I think Maryland has one of the best and most balanced starting 5s in the country. Will be a tough game.

They have absolutely no depth though. If we can push it hard after every board I think we can wear them out quickly.

I like Auburn, Michigan State, Florida, Arkansas, Duke, BYU, Houston, and Kentucky.

Not confident at all. We beat Tenn twice because we shot 50% from 3. We either need to play red hot again or UT play like shite.

I think it's more likely that Florida beats them comfortably.

Objectively the cream of the crop. The Arky-Kentucky juice needs to be squeezed so hard if this happens.

I feel like I did about the cyclones, I think on paper they’re a little better but our guys have been playing remarkably well since tourney play started even in Nashville so if we can keep up the intensity I like our chances.

I don't know that we beat Tennessee a third time. But that's alright. Feels like we're playing with house money at this point given the injury/roster circumstance.

Not very good. All of our losses are against SEC teams and I was kinda hoping we would avoid a SEC team for a little while longer.

BYU is playing really well and it's going to be a difficult game. But it's the Sweet 16, so that's kind of how it goes.

Interested to see if playing a team that plays like us is a good thing or a bad thing. We generally play pretty well against teams that stylistically play the game the same as us, but if we don't shoot a little bit better we may just get outgunned.

I love our sweet 16 matchup (Michigan) and I love our potential Elite 8 matchups (Mississippi and Mich State)

Now, all of those 3 can beat us but I like how we match up for strengths and weakness's.

I think it’s our hardest game so far. But we also should be at our strongest with Adou back and Boogie getting back into the flow of things.

Yea, I think Creighton was the worst possible matchup stylistically Auburn had in their bracket because they could do the 2 things that sometimes give them trouble - make outside shots and compete with your bigs with Kalkbrenner. It worked for a half but once Auburn got comfortable with the style of the game and Creighton had a few empty stretches it was over.

Michigan's bigs will be interesting, but their whole drag you out and play you in the pick and roll game won't phase Auburn's bigs and switches at all.

Who leads the nation in scoring per game? Who leads the nation in scoring and doing it in the toughest conference in the country? BAMA only took 17 3s against a team determined to slow it down on every possession and still put 80 points on them. It ain't about the 3s.

UK and Bama play similar styles. Seemed pretty one sided to me.
