We are just the painful to watch on offense. They don't have a clue what to do.

Howland coaches with the emotion of Dan Mullen 4 of the last 6 games against UNM.
Yes and no. We controlled the tempo the first half. We got careless in the second half and let them get to their up and down game. We have a huge advantage in the paint and got away from it the second half. Bad coaching and playing. I?m losing the little bit of hope I had in Howland left today.Quote:

Ok, where did this AU team come from? Earlier in the year, Person busted by the FBI, Pearl refusing to cooperate with an internal investigation, an offer to refund $ to season ticket holders and now the nation's longest willing streak. What am I missing?
You have to back your players when they get these tickytac fouls called on them. Stap got called on a nothing BS foul with 11 mins remaining in the 2nd. He looked to you for support and you just stood there with your thumb up your 4th point of contact. With 4 mins Q gets another tt foul and you just stand there. Vic would've been all up in that refs ear. You had better start supporting these guys or you will lose them if you already hadn't. :mad:
What a crappy pass by carter to get stolen. Defender is right there looking at you make that pass too.
Man we can do some dumb things
I?d rather hire a great X?s and O?s coach the next time we?re looking. AK has proven you don?t have to have elite recruits to have a decent amount of success in the SEC and I wouldn?t consider him a great X?s and O?s Coach. I?d say he?s slightly above average. You can have a lot of success in basketball by just being fundamentally sound.
Well Q has decided he wants this game
How in the f*ck do our coaches keep allowing and not correcting these shit soft lazy passes. Half of our turnovers are from laz
y ass passes and they are not getting cleaned up as we go through the season.
Q finally dropping a couple 3s. Maybe he can heat up but not get careless
Live by the Q die by the Q
4 of 5 starters shoot FTs over 80% and brown is an assassin from 3. Those 2 things are what we are missing and the only difference between the 2 teams. If we could shoot 3s and FTs, we would be one of the best teams in the sec. Those are pretty big areas in basketball and we suck at them thoughQuote:

Great D the 2nd half! Not!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Carter and Peters with 2 huge tos down the stretch.
Peters continues to have a tough year.
This game was not lost down the stretch... it was the 5 mins or so we did not score as usual. Howland sucks at offensive basketball.Quote:

Howland does not even know who his starters are at this point in the season, but plays 9 to 10 players in a "rotation", so everyone gets their participation trophy.
I?ve given up on Howland. I tried to hold out hope for as long as I could but this was rick ray level coaching today. We had so much success taking our time on offense and going inside in the first half. We completely got away from that in the second half. Why?? Auburn is a small team! We had a huge advantage in the post and just completely went away from it in the second half. That?s on Howland and I can no longer make excuses for this.
Our team is about to give up on the season. We are gonna be stuck with a stagnant, or losing program, indefinitely.
We have now blown two 2nd half double digit leads in the last two Saturdays. 2nd Halves of the game where we have looked completely inept and lost for 20 minutes. That's on Howland.
Petes is a liability. Q is regressing. Nick keeps driving in with guys all around him a foot taller and gets blocked.
I certainly want to give howland another year, but I think there are a crap load of coaches that would have us playing better basketball than howland. If he does not make NCAA tourney next season, send him back to CaliQuote:

Well, next year we won't be so young anymore, we'll have a bunch of JR.'s and be a year older, (but this bunch will not be a year better).
Nick is totally out of control 70% of the time on offenseQuote:

This is pretty much it in a nutshell. I?ve been optimistic on Howland but it?s not looking good. We just don?t seem to be improving.Quote:

We are gonna have to make a huge decision about our men's program at the end of this season. We either do something, or settle for this year after year.
