First of all, I don't ever look this stuff up when I'm talking sports so my stats are often wholly inaccurate,
Nice disclaimer.
I agree with your reasons why Auburn will likely lose.
I think Sparty Party will be taking the trophy home.
Only team that's been there, done that left.
Auburn had a great ride. If they can finish it off, it would be glorious. Is there a son of a preacher man in the starting five?

I keep hearing it said that all the "blue bloods" are out of the way in this tournament
I understand MSU doesn't have the titles.
But they yearly play in that Champions Classic.
Are they not a Blue Blood?
This is their 10th Final Four.
That's only behind Duke, UNC, Kentucky and UCLA.

Well if he did, it wasn't smart. He would have been trying to relieve pressure, but he actually supplied them with a subconscious excuse for failure. Most coaches teach their players to break down the various aspects of whatever game they're playing and just concentrate on them. This diminishes the pressure of the overall game (especially the score).
I'll bet Pearl didn't make the comment to address the outcome of the game.
He actually made those exact comments after the first game of the Tourney. It didn't seem to hurt our guys in any way.

Must not be confident enough for a 1 year...

I am so confident in this prediction that if I am wrong I will self impose a posting ban for 36 hours of Auburn wins the game.
A whole 36 hours?

Let's see what Vegas has to say...

Virginia is the only 1-seed to survive the first two weekends of play and the Cavaliers are going off as 3-2 favorites to win it all in the latest 2019 Final Four odds. The 2-seed Michigan State Spartans aren't far behind at 7-4, with 3-seed Texas Techfetching 4-1. Despite rolling through college basketball royalty with wins over Kansas, North Carolina and Kentucky, the 5-seed Auburn Tigers are the biggest long shots at 7-1.

Now post what they were saying about Duke, UNC, Gonzaga, and UK a week ago.

The only problem is with the term "blue blood". Michigan State is known as a "blue collar", lil brother team to Michigan, so the term "blue blood" doesn't really fit even though their play often warrants it.
Who around the SEC does this scenario remind you of?....just asking.

Do you spend a lot of time interacting with UVA fans?

I actually have no fricking clue what you're talking about.
Blue collar? I just assume the whole state of Michigan is Blue Collar.
Blue Bloods aren't allowed to be blue collar?
Or they're white collar?
Jesus I had no clue the type of collar determined this.
This is basketball here. who gives a frick how they are in football.

Don't know wtf this means either.
Just wanted to know if MSU was a "blue blood" CBB team.

I don't think they would be considered a blue blood. Izzo is known as one of the very best in the game though.

I Like Watching Auburn, but Gotta go With Virginia
Nope.
I live an hour away from Charlottesville, and worked there for about a year.
Off the campus, no one seems to even CARE about the university's athletics. You cannot tell me that the cities of Auburn, Tuscaloosa, Athens, whatever - aren't all buzzing when those teams are playing in Final Fours, etc.
Last year, when they were ranked #1? No one cared. Heck, that might be why they became the first 1 seed to lose in the first round - because they knew if you walked 10 steps off campus, no one gave a crap.
I'm cheering for Auburn. I'm a Bama fan, I know, but they're LEGITIMATELY EXCITED TO BE THERE. That means way more to me than a cross state rivalry.

Well what about Duke then?
They won their first title in the 90s.
