Auburn has been the more consistent team the vast majority of the season. In the NCAA tourney as well.

Florida has a higher ceiling.

Condon was they key in the 1st game. His size and athleticism bothered and frustrated Broome. Condon has been MIA since the start of the SEC tourney, been playing really poorly. Hurt ankle now too. Hurt Broome vs hurt Condon probably favors Broome.

Just can't let Clayton get the ball in a close game. Also need to match Haughs and Condons energy which killed them the 1st matchup.

I'd give a very very slight edge to Auburn just because they're way more consistent. We've played quite poorly in the NCAA tourney thus far.

We’re clearly limping. Not an excuse. UF is clearly good enough to beat us even 100%.

Hope this week of rest and rehab does wonders for us.

I’ll wait to see the prognosis on Johni before making any sort of prediction. UF is my biggest concern of the other 3 but its dropping nuts time- everyone’s gonna be a tough tough out

Auburn will have to shoot way better than we have from 3 and from the line to have a chance.

Yeah, but Florida got crazy hot at the end while Auburn slumped.

Auburn played it's best complete game today and had to sweat out the end against the best team we have played. It's been a tale of two halves until the Elite 8 for Auburn.

Don't forget Clayton shooting 50% from 3 in that game too. Broome actually outscored and held the rebound advantage over Condon.

Both teams were banged up (or just getting players back in Florida's case). Auburn got up by a lot early, but Florida had a 10 pt advantage at halftime. While Auburn tried to make a run, it was too little, too late.

Here's to a great Final Four matchup.

Going to be a great game. Clayton has huge nuts we just need our guards to show up too.

Sucks that the Gators and Auburn are on the same side of the bracket it would've been cool for them to play in the Championship game.

Florida has so many competent and capable bigs.

We have an all American, a captain, and an undersized athletic dude.

Florida has a deeper roster.

The final four teams all are capable of winning it.

I would guess Florida and Duke will be favored, but Auburn and Houston could win 2 games as well.

I would guess the odds makers make The favorite:

Duke
Florida
Houston
Auburn

Auburn beat the dogshit out of UF in the SECT last year.

With Broome playing on one arm, I’m afraid it will take a Herculean effort to win.

Yep

Duke +110
Florida +260
Houston +400
Auburn +500


Probably as small a number as the 4th team in the Final Four has had in decades.

Before the two games were played today, I thought I heard on the radio that Auburn was favored of Houston. I guess that dominant performance by the cougars bumped them up.

Well not often all #1 seeds make it either. I could see any of the 4 teams winning it. Looks like the early line is -2.5 Florida, and -4.5 for Duke.

Looks like a bet on Auburn is a good risk vs reward play.
