I haven't lived in Bham in 15 years. Yes it's at the BJCC. It's named Legacy Arena now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just hopeful the location can pull a few things in our favor. Whenever we have a really good team that wins the SEC regular season title, we never get past the 2nd round. The Final Four team had 9 losses during the regular season and finished 4th in the SEC regular season standings. So I'm hoping this years team can make a little run and hopefully get past the first weekend. WDE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUBwins 10,107 Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 Playing in Birmingham helps a lot, but this region is tough. Times are up. 6:50 for Auburn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUBwins 10,107 Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 Love it. Can watch Auburn and UL Louisiana the same evening right after each other. (I used to live in Lafayette) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUBwins 10,107 Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 I bet we struggle more with Iowa than Houston. If we beat Iowa, we beat Houston. That's my bold prediction. I think being in Bham helps. Also if Bama faces Arizona or Baylor, they don't make Final 4. Would love for Virginia or Miami to beat them though just for the haha moment we got teased for. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are in a tailspin to end the season. I wouldn't even pick them to get to Bama. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuscAUse! 1,499 Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 We got beat by Miami. Ran into a buzz saw. We never got beat by Virginia, and the players on their team know it. Don't get me started. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WillMunny 1,384 Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 Not gonna be surprised if CBP somehow gets us to the Sweet 16. He is capable. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AURex 2,054 Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 (edited) I like starting out in Bham. Can't figure out why Iowa is an 8 seed and Auburn a 9 seed. I'm not complaining about the draw, given how bad we've played in recent weeks. I'm just confused about the Iowa seeding. And apparently, Iowa is favored over Auburn in this game. Okay, why?

The lions roar 119 Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 Just bought tickets. The way this season played out, I didn’t think they would be playing in Birmingham. Surprising opportunity for this team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Son of A Tiger 576 Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 The BJCC and the Legacy Arena are not the same floor but adjacent. The game will be played in the Legacy Arena. Nice area, good parking close by, and several good eating places, bars, etc. See map: The BJCC – Birmingham, Alabama Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weagl1 1,789 Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 If they could just hit some shots in the clutch they could go somewhere in the tournament. Same way they could have beaten Bammer on their home court, Arky the other day and numerous other losses this year. Woulda, coulda shoulda. I hope something changes but I will have to se it to believe it. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd almost rather be a high 9 then a low 8 to garauntee a better 1 seed draw. Before the bracket reveal, I would have rather been a 10 seed to try and get a 2 seed in the rd of 32. But with how the draw came out, I think I'd rather play Houston than any of the 2 seeds. It's a favorable draw, but we have to execute, or all the favorable draws in the world won't help us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, when rolling through the bracket, it gets more favorable from there. Obviously Miami showed what they can do to us, but I think we would have a good plan for them this time around. Indiana had some time in the sun but if we get to them with that momentum of beating 1 seed, I can see us continuing. If we get to sweet 16, i think we would believe in ourselves a bit and get on a roll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SEC tourney started and people were getting all excited about facing A&M without giving Arkansas too much thought. That Iowa game is going to be tough, Bham aside. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just thoughts after filling out a bracket. I think this first one is the one that is most concerning. Edited March 13, 2023 by AUBwins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RunInRed 16,528 Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 All things considered, a decent draw … pretty low expectations tbh though after seeing the season unfold the way it has. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
