I don’t understand why Auburn feels the need to showboat after ever single play. It’s corny. KD Johnson will literally make a layup and then stare down the opposing bench. Idk, it may just be me

KD is a Johnson and CBP has never taught him to be classy. Another thing better about CRB as our coach!

I wouldn’t be shocked if Purdue and Houston don’t move at all, or if just Kansas jumps to #1 if they win out. Purdue and Houston had some distance on the rest of the Top 10 so I could see them staying where they are.

No way we pass Purdue unless they lose again this week but I think Houston may drop beneath us imo

Auburn’s schedule looks pretty light. Haven’t compared it to ours/UKs but but they could very well go 15-3. They have a good defense.

Well, I have. They have played one top 25 team, Baylor and lost by 6. They also lost to App. St. But, I think they will finish 3rd in the SEC, behind our Vols and UK.

I meant their remaining schedule vs ours/UKs. I don’t think Arkansas will be so terrible later in the schedule so I think they were fortunate with that one to get them early. Then they have @bama, @UF and @here. I see them taking care of business for the rest +/- 1. Maybe UGA could prove to be difficult, same for us as well.

Gotcha. I think Ole Miss is a lot better than they looked against UT. Still, Auburn is a NCAA lock, probably around a 4 seed and has a great chance to make a Sweet 16, imo

Well firstly, I would argue it’s mainly only KD Johnson that acts like. Rest of Auburn doesn’t really act much more overly “showboat-like” than pretty any other team (or at least certainly not as often as your post claims).

Even as an Auburn fan, I have a love-hate relationship with KD. I think he overdoes it (obviously), often to annoying douche proportion levels, and often makes dumb mistakes because of it. Though on the other hand, his ferocity and attitude can be a damn game changer with the crowd/atmosphere when he does happen to be on his a-game. He could certainly handle himself a bit better though.

Ole Miss is definitely going to improve going through SEC play. They added Brandon Murray and I think one other guy due to the 2 time transfer ruling so they’ll have to gel.

Yea I don’t see us passing either team unless they lose again this seem…however with that said, still great great for us. Those were 2 teams currently projected ahead of us that lost games they weren’t expected to, opens the door a bit more to eventually pass them.

It should also serve as a reminder to everyone, looking at you casuals/drive-by’s, that road games in conference are never to be taken for granted.

While I do agree that KD is the most noticeable and the one who does it the most, I will argue that Caldwell and Broome do it often as well. However, I really don’t have a problem with it, just kids having fun for the most part but it can look kind of corny to do it as often as they do. Just my 2 cents

This has always been the trend for Purdue though. 4th time in the last 2 year they have lost to an unranked team while being #1. First program in history to lose to a 13 seed or higher in 3 consecutive NCAAT. That program always seems to get the benefit of the doubt but has never really shown why they actually deserve it. Everyone saw them as the most likely #1 seed to get knocked out early last tournament. They are too centered around 1 player and that’s why they always get tripped up.

I don’t disagree, much like Virginia was years ago, but doesn’t mean they don’t warrant those high seeds based off their resume.
