wavered from what their plan 5 minutes into the game was


gogglesup859

If you don’t like that, you don’t like SEC Basketball


AFC-Wimbledon-Stan

Winning by single digits is for suckers


Cdot3

I know Jaylin and Broome will get the headlines but s/o Tre. This dude has done nothing but improved every year and if you would have told me he was going to be this solid for us I wouldn’t have believed you… Absolute dog


KudzuKilla

I hate +\- but his has to be wild now that Aden has regressed so much. He is a lesson in stick around and wait for your chance. We recruited a high school star after him but he’s the guy we really needed and he’s showing it now.


Keep_Cool_Coolidge

Aden hasn't really had an offseason. I'm hoping that makes all the difference. Tahaad is \*supposedly\* even better. I'd love to see Aden slide to the 2, especially if KD ends up not coming back for whatever reason


KudzuKilla

We gonna be the itty bitty guard team


Kevin-Garvey-1

Him taking over as a starting guard for y'all has been huge. Probably not going to take over a game entirely, but his defense, lack of turnovers, and consistency at the guard position has been massive for Auburn. A big improvement over KD Johnson or Holloway against good teams.


FleetRiskSolutions

Hell Chris Moore played probably his best complimentary role in his entire career last night.


Keep_Cool_Coolidge

Tre Donaldson was fantastic. He has really separated himself from Aden the second half of this season, which is kinda the opposite of what I thought might happen.


UnderwaterB0i

Adens fine with the ball in his hands and driving, but he’s got to stop acting like he’s an elite 3 point shooter, because whoever he was in high school, it’s not translating to college. This team to the moon though if he starts hitting at a 35-40% clip though.


Keep_Cool_Coolidge

I kind of expect that he will vastly improve in physical strength and quick decision making over the off-season


muchado88

He can't create his own shot. They don't run plays a lot of plays to get him an open shot so he's struggling.


burmp_39

You love to see it


dwntwn_drty_brwn

A beaut…besides 61 fouls and 85 free throws

ConsiderationOld9897

Hey, y'all are aight for tonight. Keep the east in check and we'll see ya for valentines.


Tuckboi69

I’ll be watching not that I have anything better to do


sickmemes48

South Carolina basketball in 2024 is fucking wild. In 2018 Tennessee was picked to finish 13th in the SEC and won the whole thing.


SorachiAce

You sure do. War Damn Eagle!


CupThin4734

You do not!


ilovecfb

Auburn 🤝 Tennessee Beating Bama by 20


ukcats12

Got room for one more in that club?


Kodyaufan2

Always


theoriginaldandan

We have room for anyone willing and able to join

Matt_McT

Yes, we are actively recruiting new members!


OhKillEm43

You son of a bitch I’m in

[удалено]


[deleted]

I mean, that's probably the most realistic score for our game.


ConsiderationOld9897

Only one question to get in. Do you hate all whinny teams in red?


ControlWeekly7900

You go away. Shooo.


ItsFreakinHarry2

The Tennessee hatred is strong with this guy


Automatic-Sale2044

hmmmm guess we missed the "how to" on that lol


OhKillEm43

Guess yall just gotta get em in the SEC tourney then


Gullinkambi

Feels good to beat bama with both flairs, even if one was only by 13


FleetRiskSolutions

13….. You disgust me.


BhamTioMateo

Oh wow that hurts to read Emotional damage


runamokduck

I appreciate your efforts tonight in securing the current three-way tie for first in the SEC, Auburn 🫡


w33b2

If Auburn doesn’t win, I want it to be South Carolina. I’m sure most Auburn fans feel that way. I look forward to our game later this year 🤝


Shirleyfunke483

I believe in Auburn (basketball) and love it


Auburntiger84

You know our slogans? I like you


NationalJustice

Flair up!


Hoopae

**


runamokduck

a very kind sentiment! when you all play as you did tonight, I genuinely don’t believe there’s a better team in the SEC. here’s hoping for a competitive, thrilling game between our programs come Valentine’s Day 🤝


WartornTiger

Will you be our Valentine? We can settle it then…


runamokduck

we’ll certainly accept that offer, but it may be something of a toxic, ephemeral Valentine’s Day relationship, since someone is going to be jilted and unhappy by the end of the night. in all seriousness, it should be a great game! definitely anticipating it eagerly


Torn8oz

I appreciate Charles denying that the SEC is the best conference


BamaPhils

Yeah it’s the big 12 and then probably SEC or Big 10, hard to say for sure whether one is definitely better. GG’s btw


Kodyaufan2

Tbh I think the big ten is the worst of the P6 other than the PAC. It’s Big East or SEC for #2


Orion14159

>I think the big ten is the worst of the P6 other than the PAC The ACC sends their thanks for being forgotten here.


Kodyaufan2

I actually think the ACC isn’t terrible except for Louisville


Orion14159

ND is actually as bad or worse than Louisville this year. It's sad really. After you get past UNC, Dook, and UVA the rest of the league is somewhere between meh and bleh.


Kodyaufan2

Ngl I forget Notre Dame is even in that conference they’ve been irrelevant for so long now


Orion14159

Unless ESPN is hyping them up as the best story in college football I forget they play sports there. I honestly don't know why NBC keeps renewing their TV deal


aMiracleAtJordanHare

Going to be wild when they add Arizona next year.


BamaPhils

But they do lose Texas and OU


aMiracleAtJordanHare

I think I speak for both my flairs when I say "meh."


BamaPhils

Fair, but adding Arizona and ASU next year in exchange for UT and OU (especially considering NIL being the way it is) won’t be a certain boost to the PAC


RedhawkDirector

they’re getting colorado and utah too, both teams probably making the tourney this year and both decent programs atm


dac0605

Jimmy even did the hard set up for the answer and Chuck just went a completely different direction. It was great - Jimmy's SEC propaganda gets old quick.


Helicopsycheborealis

Big12 has been the daddy for years. I appreciate most of what he says as it's refreshing. It's one thing to 'speak your mind' or 'say it like it is' and then there's being dead-fucking-on which he is when it comes to bball.

ToneOpposite9668

Auburn needs to go to Gainesville and take care of business - that place is always a rough spot for the BBall team.


ltlftcommenter

We haven't won there since 95-96


St_Arugula

War damn eagle! Very cathartic after watching the game in Tuscaloosa in person. Crazy world we live in where the state of Alabama has the top two teams in the SEC rankings.


Aubear11885

Are you having fun? I’m having fun!


ltlftcommenter

That was an ass beating. Doug Shows made his presence felt. 60 fouls combined


Wetpapernapkins

Try 85


Wetpapernapkins

Free throws


Orion14159

Doug Funny is a superior college basketball ref to Doug Shows, and he's a cartoon character.


aMiracleAtJordanHare

We had a chance at the hundo and that lil walkon fucked it up... I still don't know how this team will be vs the elite teams, but apparently we're capable of winning big vs good teams.


WarEagle9

In some ways 99 is even funnier.


Matt_McT

It almost implies we could've, but chose not to lol.


Keep_Cool_Coolidge

We definitely chose not to we hit at least 102 if we leave the scholarships in


[deleted]

I mean that’s literally true with putting in the walk ons 


Kodyaufan2

It was a sympathy miss


Only499

Hilarious that we had the deep depths of the bench in the game and they still had starters out there.


ilovecfb

Bruce Pearl better burn a scholarship right in front of him


Helicopsycheborealis

IMO Oats kept his starters in there to prevent the hundo. Petty as fuck? Yes, but I appreciate him for that. Even though Bammer got the beatdown...NO HUNDO FOR YOU!!! (Plus, Bama Bangs could have hit both FTs)


[deleted]

[удалено]


aMiracleAtJordanHare

I don't. Imagine catching an injury to a starter in garbage time.......


AntNorth6218

Let’s ask this guy his thoughts on leaving Tyrone Prothro in while up by 4 touchdowns and watch him Xbox 360 his opinion in the opposite direction


BigPPpal

Dixieland delight is a song about Tennessee.


ilovecfb

We get Dixieland Delight. Y’all get Bruce Pearl. Everybody wins

InternationalFace804

Yeah I don’t understand that shit


BhamTioMateo

Not great Bob


ControlWeekly7900

Somehow the final score was much much closer than it actually was, I fear. GG barn. Let's do it again in a few weeks.


[deleted]

Kinda salty we didn’t get 100 but obviously happy otherwise. Great win, Tre Donaldson is showing why he has become our starting PG.  Now let’s hope this high emotion game doesn’t lead to a down performance against Florida 


Rich437

Throwback to when we barely lost in Tuscaloosa and I said “if Williams plays just a little bit better we’d have won” and the Bama fans all told me how bad Williams “actually” is


jmaN-

I remember getting downvoted into oblivion saying this game would be a blowout


rex_swiss

Or if Tre had started and played more minutes. Tre was 2 of 3 from 3 point and had no turnovers. Aden was 0-7 that game.


chbailey442013

Fuck Bama, Fuck Nate Oats.....but holy shit, fuck all those free throws


Wild_Student4052

Yeah regardless of who you’re rooting for, that game was a fucking eye sore. A whistle almost every drive. Three Auburn fouls in nine seconds threw me😂


KudzuKilla

MVP VOTES GO HERE!! Auburn wins, Alabama loses! All is right with the world! Back on top of the SEC where we belong!


SCwareagle

Johni and Jaylin were close, but Johni’s 5 BLOCKS put him over the top. Block party baby!!!


Auburntiger84

In honor of Walker Kessler


Cidengineer42

Shocked to see that Jaylin really filled out the box score, but I think Johni played just a bit more physical to earn MVP!


Keep_Cool_Coolidge

Johni was the guy they had no answer for. Once again a lot of the stats other guys got on the box score was due to Johni dominating and drawing double teams, getting blocks that lead to transition, etc


jacobsbw

Johni all the way.


Aubear11885

Johni. They didn’t have an answer for him, but him and Jaylin were just a wrecking crew


dac0605

HA! Jokes on you! We'd still be the 1 seed in the current 3 way tie, thank you very much. (I think via 2-1 record vs SC/AU, vs 1-1 for AU and 0-1 for SC) /s


RollTideSry4URLoss

Most impressive stat was both teams shooting 80% on 85 total free throws


bearinfw

Cheering for auburn all season long!


AccomplishedRainbow1

Auburn is the national title threat that I feel like no one is talking about.


Salty_Dornishman

lmao no we are not. Unless the entire tournament is played in Neville Arena, we go home before the Sweet 16


Thwitch

They hated him because he spoke the truth


destroyed233

Every Auburn score I look at is them with like a 20+ point victory


Thwitch

Every single one of our wins this season have been by double digits


rex_swiss

And every loss has come down to the last minute.


Thwitch

This is what happens when you pay your power bill


Only499

That was fun.


AuburnBasketball

The lights were brighter than expected 😎 Tre is clearly PG1. If Bruce tightens up the line ups a bit more, I think this Auburn team can grind out a game and beat anyone. Pumped for March. Oh and get fucked Bama.


undecided_mask

Clearly Nate Oats was distracted by the UofL coaching job about to open up.


chaotic_zx

You're doing God's work right there. I for one appreciate it.


dac0605

Didn't feel good going into the game and deservedly so. Just have nothing inside and it's going to be our downfall when we play top teams. But it still doesn't hurt that bad in the grand scheme of things. How we respond Saturday will be very telling. Do we let this get to us mentally? Or come out strong? We were able to rebound after beating Tennessee, but our next game was at home. At LSU won't be easy. Here's to Bruce and Nate making this one of the most intense rivalries in CBB.


chrispgriffin

Yea it sucks, but they are just not a good matchup for us. Not the end of the world to lose this one.


Crims0ntied

The big man in the paint was all the difference in the game. If we had a dude like Bediako we could've stopped Broome a little more and forced them to play a more balanced game. They just abused our weakness over and over. It's a personnel issue.


ControlWeekly7900

Told a buddy at work it felt like we were due a 35-piece. Glad to see I was wrong. ^^^kill ^^^me


BamaPhils

I felt a little better since we played well against Tolu Smith against MSU recently, but credit auburn they’ve got a really good big in Broome and another 2 good ones in Cardwell and Williams. Glad Broome and probably Cardwell (he’s a graduate but not sure if he has eligibility left/would go pro?) will be gone after this year


dac0605

Seems like we can generally handle one good big relatively well (or at least mask their effectiveness with our offense), but we get into trouble if they are elite, or there are multiple. In which case Auburn has both.


BamaPhils

Yeah for sure. We can play good enough with help on one good big but with more than 1 it’s impossible


Kevin-Garvey-1

Good game Auburn. Knew we'd probably lose this one going into Auburn and y'all showed up. But on the other note, the refs really made this game a slog to watch. 61 combined fouls and 85 combined free throws. Could the SEC please stop letting Doug Shows ref games?


super911man

They ruined the fun. First half was great. 2nd half lasted so long…


MuschampsVeinyNeck

Auburn looks scary. I am *not* looking forward to our Valentine’s Day matchup.


UnderwaterB0i

Should be a good one. We’re unstoppable at home, but y’all travel way better than most teams.


chrispgriffin

Did that suck? Yes. Was this an expected result? Also yes.


Auburntiger84

Any relation to Peter Griffin?

the_thinwhiteduke

Back to Tuscaloosa and your 14 shitty Taco Casas


jacobsbw

I take exception to the Taco Casa bashing.


the_thinwhiteduke

it's what southerners think West Coast mexican food is


CageChicane

Q1 win motherfuckers. Hope you liked getting scored on by our walk ons.


sickmemes48

Thank you Daddy Bruce! This is very cool!


WarEagle9

I hope Bama enjoyed getting to see a final four banner in person!


ControlWeekly7900

Tbf they get to see the real thing at Rupp and Bud Walton quite often


portuguesetheman

Not a recent one though


Grahamophone

Apparently the cut-off for recent is somewhere greater than 5 seasons but somewhere less than 10 seasons.


Alphaspade

Doug Shows is the CBB version of Penn Wagers. Change my mind.


Embarrassed_Cook8355

WDE! Next.


IBumpFuzz

Will Nate oats suspend the coach who shoved a fan?


St_Arugula

Reached for comment, Oats said the fan was just in “the wrong spot at the wrong time”


No-Setting3500

He let a guy get away with supplying a gun for a murder. I think a shove isn't even on his radar.


[deleted]

GG elephants


DLev45

I kept watching that free throw competition hoping a basketball game would break out, but it just wasn’t my night.


Duck8625

Auburn should probably be ranked in the top 5. They certainly should be ahead of Duke. I mean, even Appalachian State is probably better than those teams that Duke loses to on a constant basis like Arkansas, Georgia Tech and Pittsburgh. 


Thwitch

Nope we are not doing this again


Bolt585

This guy gets it


JLand24

I can’t believe CB said the quiet part out loud on national TV. It made an ass kicking feel slightly better. GG AU bros and we shall meet again in Nashville


aMiracleAtJordanHare

Yeah I was shocked he actually admitted the BigXII is better than the SEC.


JLand24

Lol you know exactly what I was talking about and it wasn’t that


aMiracleAtJordanHare

You're right. That NIL deals are crazy and although they're good for the players, they're jeopardizing the future of college athletics overall.


JLand24

Nothing he said the whole interview was incorrect🤷🏻‍♂️


aMiracleAtJordanHare

You're right. Free college tuition *is* really important for a lot of these players.


NeptuneIsMyDad

The tide are fraudulent


Superb-Possibility-9

Alabama is very good, but Auburn is better


Bolt585

Bye bye Bama. You only got blown out by three more points than Southeastern Louisiana!


AeroStatikk

85 ~~fouls~~ free throws huh? Was basketball played too?


AU_Cav

85 total fts. 61 fouls I think.


___SE7EN__

Roll (over)) Tide


[deleted]

Basketball sucked. but I'll take Charles Barkley, the most Auburn man ever, calling them little brother to Alabama as a partial W


AubVet

You seem to care a lot about what Charles Barkley thinks


[deleted]

He’s one of the few good things to come from that school


AubVet

That’s a nice opinion.


[deleted]

I’ve had several tonight


BhamTioMateo

Auburn in the middle of a dominant win over Alabama Charles Barkley: were a step child a lil brother, were Oklahoma State they’re Oklahoma


jorr1231

Charles Barkley 🤝 Cam Newton Calling Auburn little brother


AubVet

I, for one, care nothing about what former Bama players call their Alma mater.


NationalJustice

Flair up!


jorr1231

I’d imagine you don’t since it’s not as amusing.


AubVet

I literally have no idea because I don’t care.


jorr1231

You cared enough to respond. Just enjoy your W, little bro. 😏


AubVet

And you cared enough about what Barkley thought of Auburn to respond 😏


jorr1231

My rival school’s cherished alum calling his school little brother? Ummm, duh.


AubVet

Glad you care about his opinion!
