Im not toting water for UT I just dont think we have any room to talk about them in basketball considering we havent beaten them or came close in a long time. I dont think theyre thugs I think they are just tougher than us. No offense

We could do the same and the biggest difference between us and Auburn is we have a very good inside game. Had we played as crisp as we did against A&M on Thursday against Tennessee we’d of beaten them. We played okay against Tennessee but we didn’t have the same effort defensively that Auburn had nor the fight on the inside they have. There’s no excuse with our length we had on defense that Tennessee should have had as easy a time as they had getting it inside nor should they have had as easy a time getting offensive boards. We should have been able to turn them over quite a bit and exposed them like Auburn has.

Auburn is good but they'll get put out by someone like Mich State, Florida State, Duke. Last year they got absolutely smoked by Clemson to be eliminated.

Auburn just exposed how to beat Tennessee. Stay in their face and never let up. Press, press, and press some more.

They can shoot 3s better though.

Me, nor you should be trusted on a tenn evaluation. I hate them... absolutely detest them, and it clouds my judgement. You are the complete opposite... you and dickie V get in fist fights to be first in line to kiss Williams and schofield's butts. No offense

Auburn has beaten Tennessee twice but other then that no one else.

Auburn has to make 13 3s at home to beat us by 5. We made 10 that game. If we had a couple more go in we win that game. We dominated them on the inside and out rebounded them by 20 at their place. Had we won that game, we would have had the easy route to the SEC final and skipped the UT/UK side. It’s amazing what a difference a couple of shots here and there made.

Auburn probably shot twice as many 3's as us though

They made 100 more than us. I'd rather make 100 more 3s instead of lead the % by .2%

Maybe we should go all auburn in the tourney. Spread teams out and look to let it fly from downtown. Auburn won't even take layups in transition... they looking for a 3

I?m not dogging on our team but we did under perform this season from where our talent profile was. Of course Howland has a chance to rectify it by winning two in the big dance and if we get the right matchups he should do it.

Auburn win helps us. We beat them. Go cincinatti now

Because for most of the year they had no inside presence. I’d rather have a balanced offense then live and die by the three.

I think we are a five and that will set us up nicely for a Sweet 16 run.

I'd rather win the SEC tournament championship tbh. Idc how balanced it is.

We got two days off to rest. With our 7 man rotation we needed it. I’d rather make the Sweet 16 then win the SEC tournament.

We finished 6th in the SEC and are about to be a 6 seed in the NCAA tourney. That isn't underperforming. Pearl has a one year head start on Howland and Auburn's program wasn't as much as a dumpster fire as ours when Pearl took over. Plus they just got a new arena that their fans actually go to. Auburn won the SEC last year too. Your "expectations" of us this year are bent.

Houston/Cinci game isn't gonna have any influence on us this late right before the brackets come out

I don't think that is sustainable over the entire tourney and why I think aub gets bounced first weekend unless Wiley gets going inside. They are the most 3 point dependent team in the league.

It's certainly dangerous to depend on 3s that much, but they've now won 8 straight with 2 of those over tenn and 4 of the 8 vs tourney teams (us, Florida, tenn x2)

I dont watch any UT basketball other than when we played them and they absolutely kicked our ass and out toughed us. That is fact whether you like it or not

I never said it wasn't. I've watched 15-20 Tennessee games this year, along with countless other teams around the country. I formed my opinion of tenn over a much bigger sample than your 2 games

The P12 is hot garbage.

If cinci holds on, could auburn take Houston's 3-seed?

Nah, I think Houston is locked in regardless. In fact, I’d imagine the seedlings are done.

Agree. I think we'll be playing Houston in the 2nd round
