You’ll never be the same after this. It’s a historical moment for your program, and there’s no looking back now!

I mean, just look at what it did for Mississippi State!

Eh, let the barn fans have their fun. They should be excited because they are playing very well.

Bruce already took Auburn to the Final Four once and won’t be leaving for the Florida job ala Dan Mullen.

This isn’t a one trick pony. 2018 was the beginning of a sustained run of excellence.

Fun fact:

TheFourHorsemen created 541 threads in 6 months, not including scoreboard threads that were removed.

The melt from other fanbases is better than ice cream.

I agree that being #1 at some random point in the regular season doesn't produce much value unless its followed up with a Big NCAA Tournament performance.

However, this Auburn basketball renaissance appears to be on a more solid foundation compared to some of the flukier successes other SEC programs have had in other sports (i.e. the Mississippi State football team reaching #1 in 2014)

If Pearl hadn't already taken the Auburn program to such success, I'd say this was fleeting. But Pearl seams to have built something that could last.

2018- SEC regular season champs
2019- SEC tournament champs; Final 4
2020- was headed towards being a 5-seed in the NCAA tournament prior to its cancellation
2021- -
2022- looks to be headed towards an SEC title and possibly more

Auburn has been a Top 20 team in 4 of the past 5 seasons. I'm not saying they are about to be the new Kentucky, obviously. But sustained success appears to be in Auburn's future as long as their program stays out of NCAA trouble.

Just did the math. Since the 2018 season, here are the SEC records for each program:

.679- Kentucky (57-27)
.651- Tennessee (56-30)
.643- Auburn (54-30)
.627- LSU (52-31)
.575- Alabama (50-37)
.561- Florida (46-36)
.541- Arkansas (46-39)
.536- Miss St. (45-39)
.438- S. Carolina (35-45)
.432- Texas A&M (32-42)
.420- Missouri (34-47)
.398- Ole Miss (33-50)
.286- Georgia (24-60)
.185- Vanderbilt (15-66)

Auburn looks like they are on pace to finish out the year ranked at #2 in SEC winning percentage over a 5-year stretch, behind only Kentucky.

That seems impressive and not at all fluky.

This is the equivalent of saying Mississippi State was a playoff team 2 years before and then get a #1 ranking during the regular season 2 years later.

Kyle has always been one of the good ones. So good in fact that he's always accused of being an alter


So is Peter...
