Who has he beat chance of reaching the final four. *Homer here, but if AU played like they did against Kansas I think they at the minimum can hang with UNC.

What says tRant?

All 4 can play with anyone.

LSU beat all of them, so they have the edge


Seriously though, Tennessee seems to have the easiest route, but at this point, that is most ridiculous to say.

LSU has a daunting task ahead of them. They need to play near perfect to advance to the Final Four and we haven’t seen them come close so far so I’m not getting my hopes up.

As long as the threes fall AU will continue to win.

If Tennessee can play a full 40 minutes, they can get there. If they play one-half basketball this Thursday then Purdue will smoke them.

Personally, I think Tennessee will lose to Purdue. Auburn may fall to UNC. I think LSU and Kentucky advance to the E8.

They can whip UNC even if they don't.

Without a head coach I don't see LSU getting through Mich St and Duke

Auburn is hot right now, if they can carry a shooting performance like that they could make a run

UK will need a healthy Washington

Tenn veteran presence is what they need to ride

Agreed. AU is playing with a lot of confidence and is on fire right now. Playing as well as anyone. Should be a fun game to watch

Tennessee got exactly what they needed in Purdue.

I think of their bracket they certainly have the least talent among all the teams of the remaining regions.

The best player in the bracket hasn't even played since December and is out for the year.

Purdue is a well coached team as well but I think talent prevails, as it always does. UT should be more talented.

That said it is Rick Barnes.

I think it's Tennessee. Rooting for all four teams though! It'd be sweet to see the SEC well represented in the Final Four.

Is there any chance PJ comes back?

I don't know much about injuries, but he's in a hard cast, that doesn't seem good.

Yeah UT needs to have that "we belong underdog" chip on their shoulder. Which seems normal knowing how they came up the last few yrs. Take that away, and they cant seem to get up for the games they are favored in if it's an "easy win". Purdue will learn from Iowa, Auburn, and even back to first KY game to know what gets under UTs skin.

UT needs uva to beat oregon (which I think may be a darkhorse just chillin on their way in), because UT needs that #1 next to uva to get up for the game.

Barnes needs to really focus on fixing the psychology of his team this week over anything.

Auburn keeps it up I dont know how they get planned for.

KYs bench is going to get them with the way refs are calling fouls. I'd focus on fouling them out if I played them. I'd put in scrubs in sparingly during the first half to rack up their fouls going into the 2nd half.

Who knows where lsu current coaching can take them.

I give the edge to Auburn. Always a bit nervous saying that about a team that lives/dies by the 3. They need to stay hot for 2 games.

Kentucky, LSU, Tenn... all about the same. LSU has stretches that concern me but they are damn good when firing.

Its gonna be really tough for us not having our head coach.

Eventually Benford is gonna schooled, hopefully our talent can take us to the promised land.

Not shitting on Benford, its just hes gonna start playing chess with some really good HCs.

For the rest if they play their best basketball they can all move on.

Worrisome with Blue not having Washington but they still have a ton of talent on that team.

Im fascinated by Auburn/UNC, that is gonna be outstanding.
