During the 2nd half of the Alabama @ LSU game back in November

… 99% of you were watching a worthless blowout while bama routed LSU 42-13.
Meanwhile the Auburn folks were watching Auburn basketball battle it out against Houston in Houston. Auburn won 74-69 in an absolute classic.
I told my wife that night I felt like both teams were good enough to make it to the Final Four. That was Houston’s last and only loss of the season during regulation.
Hoping the Gators can pull this one out. Either way, this Houston team is the real deal. As is obviously Florida.
I know people want to think this year’s Duke team is one of the best all time, but this is one of the few seasons where I think the 2 best teams are actually playing for the title. Go Gators.

We've played Houston 3 of the last 4 years. All 3 have been fantastic basketball games. Wish we could keep doing it every year moving forward.
Hard not to respect the core principles of Sampson's program.

Guess the OP doesn't know we beat them this year, too.

Yes. Another bullet point that shows the state of Alabama is becoming a basketball juggernaut… half of Houston’s losses were to Auburn or Alabama.

Of course I know. I watched it. Why the F do you think I need to mention bama?

A pretty amazing book, the most amazing, says “For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven…”
November is football season. March is basketball season. The Bible says so.
ETA: But the OP is correct, there were some great early season out of conference basketball games. Auburn versus Houston, Iowa State, North Carolina, Duke and Purdue. Alabama against Purdue, North Carolina, Houston, Illinois, Oregon and Creighton. And that was just the two Alabama schools.

There is no such thing as a worthless blowout against a SEC school in football

I watched every second of Alabama/LSU and pretty sure I watched the entire 2nd half of Houston/Auburn.

The SEC Championship banner is already hung.
The Final Four banner will be hung in due time.
Thank you for your concern.

Is there a particular reason you chose to dump on LSU with your OP?
Don’t be salty you’re not playing tonight but it was an incredible season for Auburn.

I can’t help that you were the opponent on the end of the beatdown. I was rooting for you in the first half, but at halftime, I was glad to have a better game to watch.
