We are going to be in the NCAA tournament. We are. Anyone else feel comfortable with that sentence now? It's going to happen. This will not be taken away from us. Right? Right??

Barring injury or a serious collapse, we're in good shape.

Teamrankings gives us a 98.9% chance, so that's nice.

Does Toomers get rolled when we make the tourney, or do we wait until we make it into the Final Four?

As an Auburn basketball fan, I know that the 1.1% chance is where AU historically lives

Barring injury

Speaking of that. Any updates on Brown? He appeared to get hurt towards the end of the game last night.

He looked fine walking around. Just got a bump that probably hurt. Would imagine it would be bruised but fine

7.4% is pretty high all things considered and highest in the conference. It's kind of a BS projection, but it's fun to consider.

I was still in that 1.1% mindset until last night. Barning hard now - I’ve seen very few teams that are playing at the level we are atm. Injuries are the only concern for me, but that’s every team.

Are we peaking too early, though?

I don't think so. I really think this is who this team is. We do so many things right that you have to do to be a good basketball team. And at the end of the day, we have legitimate talent, and talent that plays hard, and when you have both of those things it's hard to see a big drop off in the future.

Now, there are teams that.. when they bring their A game, we simply aren't going to beat them.. Duke, Nova, Virginia, etc.. but that's ok.

Bruce has built the team like a high mid major. Guards that can shoot, undersized but tough, deep, smart, makes their free throws. A trip to the Elite Eight wouldn't shock me at all. But we'll probably run into a good team thats too big on the inside at that point....

Agreed. Similar to those midmajors, I wouldn't be shocked by an sweet16/elite 8 or a game 1 exit
