Game results and final scores aside, Auburn basketball has seen their leading scorer hit a dry spell, free throws and open shots bounce in and out and their layup percentages drop. The team has hit just about every checkpoint for a troubled offense.
There are still reasons to believe Auburn can get back on track, based on the last two seasons and the potential that the Tigers have already shown.
Identifying the problem is easy: Auburn needs to score more points, particularly in their half court offense.
Identifying the solution is a lot harder, and I’m sure Bruce Pearl and Auburn’s coaching staff are already miles ahead of me, but here’s what I hope to see happen…
Auburn has been at their best under Pearl when the Tigers can knock down shots and space defenses out.
