Episode 444: The Meme Team

Justin and Dan recap Auburn basketball’s comfortable win over yet another NCAA Tournament hopeful away from home in a Quad 1 game. They start by looking at how impressive the Tigers have been in a non-conference slate that was by far the toughest in program history and how far ahead the team is from the pack right now.

The guys break down Johni Broome’s remarkable double-double less than 100 hours from a rough-looking shoulder injury, Auburn’s suffocating defense against a great Purdue offense and the standout performances of Chad Baker-Mazara, Tahaad Pettiford and Johni Broome.

Towards the end of the episode, they talk about Charles Kelly’s departure to become Jacksonville State’s new head coach and the irritating discourse around the first round of the College Football Playoff. Dan makes his pitch for The War for the Wiregrass. Justin gives his top nine albums of the year. Merry Christmas.
