Episode 162: "The ball is only going to be bouncing for so long"
About this episode
Justin and Painter break down Auburn’s 79-61 loss to Miami in the second round of the NCAA Tournament. They discuss what all went wrong for the Tigers — some surprising, some not-so-surprising — and how it led to an early exit in March.
In the second half of the episode, they look back at the big picture for the 2021-22 SEC champions and how they should be ultimately viewed in Auburn basketball history. Then they switch to the immediate future of Bruce Pearl’s program, starting with some roster changes in what should be an interesting offseason on the Plains.
