You, yes YOU, might have shot a three-pointer for Auburn in the first half.
Who knows? It’s quite possible. The Tigers took the phrase “go big or go home” literally during the first 20 minutes of the matchup against Mississippi State, attempting 23 threes and making six of them.
It was, to say the least, interesting to watch. Anyway, here are some first half thoughts as the Tigers trail the Bulldogs.
- Mike Morgan brought up the movie “Hoosiers” and made one of the more interesting mistakes about the film: the high school was the Hickory Huskers, not Hickory Hoosiers. (Cue shooting stars and “The More You Know” logo.)
- This team’s inability to close the first half is still frustrating. State finished on an 8-0 run to take the lead. Tigers can’t come out out of the locker room sluggish.
- I’m so excited to see the jump that J.T. Thor makes in his offensive game leading up to his sophomore season. If he puts it all together, he will be nothing short of a lottery pick.
- Jaylin Williams just continues to do the dirty work and me a solid player.
- You know the only reason I would like to see Kentucky win the SEC Tournament? Because you just know John Calipari would then have the nerve to gripe about the Wildcats’ seeding. He just wouldn’t be able to help himself despite having a losing record.
- Devan Cambridge continues to confuse me with his shooting. He literally has the confidence of Jared Harper but the shooting prowess of … well … not Jared Harper.
- Dylan Cardwell has been extremely quiet.
- What else? Yeah, that’s about it. Let’s see if the Tigers can close out the season with a victory.
