Will he be back at full strength this week? It'll be tough to play Kansas without him

We need them to beat Kansas as a conference.

From all accounts, he's day to day right now which suggests it's a sprain but not anything serious enough to put him out for weeks.

I wouldn't be surprised if they sit him against Tennessee but he plays against Kansas. Especially if they want to get Hawkins time at the point (he held his own better than Briscoe against USCe).

Hoping he doesn't play.

VOLS should have beat UNC without Berry if not for an epic second half collapse, hope we get UK without Fox, too.

That Kentucky beating Kansas does nothing for the "conference"

Its a 3 bid league

It will be 4 bids unless some fluke team is left standing when the dust settles

If Auburn somehow lucks into finishing with 22W (maybe 21W) + win @TCU, they'll make it 5bids (unless they are bid4). Their OOC has multiple road/neutral wins vs P5 competition

A lot of those teams have really let y'all down though. Oklahoma and UConn would usually be great wins, but both are terrible this season. Right now Texas Tech is your only good win.

Just heard Joe Lunardi this am, said it is a 3 bid for the SEC with Arkie and maybe UGA making it in.

Auburn could easily go 8-4. A win or two in the tournament would put us in.

I disagree. Mediocre conference record with one maybe two if ya'll beat TCU good OOC wins isn't getting you in the tournament in this shitty conference. Auburn right now has only 2 RPI top 100 wins.

Didn't realize Fox was as good as he was until we played. Dude was so quick and such a good finisher. I was really impressed with him and Monk, but I guess, who isn't? That Willis kid is good too, nailed some clutch 3's when we had some momentum going.

That being said, Thornwell is a stud too!

Counting a win @TCU and 8-4 puts Auburn at 21-10 overall and 10-8 in conference with at around 4 top 50 RPI wins and another 5 top 100 RPI wins.

This is assuming we lose to SCar, UF, and two out of OM, UGA, UT, Arky, and bama.

I don't think this is super unrealistic. But more than likely Auburn is a solid NIT team this year and goes 6-6 in its last 12 games.

I do however think that if Auburn continues to gel and play well that we are deep enough and talented enough to make a run in the SEC tourney. Probably not enough to win it but 3 wins there would go a long way to making a case.
