autigeremt 6,661 Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 This is better than being a 1 seed! I love it! We are Auburn, and we’re coming with the wind at our backs and a sword in our hand. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we play better with a chip on our shoulder.   Also, this draw isn’t as bad as the one we had in 2019! the coaching staff is not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viper 3,132 Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 1 minute ago, AU Is Gold said: At least everyone agrees it makes zero sense. Obviously not everyone. SOME of us predicted it. You others chose to ostrich your head in the sand, predict a "guaranteed 3 seed" and looked forward to SOME of us returning to eat crow. If you acknowledge history, accept it and learn from it, you might be a better prognosticator next time instead of criticizing those who warned you it was coming. @AU Is Gold @KillenTime Dig in...

Dual-Threat Rigby 8,713 Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 This does seem like a somewhat better UConn roster to have to play than last year's. Still deserve to be the top overall seed after Houston got slapped up, but I think the one from last year had a pretty insane roster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abw0004 10,134 Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 Just remember, we were saying the same thing back in 2019 with our selections.  Got to go through the big guys eventually.  Bring them on. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got em right where we want em. I'm thinking Uconn is not too pleased to see us in their way. I don't think anyone wants to play us because they know it will be a knockdown, drag out dogfight to the level they haven't had to play much this year. Florida did their darndest to stay out of half-court basketball against us today. That was telling. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheese and crackers, I am so glad our team isn't the whiney butts some of you guys are. We made the dance. Almost every team is good. We won the SEC tournament. Every team we played was good. Is there ever a time some of you can ever be happy? My guess is if we won it all , you'll immediately start whining about recruiting or whatever. Remember Bruce hasn't won a tournament game since 2019? When we didn't even play in two of them? Yeah. War Eagle. If we win it all , we're gonna have to play whoever, whenever. And if we don't, it was a helluva year. War Eagle. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TuscaloosaTiger 285 Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Selection Committee Chairman stated that two of the main factors in bracket placement were Quad 1 wins and wins on the road. Home wins were diminished as a primary factor. These criteria hurt us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viper 3,132 Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 1 hour ago, arktiger1975 said: Well, this put a damper on the weekend. How so? Was well-circulated we were a strong 5-seed going in. Of SC, MSU and FL, we beat no one worthy of launching us 5 spots up the ladder into a weak 3-seed. I pointed this out on Friday after the top 3 seeds went down. That path of three mediocre teams cemented us as a 4-seed. We are SEC Tournament Champions for only the 3rd time in our history. Nothing damper about that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillMunny 1,383 Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Just a few short hours after Auburn won a big SEC Championship, we learn that we draw the worst NCAA 4-seed, when we kinda thought we deserved a 3-seed. Talk about having no time to celebrate... It's a bummer. More to some than others, of course. If I had to guess, I'd say that our lopsided home loss to KY on Gameday mattered more to the Committee than did our SEC Championship. That reasoning would fall in line with the Committee giving KY a 3-seed. But like someone said, if we win the whole thing, we'd have to beat great teams along the way anyway. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BustemBigBlue 178 Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 I thought I saw a graphic on the screen during warm ups that said a win would likely move us to a #2 seed? Did I imagine that or was it just wildly inaccurate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
