Maui Invitational

Auburn played like trash and they’re down 8. I’d say that’s a win for them.

Not sure they have enough horses to play a full 40 minutes vs Duke

They are better equipped than much of college b-ball. Just a blitzkrieg by Duke to start the 2H.

I know it's Auburn's style, but if you try and run up and down w dook the results won't be good - got to make them play halfcourt

These 2 extra blacklines near midcourt (even if they are only 5 feet away from the midcourt line) throw me off when they show certain angles, and the line comes into view. It makes the court seem short.

Not this bad however

Agreed. Auburn is gonna run a lot of teams out of the gym. Gotta zone Duke and hope for the best. Gotta hope they fall into the trap of passing side-to-side as well as chucking. They can play halfcourt just fine, IMO.

yeah - you know Reddish can light it up and Barrett if he's left open - but they're actually not a great shooting team - like you say - slow it down, zone them - I'd also add hit the glass like your lives depend on it

Yup. They are unselfish though and move the ball. That’s what makes them tough also.

What was up with that court though? Red lines on either side of half court and end lines , yellow lines on either side of half court and a few feet before each end line, besides the black half court, black 3 point lines. Don’t think I’ve ever seen so many colorful lines all over a court.

Sluggish start to Auburn/Arizona. Some flow beginning in 2H and Walton is like, “Coaches sit down, don’t call timeouts, and let them play!” Love it.

If we had went 2-0 in NYC, I would be gorging myself on all these other holiday hoops tourneys. But since we lost I avoid them like the plague. I'm weird.

Youre not weird(at least compared to me, read on). I wanted to do a title belt gesture too, but am not interested in seeing other teams do one. I did see a Shocker in the airport yesterday though and kind of wanted to ask a question like a JHJ picture post, but I was sober and kept my distance.
