About this episode
Justin and Dan break down Auburn basketball’s ultra-dominant performance in Atlanta against Ohio State in this year’s Holiday Hoopsgiving.
The guys start by looking at what made this victory so impressive and why the Tigers have cemented themselves as the nation’s current No. 1 team — no matter what the human polls might say. They look at Johni Broome’s 20/20 game and marvel at how it could have been even better. Then they go into all the elements of what made Auburn’s backcourt so successful against Ohio State’s loaded guard lineup.
Then it’s a switch over to football, where Auburn football has picked up a new quarterback in Oklahoma’s Jackson Arnold. They discuss the pros and the cons of this transfer pickup for the Tigers and look at a pair of further additions to the roster. (Note: This was recorded before Auburn landed offensive tackle Xavier Chaplin.)
