Auburn's team is flawed. Zero bigs. One off shooting night and they are going home. Still think Kentucky wins the SEC.

Austin Wiley would give us a big projected to be drafted in the first round. That is why I said Auburn is a legit tip 10 team with him

You’re the one that wouldn’t pay it if you lost. You’d come up with some lame excuse why they lost like someone was hurt or that game really didn’t mean anything.

It is probably worth betting on just in case Austin Wiley wins his appeal.


You'd be worse with him if he just got inserted now. None of the sets Auburn runs currently would suit Wiley. All he'd do on offense is get fed the ball while the other four guys watch, or watch while the other four guys try to make plays outside.

On defense, he'd take away Auburn's ability to switch almost everything, and he is a liability defending the pick and roll. RJ Barrett and Canada picked on him all game when the Team USA U19s lost to them.

Wiley will help Auburn with an offseason for Bruce to integrate him in. If they just threw him in now, it wouldn't work out. I thought they would've been better not starting him midseason last year also.

I can see Auburn getting hot and making the elite 8 or even a final 4. We basically have a great Mid_major team that in the right bracket can make some noise. We also could lose in the first round.

Why don’t you throw your next mortgage payment in that line. Let’s see if it pays off.

This is about right. A team like ours could get hot and make a deep run in the tourney, or have an off night and get bounced in the second round (first round exit is pretty unlikely if nothing changes as we would be facing a very low seed).

Auburn is a good team, but they have no shot to win the tournament. Their lack of bigs will severely hurt them against the best teams they would have to play in the tournament. Auburn is good and I can easily see a run to the sweet 16 or final 8, but the good teams they would face in the final 8 would expose their lack of a true big man.

where did you get your odds from ? Apparently people that are willing to bet their money have no respect for Auburn.

I hate Auburn more than almost anything, but I would love to see y’all win the NC in basketball. I don’t know why. I may be going soft.

I agree that Florida has the best odds to advance farthest in the NCAAs. I suspect that the SEC may come down to the game in Gainesville. Unfortunately, I don’t see Kentucky winning that. We blew it in Rupp

Well, considering your inability to use the word "past" correctly, I don't think I'll trust you with my money. Sorry to eliminate your bid from contention, but I appreciate the offer.
