wow, I wouldn't even go that far. First off, to get to the Final Four we would likely have to go through Bama who has been our total kryptonite.

ESPN betting expert was asked if any 1st round game lines jumped out to him. He said ?Michigan State is only favored because of their name brand recognition, I love the Bulldogs getting 2.5 points?

No way it happens but man, what a legend he would be if he picked that correctly.

I haven't watched UConn play but historically speaking they are usually a team that is very physically powerful, can play great D, and can shoot.

But yea, if Auburn plays like this past weekend, I think they have what it takes to cut down the nets.

I don't see us getting to Final 4. I'll be thrilled getting to Sweet 16. I hate playing Izzo right out of the gate. He's an awesome Big Dance coach.

My goal for this team is to win 1 game. If we do that I will be ecstatic. Anything else is gravy

Auburn is built for March. Can win in a defensive physical battle or can win in a shootout. I have them in Championship game.

There is no chance in hell. We are scrappy enough to win a game, maybe 2 if the cards fall right.

You have to have elite guard play in March. Guys that can fill it up and hit big shots over and over again. Hubbard is great, but he's inexperienced and can't do it alone.

There's not a team in our region we cant beat. There's no Auburn/UConn in the region. Comes down to defending, making some shots, and making enough FT's

Me too. Then we beat Auburn in the Final Four, after we beat Baylor and Auburn beats Iowa State. Haven't done the other side yet. :p

UCONN has too much size for Auburn. Also, Danny Hurley may strangle that POS player they have at mid court if he tries the same crap he did against us.
