We played two teams we already beat + the SEC’s 6th best team. TN & UK both losing killed our already distant remote chances at a 3-seed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best team AU beat in a TRUE road game was 20-12 Ole Miss, who didn’t make the tournament.

aucat 69 Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 in this Yale game CBP may empty the bench in the first 10 min to let the starters rest early to think about Uconn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think CMo has been up around 15 minutes, which is a lot higher than where he was a while ago, but usually CBM gets a bit more burn than the other starters. They also will probably stagger some guys if they have the hot hand. They rode Denver out for a while after he came back from foul trouble in the second half of the SEC CG, and he was shooting the lights out. You're gonna have so little organic momentum around you in the crowds, I don't think they can afford to do anything but play balls to the wall until the game gets to its waning moments. Those hugely blown leads we've had may simply get you killed in these truly neutral sites 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikey 16,603 Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 It looks like a number of our posters here are letting the seeding spoil the SEC tournament championship. Seeding in the NCAA tournament is what it is for every team. We should enjoy our SEC win. I recorded the game and will watch the whole thing again in a little while. If AU plays well enough to win the whole thing, seeding won't matter anyway. War Eagle and On To Victory! 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cardin Drake 1,828 Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 (edited) The seeding sucks and had we beat Tennessee and Kentucky to win the tournament it might be different. We are where we are and the truth is we haven't beat anybody of note on the national stage this year except for Bama at home. I'm happy we may have a shot at UConn. Win that one and all the talk goes away, and then UConn can go home and talk about their lousy seed. I can't get too worked up about Yale, but you have to respect anybody who is here and be ready to play. If we get by that one, it is very sobering to realize that San Diego State is rated higher in KenPom (21, just ahead of Kansas) than anybody we have beaten this year, outside of Bama. We better bring our A game or we'll be going home after that one. Edited March 19 by Cardin Drake 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO it was a lazy, hack job to have all the seeds done prior to the conference tournaments ... the committee basically just told the college basketball world that those silly things don't matter I will stand by my statement that we got jobbed ... not advocating for a 1 or 2 but could've easily been a 3 ... with that said & as others have pointed out ... if we're going to win the natty we probably would have to beat UCON somewhere along the way btw I think a lot of folks here are underestimating Yale ... they are very disciplined & can shoot the three ...

WillMunny 1,378 Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Just out of curiosity, I browsed around on some Uconn fan forums today and saw some interesting posts about Auburn. They are worried. This post was typical: The teams that win the tourneys are typically the ones trending at the right time. Look at Auburn for example. They had to go play @ Florida and @ Tennessee with no return games. There wasn't really much separation at the top of the SEC. Tennessee was 14-4 then 4 teams came in right behind them at 13-5. I watched them destroy South Carolina. Win a terribly officiated wrestling match against Mississippi State lol, and pull away from Florida twice and end up blowing them out as well. They are #5 in the net. They are literally 2 opponent rankings away from 5 Q1 wins. Mississippi State is #31 (need to be 30) and South Carolina is #51 (need to be 50). They were the only team in college basketball with a top 10 offense and top 10 defense. They are #7 in the latest coaches poll. They are #4 in Kenpom. They won 27 games and 26 of those wins were by double digits. Don't even get me started on Iowa State who is right there with them. There isn't a single thing that screams #15 (3rd 4 seed) in regards to Auburn. They should have been the #3 in UNCs bracket. Don't even get me started with Iowa State lol. They beat Houston 2/3 times. Houston is also dealing with injury issues and are short handed. I would much rather play Tennessee or Houston vs Auburn or Iowa State at this point. I know we're good enough to win it all and should win it all. I still think the path we gotta go through compared to everyone else is nonsense. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerPAC 965 Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 UConn is great but this old fart lives day by day, one game at a time. It’s true AU and UConn got shafted on the brackets. As Al Davis used to say, “just win baby.” 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to see a walk but expecting a tough game FL hit 14 threes the day prior to only hitting one against AU. As a whole, SC, MSU & FL hit 7 threes against AU. We'll be ready for the three-ball. New Mexico St. gave us all we wanted five years ago in Round 1. They pushed that team around a bit. Yale is too thin and too finesse to push this team around.

This right here ^^^^^. Didn’t say anything when they were complaining but it’s a bad look on our coaches part. Just say…we are glad to be in the tournament and have to play a tough Yale team. End of story. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
