I’ll take Auburn this year.

History suggests the same for about 99.9% of current college coaches, does it not? If I said you had to bet your house right now on who wins the national title, a coach with a title or a coach without a title which are you taking?

Coach K, Smith, prime Pitino, knight, and Hurley are top shelf.

If I had to bet this year my money is on either auburn, Duke or UConn. I think Auburn gets it done this year and Pearl gets his first Natty.

It's just as likely none of those teams will win it. The odds wouldn't suggest it anyway. If anyone from the SEC wins it beside us, I would rather see Florida win it, as much as I dislike them. No one from the Big1G will win it. SEC, Big 12 or ACC

I have a damn near photographic memory. Got pros and cons.

Everything since age 1 is in my head.

You all own space, some more than others but yeah u got a room. You don’t have a bed though. I make u sleep on the floor. Only Pearl fans get beds. 😁

I loved Pearl until he threw his assistants under the bus, lied to the administration and then did things he was told specifically not to do. I didn't care that he had a BBQ with a too young Aaron Craft there. That kind of stuff happened often. It wouldn't have been a program/career setback if he had followed directions afterwards. That's why he was never considered for a rehire. It actually had nothing to do exclusively with the BBQ

Eff @NEO , straight trolling. I hope he remembers this, 🖕. Pearl is a piece sh!t human being. I'll give you a hundred to one odds that Auburn doesn't win it all. If you do not understand, that means I put up $100 to your $1 that Pearl and his thugs don't win it all. I prefer PayPal, but I have Venmo and CashApp, also

I'm assuming the entirety of the post wasn't directed towards me?

So 2/3 of your predictions would be coaches to win their first ever NCAAT?

I love @BernardKingGOAT and most of all, I agree with him. If BK doesn't blow out his knees, he may be Jordan level, imo. In fact, he led the league in scoring while Jordan was still playing, iIrc

Easily greatest player at UT. Arguably best ever in the SEC. It's either Bernard or Pistol

Bernard made All NBA after tearing and rehabbing both knees before anyone in any major sport did anything remotely close to it. His greatest feat as a professional

And not only that, BKGOAT is an accomplished bicycle rider and he’s going to teach me how to keep up with him!

(Inside joke from the post-tOSU madness)

But in all seriousness, @BernardKingGOAT is good people. Quality poster.

Your adorable. I love how everyone makes this so personal like I just kicked your dog or f’d your wife. I think Barnes will get knocked out sweet 16. I could be wrong. He could get knocked out elite 8. Never said he isn’t a good man. Just said he can’t win it all. Some can. He can’t.

Thanks for the math lesson. It was enlightening.

Fair unemotional response.

I am reading now that Dubar (or his handlers) is upset over lack of pt. I can understand that
and I don't understand why it appears that he is in coach's doghouse. We really need all
hands on deck. Can't blame a senior transfer for complaining when he isn't getting pt. He's
looked good when he plays.

We’re fine unless another injury occurs. Barnes wasn’t going to play a 10 man rotation anyway. He never has. In fact, he’s never played more than an 8 man rotation in meaningful minutes.

If another player gets injured, especially in the post, we’re screwed, though. The JP injury is the meaningful loss here. Losing Carr doesn’t mean much.

Just need this to be it, as far as injuries go, and we’re fine.

You can't say we're fine, then in the next sentence say if we lose another person we are screwed.

The reality is there is no cushion. It's a thin team at this point with only one post player off the bench. Igor can slide down if we go small but a fast paced game or foul trouble will create a problem.

Seriously? The guy who stepped away from his new program to start the season is now complaining about PT? In my mind he was 1 foot out the door due to some issue the team kept quiet about. So when players were grinding it out to establish the rotation and minutes, he wasn’t participating but now he’s going to complain about his minutes - unbelievable. Guess the concept of earning PT has passed both Dubar & Carr by.

Where are you reading this? Surely not from $hit stirrer Basilio who likes to try and fabricate or embellish to drive up clicks.

Actually, I can. We’re fine with what we have right now. If we lose another, we’re not fine. See, one is our current state. The other is a hypothetical state that may or may not manifest.

Alabama is deep right now. If they go through a rash of injuries, then they won’t be.

This isn’t football. It’s not like injuries are inevitable. How many players did Tennessee lose last season?

We still have one more scholarship player (9) than Barnes typically employs in his rotation (8). So yes, we’re fine.
