Quick question, are the Virginia fans arrogant? Will this Cinderella Auburn team slam the door shut on their miracle run because their fans are acting like they've won the damn tournament?

You have less than a 25% chance. It's a fighter's chance if the fighter isn't any good.

I would say our defense has been the bigger story.


The defense has been the most outstanding thing about this run. Everyone will focus on the threes or the offense in general, but the defense has carried this team.

Va. is awfully good. They play the best D in the nation, I believe. These teams play two very different styles. The game will boil down to who gets the pace of play they want.

You shut up. Get ahold of yourself, bammer. This is Auburn we are talking about. Do not defend them.

Auburn has had the tougher route to the final four.

I think its quite possible VA would have been tossed had they been in AUs shoes.

This is the exact mentality that Pearl's got to guard against!......this and getting too hyped. Probably why teams who are regulars are favored by the pro gamblers....been there, got the t-shirt.

That has no bearing on this game. They are a 1 seed. They should have had an easier road up to this point.

Virginia hasnt been to the final four in forever.

I really think on paper VA is the favorite.

This game can go anyway. Auburn starts cold. Or Auburn starts hot and never lets off.

Auburn has def proven they are not a pushover.

If the 3's are falling they win easily.

They may be the most well coached team in the country.

Exactly. Auburn is in uncharted territory here by actually being good at something. All of this celebratory shite their fans are pulling on this board is exactly why their team will lose to Virginia.

Seen it a million times. Fans get cocky, team loses.

Pride cometh before the fall. We create reality with our thoughts. When you celebrate before a job is finished, your job is finished.

Yes, because the fans are the ones who will be out there making the plays.

Fans are different than players.

The players im sure are very humble and Bruce has already told them win or lose they have to accept that was the end plan by destiny.

You are a fricking retard if you think that anything said by fans on the SEC Rant has ANYTHING to do with how the basketball team plays...or any other team for that matter.

These guys are coached by Bruce Pearls. They don't know the meaning of humility.

I gotta agree with you about this. These kids are seeing all this hype everywhere they look, and reading what their fans are saying...AND expecting, hence the pressure.
