They have peaked at the right time. Sweeping the SEC tourney. They had a scare early in the NCAAs but survived.
They are hot and they are not cooling off.

i only watched the first part of the game. I had a paintball war i had to attend. Can you give me a game summary with some key turning points in the game and provide a colorful narrative?

Thanks!

Maybe, but they sometimes struggle with physical teams like Virginia.

The other three teams in the tournament recruit on the same level as AU , i like AU’s depth even without Okeke, feeling pretty good right now.

Edit* in my euphoria forgot about MSU, still i like our chances

And the other 3 teams peaked as well. What's your point?

I've said it a few times now that I really like watching this Auburn team play and I'm happy for their fans that they've made the big stage. That said, if I were gambling I would still bet against Auburn. No offense to Aubbies, but with each game that passes the odds increase that they will experience a poor team shooting performance and they don't have anything else to fall back on.

The games get progressively harder. Great win today, but John Calipari is over rated. And I truly mean that.

Auburn just experienced a "poor team shooting performance" and they still dancing. 40% from the field and 30% from 3...both well below season averages.

They should consider themselves fortunate. They're about to play a team that is going to try to abuse them inside. Auburn is going to have to hope they force a LOT of turnovers. Or just hit everything from the outside again. But that is going to get harder to do as a team now that it's down to the final four. Pressure mounts.

I'm not saying they can't do it, mind you. I'm just saying where I would lay my money personally. I don't think it's foolish at all to bet against Auburn. I think it's smart.

Exactly. I'm happy for y'all. This will be good for your program moving forward provided there's no lingering legal troubles, but now is not the time for those discussions. Hope y'all enjoy it!

Auburn may lose to Virginia, but it won't be because of the reasons you suggest. The entire season everyone tried to "abuse us inside" but 30 times we figured it out.

Saying Auburn "is going to have to hope they force a LOT of turnovers" is also ignorant...Auburn is 3rd in the country in Turn Over Margin. We don't have to hope, we will force TO's.

I've already shown we can beat a team trying to "abuse us inside" by shooting poorly. Auburn 77 UK 71 Midwest Regional Final

Without Chuma...we are a wounded duck. Think about any team in the country where you removed their best defender, best inside O presence and best all around player...unfortunately for Auburn that was a single guy. However, as we showed today this team is extremely well balanced and can beat anyone if we play well. Virginia will be tough, but if we lose it won't be because they were too good for us to beat. Instead, it will simply mean on Saturday they played better than us.

This guy doesn't care. Because if he loses all his money he will just steal someone's land and sell their shite to get more.

Yeah. We'll do that. The three thing. A little off tonight. Would have been over much earlier. And Virginia isn't even bluebloodish.
