Dual-Threat Rigby 8,668 Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 Pretty much just copying this Al.Com article: https://www.al.com/auburnbasketball/2019/03/a-look-at-auburn-womens-basketballs-ncaa-tournament-resume.html "Best Wins: Home vs. Missouri (No. 27), Neutral vs. North Carolina (No. 34), Away vs. New Mexico (No. 54), Away vs. LSU (No. 64), Away vs. Arkansas (No. 96) Worst Losses: None It might not seem true, but it is. Auburn has zero bad losses this season. Their losses came to teams ranked in the RPI (No. 9, No. 11, No. 15 No. 18, No. 27, No. 21, No. 63 (twice))" To me, it just seems like we have a grip of really solid wins, and no particularly bad losses. What was interesting to me is that we were 6-2 on the road in conference, but 3-5 at home. I know we played some real heavyweights here, but that's quite odd. Hopefully as they start rounding out the depth with an increased level of talent, we begin shoring up home. Not to constantly compare them to the men's squad, but that was the first big step they took in becoming semi-elite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is we lack a lot of really signature wins, but as the article said... no bad losses. 9-7 in the league will not be left out though. Bama beat Vandy so we play the Tide Thursday night. Get by them, and we draw Texas A&M who is without their star, Chennedy Carter, due to a finger injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I try to make a point not to make fun of anyone's spelling of a name, but something like Chennedy gives me medium blood pressure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warladytigers 172 Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 We were about 3 seconds away from going into OT with A&M - we should have won that game.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our advantage tonight is that Chennedy is out for them. Their advantage is that they are fresh and we had to play last night. Scoring is tough in tournament play, but after the LSU and Bama games, I am hoping we have a better shooting night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AU9377 4,930 Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 We are a projected 10 seed. As of today, that would likely place us into a bracket playing Stanford. That makes for a quick trip back to Auburn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
