You do realize there’s a big difference in us being favored to win every game and us being capable of losing a game, right?

Ok name a team you are comfortable betting against us on a neutral court. We’d be favored against anyone

That’s not what you said

I am very comfortable in saying we will lose an SEC game

I’d take us over anyone. I think we came out tight feeling the pressure of the big game at home. We got whatever the hell we wanted on offense after we got over that. Even with TyTy I don’t think the result would have been different.

Look around the top 10 or so. Every single one of those teams has flaws I think we would expose in a massive way. We might be flawed but not fatally.

Yeah it’s basketball and we could literally lose any game any night. But even on that point the sheer competitiveness of these guys we have puts us a leg up. That’s why we have won 15 straight and why are are number fricking one.

Do you remember that our final four team should’ve lost to some no name team in the NCAAt but didn’t only because the opponent missed consecutive free throws with no time remaining. That’s how close any team is to losing a dream season.

Kentucky was once undefeated until the final four. Nobody is unbeatable. Our best case scenario is escaping death traps while other great teams get caught in marche madness snares.

UCF over Duke type games can mean a lot to our chances

It says Wheeler had 36 minutes. I saw national guys and UK fans falsely claim that he missed most of the 2nd half. Kentucky fans did a lot of whining, but it must have worked.

They did but that team beat us. I’d rather not play them again. I’d like our chances against the Cinderellas instead.

Pretty quiet Saturday. For all the bashing of Auburn, we're by far the most entertaining thing in their sport.

I bet there are 4 or 5 teams vegas would favor over us on a neutral site including UK.

He is. Sometimes you gotta get lucky, and we got really lucky there.

Winning the SEC tournament really worked against us. Had to play a game against a 30 win team on short notice.

We were also the only 5 seed to escape that opening weekend that year.

Why does ESPN BPI hate us? The efficiency rankings now have us around 5 now, but BPI kept us around 10?

Edit: or is it not updated yet?

Walker Kessler is 13/16 from the FT line in SEC play. That's around 81 percent.

I want for our team to earn a #1 seed if at all possible.

That is a reasonable goal at this point

Arizona is hungry. I have no problem with them unlike the rest of their conference.

Altitude played a factor with fatigue at the end but they pushed through. Good times![img]Icons/Iconcheers.gif[/img]
