How did it go?
Word is that we didn't look good against Auburn...
Was that reported somewhere? Would like to read the report.
I especially agree with this. Since no one can officially report anything about the scrimmages without repercussions, anything you see has to viewed with suspicion.Let me answer that for him. There has been nothing reported that we didn't look good against Auburn. Self-fulfilling prophecy!!
From everything that I have seen, there has been exactly one tweet that stated Auburn won both halves and that they hit 18 three's.
Otherwise, nothing substantial has been reported. All kidding aside, anyone that puts much stock into any of these reports (or even these scrimmages) needs their heads examined.
This. Kind of. I agree that the fact there were no injuries is a huge success (see Okogie last year). Also agree that scrimmages are not fluid and is not representative of an actual game. There is so much stop and go, situational play, lineup experimenting, etc, determining a winner or loser in terms of score is kind of pointless.If we came out of the scrimmage without any injuries, then I consider it a success. That is my only criteria. Since you can't win or lose a scrimmage, I would imagine there is a lot of experimenting with lineups and plays. How we looked is meaningless. All that matters is how we grow as a team.
Word I heard was we lost each half
True, that is a bad choice of words. If we looked absolutely clueless and inept, that would not be meaningless.This. Kind of.

Where I would disagree is with you saying 'how we looked is meaningless' - there are always good things you can learn from your team when they go up against someone else with a different scheme, different players, etc.
I'm a big fan of scrimmages and what they show you about your team - but if you're only looking at the final score you're doing it wrong.

How did it go?
Did Devoe play? All I really care about
I'm pretty sure that he didn't, but I also think that Pastner mentioned ahead of time that he wouldn't be back in time for it.
He was just cleared for practice less than a week ago. The goal (hope) is that he is back for the first game.
