Hoops Report, signing off

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 [...]

It’s time

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.

“Wait, you’re only telling me about the Auburn women’s hoops team? Really? Former Jerry asked me. “You can’t tell me how Auburn does in the Iron [...]

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 [...]
