re: which way would be better fo au in sec tourney

Um...yes? The way the tournament sets up, we'll (assuming you guys still allow me in the family ) either play Alabama, Mississippi State, or South Carolina in round 1. After that, it gets tough having to play #5 or #6. I really do think game one is easily attainable (not an easy game, but well within the grasp). Auburn would have won tonight if Vandy wasn't so hot from deep or if Auburn had been anything but ice cold from there.
