The Pembroke Postgame Report (Auburn)

[lidderer]

so ya, I guess we've resigned ourselves to a 6 seed at best then

Don't expect the seeding to matter, this team will be lucky to make it to the 2nd round.

My problem with this team is taking care of the ball. We are too careless with the ball. True, Auburn is adept at thievery, but we try to make passes that just look impossible to finish. Hang onto the ball when all those gnats are grabbing at it, and please quit trying to make impossible passes.

Lucky? We'll have to play poorly to miss the weekend

Good, if you believe that you should start ripping all the people who criticize Memphis.

You mean the final 4 team from last year that most experts think will get there again.... Yes ripping them is a bit insane

I think you mean "cretin" which is a medical condition due to infantile hypothyroidism leading to mental retardation and synomous with moron and stupid.

Nevertheless, the Pembroke post game reports are excellant.:salute:

"All Cretans are liars." That was the metaphor that came to mind. Still misspelled, unless there is a french pork spread joke of which i am not aware.

I'm going to enjoy pulling this post up Sunday night when pretty much nobody picks Memphis to reach the Final Four.

I'd say we have a very good chance to make the second round, and I'd also say that seeding does in fact matter. I'd rather have the 5/6 we are headed for now than the 8/9 we were staring down on Friday. Also, we've performed very well over the last 5 games, with 4 very good performances and one stinkbomb. If we can keep it up then the Sweet 16 may be a possibility.

Did'nt you also predict a loss to bama in their first game of the tourney??

When is the last time the SEC has only gotten 3 teams in? I can't remember offhand.

Not near as good as last year...

I don't think the SEC has had less than 4 since the expansion to 64 teams.

Not even remotely close.

I think you mean excellent.

Yeah, I guess you're right. Well, we'll see what happens tomorrow night.

There will be teams with RPIs in the 40s and 50s who will get left out. It's a pretty wild twist that Mississippi State, of all teams, could burst a bubble by beating UT tomorrow.

For Auburn, I firmly believe that today's game was a play-in game for the Dance, and they didn't get it done. But you never know - certainly Lebo and Co. will be pulling for UT with every fiber of their being tomorrow.

If we can keep it up then the Sweet 16 may be a possibility.

It's all about the draw, though. There will be a few 11/12/13 seeds who can and will absolutely give UT fits. And there will be a few that we can and should obliterate. The range of possibilities is anywhere from a first-round exit to the Elite Eight (yeah, I said it - the provisos being a great draw and playing up to the team's talent level.) We get North Carolina or Memphis in the Sweet 16, we've got a shot. We get UConn or Pitt or Louisville, we probably get blown out.
