Men get New Mexico State as 5 seed

[AU64 8,694]

Could we be any further from home?   But a 5 seed

[djg0017 726]

Thought that was a bad seeding

We just got hosed

[around4ever 3,043]

I thought for sure we would bump up to a 4 seed. 

New Mexico State is a tough draw.  They would be a higher seed if not in the WAC.

If Moo State is a 5 seed, AU is a four at worst

[Jgarrett7 205]

That’s a rough draw, but maybe they keep playing with a chip on their shoulder

Heading to Salt Lake City for the 1st 2 rounds of the NCAA tournament.   Playing New Mexico State.

That seed and draw shows that the committee didnt watch the SEC title game this afternoon. What a joke.

[WarTiger 2,950]

I think this adds proof that the tournament performance doesn't really mean much (unless you are a bubble team and run the table). 

[Brad_ATX 4,915]

Brutal, brutal draw for us.  Going across the country to play Thursday after playing 4 in 4 days scares the hell out of me.

If we keep playing the way we have the last month, we could have a very satisfying win over Kansas and we could stand toe to toe with UNC to try to make it to the Elite 8.

Dont like the seeding nor location - got screwed - but I think we have a good shot at the sweet 16.

[djg0017 726]

Yikes yikes yikes, just not a good bracket for us

This is my thoughts exactly.  

Of course our SEC tourney set up was perfect!  So this wasn’t unexpected.

Auburn should have been  a 3 or 4 seed plus the location and pairing are not the best, but thrilled they are in the big dance.

[Maverick.AU 3,772]

Regardless of the tourney I’m extremely happy. The way things were trending midseason, and to where we are now, this team accomplished so much.

[GwillMac6 10,351]

Wish we got Miss St draw. We got absolutely effed over. New Mexico St and potentially Kansas?! 7 wins in a row does nothing for the committee?! COME ON!!!! We have a hard road just to even win 1 game in the tourney. 

[AuburnEagle79 400]

Ridiculous. We should have been a 4 seed. I wanted the Gonzaga bracket. The magic will have to continue for us to make it out of this one.

How can you tell? Their schedule reads like a list of online schools.

Just like everyone else, I feel like we got screwed in the seeding and the location.

Time to strap it up!
