I want to win the regular season the SECT & get through the first weekend of the NCAAT. Tournament basketball is so weird to me. Teams that get a streak at exactly the right time can destroy a bracket.

So we were too tired to beat new Mexico state but then after playing a tough 40 minute game we had the juice to run kansas out of the gym on one days rest? How does that make sense

Remember we were way out west on a short turnaround. Guys just needed time to get their feet underneath them lol.

Speaking of that we aren’t going to get sent out to some far flung regional across the country this year. We’ll most likely be in Lexington. If we survive to the sweet 16 we’ll have that one and the elite 8 in Atlanta, which will be pretty close to being home games for us.

This is absolutely correct. By traveling so far in such a short turnaround. Yes we should have won but also we were wiped by the time we played

same thing hurt us in the Duke game in my opinion. Games there then travel back to Auburn time change again, plus practice I don't think they were well rested for that Duke game.

Y’all are just trolling me now.

We had a full week off before the Duke game and had played 4 real games total at that point.
