Bruce just owns Barnes, always has. Auburn is the kind of team that is just perfectly built to beat us, plus we shot our load against Kentucky the night before.

I am most worried about Cincinnati, but if we can survive that game, I think we match up well with everybody else in our bracket.

He's had our number the last 2 years. I thought we got a great path though and now that the brackets have been released, I like our 2 seed in the South over the 1 seed in the West that we would have gotten had we won the tournament. Having to play Cincy as a 2 seed in what will basically be a home game for them is trash, but if we can't beat them in the Rd of 32 after just knocking off UK in Bridgestone with 16k UK fans in attendance then we don't deserve to advance to the Sweet 16 anyways IMO.

FWIW:

Dick Vitale has us losing to Duke in the Championship game
Jay Williams has us making it to the Final 4
Reece Davis has us making it to the Final 4
Jay Bilas has us losing to UVA in the Elite 8
Steve Smith has us losing to Michigan St in the Championship
