It seems that each year the method is the same for the Tigers. Shoot the ball enough and see what happens.Coming off a loss to the Troy Trojans, the weaknesses of the Tigers were shown in full force. So far this was their worse game of the season. Auburn allowed the Trojans to shoot as they pleased from the floor. Auburn statistically doesn't look good on paper. The Tigers took twenty more shots than Troy but only managed to make the same amount of baskets as Troy. The team as a whole is still trying to push the ball too quickly instead of getting a good look.This has been the method for the last five years for Auburn. Get the ball up and shoot it. For this writer and fan, it's starting to get a little old. Auburn by far has a capable line-up to make some noise, but the way it has been handled so far has been mediocre at best. Granted, Troy is not a bad basketball team, but therecurrence of sloppy play by the Tigers should make one start to wonder if this team will make the turn when it comes to conference play.The Tigers will have another shot to improve their record against the Virginia Cavaliers. It is still early in the season, but Auburn needs to break away from their old tendencies.Much like by the sword, you can live or die by the shot as well..
