In his 5 Tournaments, Auburn was seeded 4, 5, 2, 9, and 4.
If expectations are met from a seed standpoint, that should have produced 8 NCAA Tournament wins. During this period, Auburn has 7.
That’s just slightly under expectations. Would have been nice to have several deep runs, but coming up one game shy of what were expectations is not necessarily all that egregious.
I think what’s more important is the fact that Bruce has taken a previously dead program to 5 of the last 6 NCAA Tournaments, and had it not been for covid it would be 6 of the last 7.
That’s a remarkable accomplishment.

And FYI, doing this same exercise for Oats shows he’s under performed in the Tournament even more so from a seeding standpoint.
As a 2, 6, 1, and 4 seed, Oats should have 10 NCAA Tournament wins if he had simply met expectations…. He has just 8. So he’s -2.
