Auburn won’t make the elite 8 this year. Calling it now. They are good, but I honestly believe they will lose early in the tournament.

Auburn acting like they just clinched a championship or 1 seed or something lol
Probably a better outcome for us. No way Auburn isn't getting a one seed. We will have to beat out Tennessee for one probably.
not really understanding why TN settled for that shot with that much time on the clock. not exactly high percentage.
Missed an obvious travel by Auburn. Dude who threw it down the court grabbed the ball, jumped in the air, landed , and then tossed it down court.
Dunno. I think Auburn is great but they are awfully cocky. I can see them maybe reaching elite 8 depending on matchups. Pearl seems to fail in the ncaas right?
This exactly.
How many times did we see a Prohm team look terrible then turn around and pull an upset out of nowhere?
Or Hoiberg teams looking like a Final 4 team one week then losing in Lubbock on a Tuesday night when Tech was awful?
Prohm teams sucked, Hoiberg teams were fun, but neither of those coaches compare to Sampson.
Umm, I was kind of comparing them to Devries right now.
Yeah, they've sucked the last 7 days but they are also fully capable of taking down Houston at home.
Houston also has to go to Tech, Arizona and Baylor, and they aren't immune to slipping up against us, Kansas, or Tech at home either.
Prohm couldn’t even do jack **** with those loaded Hoiberg players his first two years.
The Shayok team was the worst underperformance job I thought sadly. They all were though
If you follow Kenpom, there are six teams that have separated themselves:
Dook
Auburn
Houston
Tennessee
Iowa State
Florida
My guess is one of these is national champs.

Basically agree but every year I think Tennessee is gonna be a contender and they always fold.
Minnesota is tearing up the B1G. Lol! That conference is a joke.
As of now bracketologists have 10+ teams making it. For now I can kinda sorta see it but those mid level teams are all gonna beat up on each other.
Michigan state
Michigan
Illinois
Purdue
Maryland
Oregon
Wisconsin
Those teams are pretty much locks unless wheels fall off.
The rest gotta really start winning.
Houston still goes into offensive funks. Slasher, end of shot clock, bucket getters like Jones, Gilbert, or Shead of last year they are lacking. Roberts for a big guy is their best guy at it.
