We have absolutely ZERO quality wins. Every ranked team we have faced (other that Washington who is now unranked) has beaten us.

1-5 versus ranked teams. And as I said, Washington isn't a quality win now.

I'm feeling pessimistic.

We played to the final possessions vs UK, Duke full strength, LSU and NCST. 3 of those 4 games were neutral/road too.


Our only chance to go far in the NCAAT is if role players start hitting open shots though

I’d argue we have 6-7 quality wins.

There are 347 division 1 basketball teams. We are better than somewhere between 320-325 of them, and it seems like we are improving. So, needless to say, we are good and this is a great season for us.

when we are good, we are really good.

when we are bad, we aren't very good.

We are Auburn!

Someone should start an ongoing basketball thread so we can discuss these things

There's 3 new threads on this board a week.

You'll get over it.

Way better than anything Barbee put on the court.

Good enough to compete with the best for the most part. Are they good enough to win anything meaningful in March? Not sure yet

But damn sure glad we get to find out instead of resigning ourselves to watching team lose on Wednesday next week & be done with the season

You act like we are ranked in the top 10 and are a projected 1-2 seed

We were at one point (#8), and then continually shite the bed versus ranked teams.

This year is similar to 2017 in football. Ten wins and a few positive moments, but no hardware.

Still a spectacular season historically speaking

No doubt. Pearl had a slow start of course finding the team. Now we should be a conference contender for a while.

If he has us in the tourney every year for a bit, that's a huge accomplishment.

Which is why we aren’t ranked any more and are looking at a 6-7 seed

I'd say we've been improving the past 8-10 games. For some reason I'm decently optimistic. Honestly not sure how I feel about Wiley potentially coming back in and changing our style of play again.

LOL

You mean the year we beat two #1 teams?

Yea, not exactly like that in Basketball. The best team we have beaten is not unranked


Plus we did play for the SEC Championship.
