But it’s actually not a bad matchup for us. We can’t let them dictate the pace. If we control the pace and hit our shots at an average pace, we’re in great shape. Agreed. If we can run our transition game and hit the 3s we can win big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
around4ever 4,139 Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 Did anybody else see the live video of the team arriving at Montgomery airport? There was a pretty good crowd. The team went to the fence, high fives and thanked the fans. A reporter aske Bruce for a few questions. Bruce commented 'make it quick, these men have class in the morning.' No breaks for the Final Four team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was Kentucky a bad team to them, or that Virginia just is vastly superior to any of the teams we have played so far? metrics continuously gas (overrate) Virginia year in and year out. They play the most fundamental game one can play, but typically it flames out by this point. They've done a great job of adding "scoring points" to their usual formula though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indy 166 Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 ESPN dedicated over 12 minutes to coverage of Duke losing. Word choice intentional, as they sure made it seem like they lost rather than MSU winning. Auburn's win over UK = 3 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This team has matured over the later part of the season and that blueprint doesn’t phase us near as much as before. Kansas was supposed to beat us because they’re a blue blood, UNC was supposed to run us down and out of the gym, Kentucky was supposed to be too long and too physical and be able to force us out of our game plan. None of that worked because we come together, we fight, and we over come. So bring on Virginia and bring on the final four I think Virginia is way overrated. They have struggled in all their bracket games so far and have played much less opponents. I think NC and UK were tougher. I think we take Virgina down by double digits. MS will be tougher, I think they take out TT. Mainly I just believe in this team they won’t give up. WDE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad he still supports his former teammates. You do know that he only left because of his mother's health issues. There is no woulda, coulda, shoulda when it comes to mom's health. Those calling Virginia over rated should slow their role. If Auburn has an advantage it is depth, but that is a damn good team that plays as a team.

Mikey 16,614 Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 I'd rather play Virginia than Purdue, the Boilermakers were tough! Of course we can still lose to Virginia but I think they are the better matchup for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indy 166 Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 And it continues. Sitting here watching First Take (on Spring Break this week end enjoying time home with the kids!) and we are 40-minutes in to the show. 15 + minutes on Duke. 15 + minutes on LeBron and the Lakers. Nothing on Auburn's first ever Final Four, having beaten KU, UNC, UK in succession (never happened before), and sustaining a loss of one of its top players in the midst of it. NOTHING. But you know what, I love it. This is blatant disrespect and you know these kids and CBP are taking notice. It's more fuel for the fire.

Tiger 8,827 Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 Harper was a freakin killer down the stretch. I need to shout out Bryce Brown for maybe the best game of his career. Feels like he's been outdoing himself with each game during this post-season run. He was playing his ass off yesterday, you could see how spent him and Harper were. This back court is something special. This whole team is. I'm so glad Horace's career doesn't end on a hilarious 3 point attempt and fouling out. LMAOOOO we can all laugh at that now thankfully Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For Auburn. In the Elite Eight. Against a 2 seed. And we won. Can't imagine how this feels for you true, long-suffering, diehard hoops fans.
