UConn won a National Championship playing the same way a few years ago.

And yes, people talk about teams getting hot at the right time. I think you’d have to be pretty basketball ignorant to not recognize that y’all didn’t fire on all cylinders until late in the season.

You're not offended when we say your team is hot right now, are you?

Not at all! That being said, I do feel like it kind of discounts the talent present. Beating one blue blood, fine. We're hot. Two? Hotter. Three? You're a great team. Congratulations. I'm not bitching about where we are at or how we got here.. just want to give a bit more credit to our guys out there. That's all.

Y'all beat 3 bluebloods on the way. Noone is saying you don't deserve it.

In fact, most of us are saying y'all are legit as frick. Your last loss came to us.

The real season starts late March. Y'all hot, yes I'll say it again, y'all hot.

It can end next game, enjoy this shite.

Almost every year there's a Cinderella. Sometimes they finish the drill, sometimes they don't. Butler comes to mind.

Butler wasn't a Cinderella. They made the championship game in back to back years. They were a very under seeded mid major. AU has been playing national championship caliber basketball for over a month now it's just no one was looking. I mean this team was like preseason #7 so it shouldn't be completely shocking.

No.

You should probably take this up with your own broadcast team, who made a point today of saying after the game that Auburn couldn't match the talent of other teams in the tournament, and they win because they all love each other and are a family.

That was Rod Bramblett and Sonny Smith, btw.

Not the first time. But fair enough. I suppose we don't have enough wins (or NCAA Tournaments) under our belts to ask for the same respect as other teams in the tournament. It was just a thought.


Wait, so you think Auburn's not getting enough respect?
