And that, as they say, is that. The 2009-2010 Auburn basketball season is over. We’ve already covered the elephant in the room here, but a few more thoughts about last night’s game:
– We can dither about a lot of factors, but the game basically came down to one thing: Florida hit their three pointers. Auburn [...]

If Jeff Lebo is retained for another season as head coach of Auburn men’s basketball, I won’t complain, I don’t think. Dismissing him will be costly. Hiring a replacement will be even more costly. A change in the head coaching position will likely produce a series of transfers and recruiting losses that will necessitate another [...]

Let’s go ahead and call tonight’s first-round SEC Tournament game between Auburn and Florida what it is: potentially the final game of Jeff Lebo’s tenure on the Plains. Yes, Virginia, it’s kind of a big deal.
So for the first time this season, it’s time for a comprehensive hoops preview of tonight’s matchup.
Time and TV: 6:30 [...]

So part of my absence last week was spent traveling back in time to the middle of last November, where I met with myself to discuss Auburn’s women’s basketball team.

For the women, the loss of four starters and a roster with just one senior meant that just keeping their heads above water while waiting for better times would be an accomplishment. And while neither team is exactly a good bet to reach the .500 mark, thanks to a pair of big wins both still have shots.

“Whenever I come back here to Auburn, it’s home… I’m at peace.”

“Coach Rupp wrote me and told me it was the worst mistake I’d ever make.”

Please, please stop me if you’ve heard this one before. Any of these ones before.
– Last night Auburn lost to Ole Miss by 10 points, a score of 85-75.
– Auburn led by 12 points at halftime, 34-22. In the second half they allowed Ole Miss to shoot better than 65 percent and score 63 points. [...]

Tourney talk. Fields of Donahue takes a useful look at the upcoming men’s SEC Tournament and the road Auburn might have to travel. And as it turns out, less might be more in terms of Auburn’s place in the league standings:
Auburn might be better off finishing #5 in the West as opposed to #4. Right [...]
