Maybe the loss to Ole Miss was a good thing?

Well you get hot win 4 in a row you're in the Final 4. We did that a lot in OOC, but just once in the SEC gauntlet. So when we play tough teams the odds of us winning 4+ are slim. After the SEC started we had a 3 & 4 game W streaks the rest of SEC schedule we never won over 2 in a row.
It can be done because winning 4 in a row in SEC Vandy/LSU/A&M & Bama is hard and we beat A&M & LSU on the road then lost to OM on the road. It can be done but a lot has to do with match ups, Refs and 3 point shooting. I feel our D will be there its the 3 other factors that give me pause.

What does it matter. Auburn is winning it all this year regardless.

Auburn players average age is 23.8 years and OKC Pro team average age is 24.5. Bruce Pearl knows how to push the boundaries without cheating I think. Pearl's talking about getting Chad Baker Mazara the actor who gets hurt every game or plays a player that gets hurt every game'. Pearl is pushing for CBM to get another year. Vandy gets Diego (football) by Nashville judge, Vitello(baseball) tries on Osuna and gets turned down by Knoxville judge. They said there was a precedent but Knox Judge said Nashville judge was wrong on Diego. But Diego Pavia will be playing and Osuna is out this is such a UT thing and ESPN is not involved LOL. You know the Alabama judge is going to allow CBM another year.

Thankfully we won't have to play a tough team in game 1 of the NCAAT, so we should be able to win 3-4 in a row vs. tough teams with the right matchups.

We don't have the scoring or the roster depth, unfortunately, to go deep in the Big Dance.
The loss to MS didn't cure that.

How many points do we need per game ti go deep? What you you define as deep? Elite 8?

NC state didn’t exactly burn the nets last year in the dance yet made a final 4. San Diego State the year before them is the same. Both shot under 35 percent from the field.

You never know, but we do know that you have to have defense. That comforted me until the game Wednesday night, and now I fear a team that has the guys ti do what Ole Miss did. The logical side of me (the smaller side) says that defensive performance was an aberration.

Of course they will. Baker-Mazara played at a JUCO school for at last a year before coming to NCAA.

Knock yourself out. Pearl has shown he's not a great postseason coach and the times he's gone the furthest is with under the radar teams. Teams that were favorites flame out early; and he's made it past the first weekend 1 time at Auburn.

Maybe it happens this year, and they're a great team but they are also very beatable. I would be pretty shocked if they don't get out of the first weekend but I won't be shocked if they don't make the FF.

Speaking of NC state they don’t even get the chance to defend their ACCT title. Kinda ******

Auburn was a very generous call away from losing to Tennessee at Auburn.

I hate to say this, but my gun to head pick to win it all would be Florida right now. I hope I’m wrong (since gun is not to head).

Or stupid Puke. I hate it but they’ll certainly get a favorable whistle and there’s no way their legs are as tired as the teams coming out of the SEC. South Carolina would’ve probably finished 4th in the ACC, maybe higher.

To be fair, that’s partially because of road games and that’s not a thing from here on out.
