I'm here for a good time not a long time

 

[Incursio007]

I hope we embarrass them on national tv - such a shady program & I'm still salty over the last time we played them [KO era blowout].

 

[wheelerdog]

I thought for sure it would be ASU. I’d have lost that bet.

 

[Psolo12]

Sanogo v. Walker Kessler, I love it.

 

[Psolo12]

Syracuse VCU should be an interesting matchup too.

You'll all be happy to know my Auburn grad wife has soured on the school and their athletics and will be cheering for the huskies this time around.

Definitely surprised we aren't matched up with ASU or Syracuse.

Would love to beat Auburn though. The blow-out loss on the road last time around sucked, but we also need revenge for the OT game they stole in Hartford after Jalen Adams got hurt.

Auburn should be a very good test for this team, 13th in Rothstein's Top 45

13. Auburn
Projected Starting 5:
G Wendell Green
G K.D. Johnson
F Allen Flanigan
F Jabari Smith
C Walker Kessler
Projected Bench: Dylan Cardwell, Devan Cambridge, Babatunde Akingbola, Chris Moore, Zep Jasper, Jaylin Williams
Newcomers: Jabari Smith, Zeb Jasper (Charleston), Wendell Green (Eastern Kentucky), K.D. Johnson (Georgia)
Losses: Sharife Cooper, Justin Powell, Javon Franklin, Jamal Johnson

 

[UConNick]

Jabari Smith will be an absolute terror, especially next to Kessler. Will be a big game for Sanogo/Whaley/Akok.

Could face Akinjo and Baylor in the championship if we down Auburn and MSU

 

[NowInStorrs]

Good matchup. Should be a solid tournament.

 

[Waquoit]

Definitely surprised we aren't matched up with ASU or Syracuse.

I bet ASU and UConn on separate sides was part of the deal.

 

[Hey Adrien!]

Wendell Green was one of my favorite mid-major players last year. Caught him play against Belmont and Morehead State: little spark plug.

Very excited for this game!!

That was a really, really sad day as a Husky fan. I had a contact that was tight with the previous staff and he was like Diallo was done to us and people on here were talking about him going through the course catalog, etc. Then a cheating program like Bruce Pearl and Auburn absolutely waxed us. Like we used to do teams. Ollie PTSD comes back on this one lol!

Yea that was an especially dark day we finished that game with like 7 guys, and then diallo went to Kentucky and sat when he coulda started here.

[Hey Adrien!]

Here's Three Man Weave's season preview for Auburn, whom they rank #22.

#22 Auburn 2021-22 Preview — Three-Man-Weave

A roller coaster season (especially at the point guard position) coupled with a postseason ban left Auburn in a strange college hoops netherworld last year. After Bruce Pearl restocked the roster this offseason, can the Tigers regain national relevance?

I freakin' love this early season matchup. I'm excited to see how Sanogo and Whaley matchup with Kessler and Smith...I'm just waiting for Whaley to smother Smith on D and I can see Sanogo’s post moves mystify Kessler.

 

[Austin316]

Auburn is a scary team since orange jacket guy took over. But I think our face masked hero (aka coach mermaidman) will bring it home for the huskies.

Finally booked last week. Ended up paying way too much for airfare, but thinking this may not actually happen now that the Bahamas is on the should not travel list due to COVID. We’ll see.

 

[Travelman6]

Scratch good and suddenly #3 = Cuse.
