Auburn, what are you doing? The SEC regular season champions were supposed to have a cakewalk in the conference quarter-final, but Ole Miss came ready for action. Bruce Pearl’s team narrowly escaped the jaws of defeat, winning by a five-point margin. But the victory wasn’t sweet, as it highlighted many important issues for the Tigers.
Johni Broome and his team nearly fumbled a ten-point lead in the last three minutes, with Malik Dia showing up with some crucial plays for the Rebels. Two late steals nearly turned the game around for Ole Miss, and fans were not happy!
Social media was going wild during the SEC Tournament quarter-final, with fans criticizing head coach Bruce Pearl for his shortcomings. One fan lamented Auburn’s inability to capitalize on switches. “Auburn’s inability to take ANY advantage of these Ole Miss guards switching onto bigs is dumbfounding.” Another outright called the team overrated, saying that they won’t be able to succeed in the NCAA Tournament. “Auburn about to get its 3rd loss in a row and will get its 4th cause there getting bounced immediately in the tournament this team is overrated dogshit.”
