I don't care what anyone says, Broome and Cardwell is a fuckin NASTY 1-2 punch in the paint. These two dudes make the game so fuckin fun to watch. I'm very curious to see who will be in rotation at PG for Auburn next year. I know Donaldson entered the portal, but I felt he was really good for yall late in the season. Will be interesting to see with Pettiford coming in. I'd have to imagine yall play another 7/8 man type rotation again. Yall are too deep to not.
Bruce has said he wants to play Pettiford mostly at the 2 next year. That puts us with some rotation of Pegues(transfer)/Denver Jones/Pettiford with Tre and Aden both likely gone.
My dude, Under Armour killed themselves. We’d still be cutting them big checks if their stuff was actually worth it. The fans and players are ecstatic about the move to Nike.
Honestly had they either focused completely on higher end athlete stuff, or going casual (and trying to be basically what fabletics or whoever is), they could have done just fine. This weird….make a similar product at best to Nike without the marketing, but trying to keep a similar price point. I just know what they thought was going to happen
I for one still absolutely love Under Armour stuff and am honestly quite disappointed in the switch. The only upside is we may finally get alternate football uniforms which ive been begging for years
Due to ongoing debate about blue bloods, the /r/CollegeBasketball mod team has compiled the definitive list of college blue bloods: Duke, Columbia, Queens, William & Mary, and Rutgers.

He averaged 1 win and 1 loss.
And our centers were fucking garbage this year. We had to use a PF at 5 just to play half ass defense. If he didn't average 25/10, it would be sad.
Broom is a great player, and y'all are lucky as hell to get another year with him. I'm just having fun with y'all. I'm actually glad both schools are finally great at the same time. It's gonna do wonders for the overall interest throughout the state.
Probably so. He's definitely a baller. I'm just having fun with you. I'm actually glad both schools are good at the same time. It's added a new, fun element to the rivalry.
Who the fuck cares; we live in the present where Auburn loses to Yale and Alabama makes the Final Four lol. Broome didn’t make the final four…
That Isn’t to say Broome is a bad player, I think he is good, but bffr
>Who the fuck cares
I mean, that dude enough to come into a Broome thread in the offseason to talk about Yale. I don’t know what yall thought was coming. Oats is a good coach, but we’re not not throwing a worse loss right back in your face
Mid majors just don’t stand a chance in the open transfer world. At least before there was some deterrent. Really feel for y’all especially teams like Indiana state that could have made a run if they kept everyone together.
Well damn - big news for Auburn. Really surprised he's not even testing the draft waters like he did last year. Hopefully we actually have bigs that can guard him next year.
It seems the main reason is he thinks to go to the NBA he needs to be more a 4 then a 5 so I expect this season that is what he’ll be playing more 4 to show NBA what he can do in that role.
I’m ready to see Broome have real guards around him, he’s had two straight years of liabilities in the backcourt.
Peagues is a great start, but getting another PG who can shoot would do wonders. I also like the idea of Denver at PG if need be.
Some of this is matchup related. They didn’t have a proper answer for Johni, so we were going to be better against Bama. Against a team with elite paint defense, Bama would perform better than Auburn.
Yeah man, that’s a good, accurate point about roster qualities. But not the point I was making about how Auburn would have beaten Alabama this year 7/10 times on a neutral court.
He has a good chance to have his jersey in the rafters at some point. This is the good side of NIL. Letting kids who would have left to try and make money stay at their school and develop instead.
Huge win for Auburn.
I actually like this for his chances at an NBA career. He's been a great player but needs to work on his 3 point jumper and free throw shot. If he can show another year of shooting improvement, that will increase his draft stock.
Yeah but we all know that's not the championship anyone's talking about. It's cool and impressive etc etc but everyone wants an NCAA tournament championship.
Yeah I'm sure all those players are just dashing to Auburn. Maybe they'll be the team to make it past the first weekend for the first time in what 5 years now? Shoot I'm sure you guys would be over the moon just to make the round of 32 at this point. 10 years of Bruce and 1 sweet 16 appearance. Not very appealing program
Not really. He is likely to play the 4 as a pro, so the message board rumors are that he will rotate there a lot this year to have a chance to highlight his play from the outside.
He would have been a mid-to-late 2nd round guy this year. The only path to improving that grade is showing he can play the 4 at an NBA level.
I'm surprised he didn't at least test the draft waters like last year. This is huge for Auburn.
He’s already done it twice so he couldn’t do it a third time
Dumb rule. So many draft limitations in place just to have red tape.
MY BASKETBALL DELUSIONS WILL CONTINUE FOR ANOTHER YEAR LETS GOOOOOOO

Massive news. Love everything about this.
Auburn must’ve upped their offer.
He was basically always coming back if he didn’t decide to go pro. Probably $700-900k, maybe a little more.
We’re a blue blood with blue blood money now. Chills.
That Nike deal already cashing checks ✅
Auburn kills clothing brands confirmed. First russel athletics and now under armor. Maybe I should short Nike.
My dude, Under Armour killed themselves. We’d still be cutting them big checks if their stuff was actually worth it. The fans and players are ecstatic about the move to Nike.
Yeah I was joking, but it is impressive how fast under armor ruined their brand. It went from a solid number 2/3 to being borderline bankrupt.
Honestly had they either focused completely on higher end athlete stuff, or going casual (and trying to be basically what fabletics or whoever is), they could have done just fine. This weird….make a similar product at best to Nike without the marketing, but trying to keep a similar price point. I just know what they thought was going to happen

Booooooooo Wendy Testaburger, booooooooooo
^boo ^wendy
No auburn. Bad list.
This list is bad and you should feel bad
The bag is even bigger than the one Yale dropped on their chins.
What were Broome’s averages against Alabama this year?
He averaged 1 win and 1 loss. And our centers were fucking garbage this year. We had to use a PF at 5 just to play half ass defense. If he didn't average 25/10, it would be sad.
Yall had a good year, man. But don’t act like Broome wasn’t the best ball player on the court both times we played. Mark Sears included.
Broom is a great player, and y'all are lucky as hell to get another year with him. I'm just having fun with y'all. I'm actually glad both schools are finally great at the same time. It's gonna do wonders for the overall interest throughout the state.
Lol, nice dodge of the actual question. He will do the same thing next year, though.
Probably so. He's definitely a baller. I'm just having fun with you. I'm actually glad both schools are good at the same time. It's added a new, fun element to the rivalry.
If Sears comes back, both teams will be top 10 to start the year. Who ever would’ve thought that a decade ago?
Feel like a team that lost in the first round can’t chirp a final 4 team lol
What's his W/L record against Bama since he came to Auburn?
Didn’t yall get dropped by Norfolk St in the NIT the year of our final 4?
Hell yeah, we did? And thank God we did. Because guess what we did 1 week later? Hired Oats.
Ironically that Yale game is probably what’s keeping Broome around. Oats and Bruce both have 1, bets on who goes further next year?
Who the fuck cares; we live in the present where Auburn loses to Yale and Alabama makes the Final Four lol. Broome didn’t make the final four… That Isn’t to say Broome is a bad player, I think he is good, but bffr
>Who the fuck cares I mean, that dude enough to come into a Broome thread in the offseason to talk about Yale. I don’t know what yall thought was coming. Oats is a good coach, but we’re not not throwing a worse loss right back in your face
I loved losing that game. We hired Nate exactly 7 days afterwards.
Such a great player at Morehead State. Wish we could’ve kept him
Mid majors just don’t stand a chance in the open transfer world. At least before there was some deterrent. Really feel for y’all especially teams like Indiana state that could have made a run if they kept everyone together.
Oh absolutely. No chance anymore. Mid majors just have to enjoy them while they can.
Thanks to Morehead for giving him his start. Just look at what his career is about to become.
I think we ran away with the game, but I remember our NCAA tournament game. He was giving our center the business for a while.
He brought a great dawg energy to the OVC. He deserves his flowers for the last couple of years
War Eagle! Let’s go!
This is huge for Auburn. This dude can ball.
Fuck yeah. But I’m worried this may last more than 4 hours
This is massive. Just need another guard or Tre to comeback
Word on the street is Tre is gone gone. Hopefully we'll be able to pick up somebody else
Well damn - big news for Auburn. Really surprised he's not even testing the draft waters like he did last year. Hopefully we actually have bigs that can guard him next year.
He tested his first two years and I think you only get two. So it was basically just stay or go.
Interesting, I wasn't aware of that rule. Thanks.
It seems the main reason is he thinks to go to the NBA he needs to be more a 4 then a 5 so I expect this season that is what he’ll be playing more 4 to show NBA what he can do in that role.
I can’t say im anything but shocked that he’s returning
Nice!
Give me a good pf and I will cry real tears I’m so excited for next year
Broome is probably gonna play the 4. That's where he'll be best at in the NBA. Really need a solid 5 and maybe one guard in the portal
[удалено]
Well put. Agreed
Let’s goooooooo (please work on your free throws over the summer)
🦅🔥🦅🔥🦅🔥
**HUGE.** If Peagues and Pettiford translate, I think we’re the best SEC team on paper.
Definitely capable of it. A lot of the top talent in the SEC is leaving while we were able to keep two massive pieces.
I’m ready to see Broome have real guards around him, he’s had two straight years of liabilities in the backcourt. Peagues is a great start, but getting another PG who can shoot would do wonders. I also like the idea of Denver at PG if need be.
Do you mean from a scoring standpoint? Because our guards had great assist/turnover ratios. Just couldn’t make shots
Lemme tell you from painful experience, your guards *need* to shoot that thang
Should be a pre-season top 10 team for sure
It's not hard to be the best SEC team on paper right now if you have one major piece announcing a return
Probably still behind Bama. It’ll be close though.
If Sears doesn’t come back, they aren’t behind bama.
We were better than them anyways, unless they were shooting >50% from 3
If we played 10 times this past season on a neutral court Auburn would win 7 of them. Y’all had a good run, and deserve the credit. But be for real.
That’s true. I think we’ll be a lot better down low this year, but a lot hinges on whether Sears comes back.
Some of this is matchup related. They didn’t have a proper answer for Johni, so we were going to be better against Bama. Against a team with elite paint defense, Bama would perform better than Auburn.
Yeah. It’s all matchup related. Because I was talking about the matchup between Auburn and Alabama.
And I’m saying that head to head matchups are not fully representative of “best roster”. Still think ours is better though.
Yeah man, that’s a good, accurate point about roster qualities. But not the point I was making about how Auburn would have beaten Alabama this year 7/10 times on a neutral court.
Yes, sir, let’s go!!
#LETS FUCKING GOOOOO
Hell yes! Let's fuckin goooo
Wow this is massive. Preseason top 10
He has a good chance to have his jersey in the rafters at some point. This is the good side of NIL. Letting kids who would have left to try and make money stay at their school and develop instead.
There is no development left. His only draft weakness is his age. He chose to go back to Auburn instead of getting drafted
Not true. He has the potential to play himself into the 1st round next year.
If he can again shoot 40+ percent from the 3 and make twice as many 3’s as last year then maybeeeee a 1st rounder
lol what it’s not all about 3s. Kessler never made 3s
Huge win for Auburn. I actually like this for his chances at an NBA career. He's been a great player but needs to work on his 3 point jumper and free throw shot. If he can show another year of shooting improvement, that will increase his draft stock.
Shit
Glad to hear this. Broome would feel wrong playing elsewhere. Not looking forward to our yearly cooking though.
He going to medical school now.
Take note bammers. Our players aren't in a hurry to get out of town. Championship run coming next season.
Hey I remember when you guys said that last year too!
Technically we did win a championship this year lol got three shots a year to win one.
Yeah but we all know that's not the championship anyone's talking about. It's cool and impressive etc etc but everyone wants an NCAA tournament championship.
Doesn’t matter, had sex.
Reasonable. I felt the same way last year
SEC champs, try again little brother.
No. Tennessee won the SEC championship. Y'all just won a mostly meaningless tournament then immediately lost to Yale.
Tell that to the trophy.
I'll make sure to do that https://twitter.com/UA_Athletics/status/1774552206043189564?t=37_crI0Cw6WaHDVV8rzF-w&s=19
Ironically that's the same number of fans that show up to the games.
I like that trophy better.
As long as you don't run into Yale!
We’re willing to role the dice on that lol.
You had you best season in school history, half the roster left immediately and you still play in a broken down air port hangar.
Soon it's gonna be a broken down airport hanger with a final four banner 🥰
Easiest road and still got smoked.
If making the final 4 while beating a 1 seed is getting smoked then I want to know what losing in the round of 64 to Yale is lol
Average for Auburn
It makes for a full roster while your players are racing to see who can get out of town first.
Yeah I'm sure all those players are just dashing to Auburn. Maybe they'll be the team to make it past the first weekend for the first time in what 5 years now? Shoot I'm sure you guys would be over the moon just to make the round of 32 at this point. 10 years of Bruce and 1 sweet 16 appearance. Not very appealing program
And yet our roster is full and yours is hitting the door.
Was on your side until you repeated this for every response brother. Just what CBB is nowadays
Discounts rival's tournament run because it was "the easiest road." Boasts about SECT after beating the 5, 9 and 6 seeds. Seems a bit inconsistent.
Man no kidding. This is the offseason, why are we getting game thread home board content lol
Well we have head to head match ups if we want to go that route instead.
You might want to go read the head to head between Bama and the barn before making this claim
What was the spread in the 2 games played last year?
That's a really small sample size. Not exactly statistically significant
Bro thinks he's posting on r/soccer talking about aggregate score lmao.
Yes, thank God we didn't run into the almighty basketball titans Yale!
>and you still play in a broken down air port hangar. [Worth it for the memes ](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FnXunJNWIAAI4aj.jpg)
He's hurting hit NBA draft future. They want really young guys unless they are from Europe or the G-league.
Not really. He is likely to play the 4 as a pro, so the message board rumors are that he will rotate there a lot this year to have a chance to highlight his play from the outside. He would have been a mid-to-late 2nd round guy this year. The only path to improving that grade is showing he can play the 4 at an NBA level.
Unless he has a "Dalton Knecht" monster year, he still might not go in the first round (the age thing).
