For everything Bruce built to come crumbling down. Bruce built this program on hustle, defense, and grit and this team has none of it. They look disinterested.
Not to mention Neville is a non-factor. It’s a home game against a top 25 SEC opponent and I’m seeing open seats and the Arena’s quiet. I’m sure glad I got to see the Final 4 run last year.

pdiddy98_ said:Yes Bruce legit screwed us so hard. I wish they did an interim situation for a season before they signed him to a deal. It honestly seems like Bruce put Auburn in that spot so SP could 100% get the jobYep the timing forced our hand. I’m not out on SP, but this has been ROUGH.

When you hire an unqualified coach to replace a legend that’s what happens.
Worst part is, this’ll be the best roster Steven has here. Program is completely cooked in its current state with a bad coach and no funding

How much better would Bruce have been with Tahaad playing like this, Magwood, Walker and Bashir being non factors? Maybe a couple games. This year would’ve been real hard either way

This cannot be a multi year opportunity it’s been that bad to me, the team has no flow offense or defense it truly feels like they are playing pickup basketball.The roster definitely has its flaws, but I find it hard to believe the product would be this bad with Bruce at the helm
