No Hope

I conclude that there is no hope for Auburn basketball.  This team was humiliated today 83-52 by Florida, the worst home loss in Auburn Arena history.  This is the ninth loss in ten games.  I watched most of it, more than I could stomach, before leaving.  Florida may be the best team in the SEC, and may make a run toward the Final Four.  The disparity between good basketball, which Florida plays, and bad basketball, which Auburn plays, was never more apparent than today.  Chubb missed an open putback, Wallace missed an open layup, and the Tigers were turning the ball over faster than they were making baskets.  Florida plays with confidence and is more athletic and quicker.  Auburn is slow, unsure, and incompetent.  Auburn is suppose to have its most talented and deepest roster in a while, but it ain't showing at all.  There is no hope for Auburn basketball this season or beyond.
