Auburn had the good fortune to really only play Creighton as a team with credible 3pt shooting in their region.

Michigan St has a couple guys between 30-35% and Richardson shoots 42%.

That's the reward for the regular season



No judgement made. I'm not one of those losers who acts like winning a region ain't legit unless you beat 4 1 seeds. Just pointing out that Auburn didn't really have any teams that were matchup problems...that's something you can't necessarily control by being 1 overall. Alabama had a 1 overall bracket with several matchup problem teams in it. Just how the breaks go, you can't really control that the worst 2 is also not a mismatch problem for you.

This is far from over, I might relax with a double digit lead and less than a minute left.

eah, this is the team that earned the overall #1 seed. Not whatever team has been out there the past month or so.

Johnny Broome pulling his head out of his arse and playing well for starters.

In spite of the statline against Creighton he played fine in that one. Kalkbrenner was a problem but if you watched carefully our bigs were setting screens and seals underneath all game that freed up the everyone else. Played fine against Michigan two, especially with two 7 footers opposing him.

Have to play more than fine when you are SEC player of the year in these type of games and he is.

We took what they gave us. Kalkbrenner wasn’t 3 time Big East DPOY by accident. Withstood them going insane from 3 as well.

Gonna see a lot of Tahaad and Denver to close the half due to his 2 fouls.

Auburn should have Pettiford playing point and Jones as the SG.

Better to have them chasing than doing this when we’re even.

That's the formula for most AU games this year: get up big; let lead shrink or lose it, then pull away late.

I'd take that today.

Neither are natural 1s. They’re both off guards. Denver is the steadier hand.
