Nope, that's why they are #1. But, great basketballs teams lose games, occasionally. In fact, iIrc the last undefeated National Champions were Indiana, in 1976. So, every Champion team in almost 50 years has lost to an inferior team. Basketball is not football, everybody loses, at least once, even the great Auburn Tigers have 2 losses to inferior teams.

Even ‘82 UNC lost 2 games (unranked Wake once) and ‘92 Duke lost 2 games (unranked Wake once)

I started out just lightly ribbing you but the responses you've had after are just unfathomable to me.

I just simply cannot understand why you hate Rick Barnes and have a perspective on this team that defies logic. Yes, they can lose early in the tournament. Any team can. They also have fhe potential to go further than ever. But you seem dead set banking on the former instead of being excited for the potential.

I'll let it go now and won't bring it up again. I know you're a good dude and we will just always disagree on basketball and Rick Barnes and that's fine.

Lol, I love Rick barnes. I love every member of this team. I just have a lower expectation than you do.

I don’t think any team is elite, but there are at least 6 teams that can play elite.

Auburn just has been playing elite at a more consistent level than everyone else.

But Bama, Vols, Gators, Duke, Houston, Michigan State & St. John’s (maybe, not watched them much) can all have elite games.

You didn’t say losing to Vandy and UK was worse. You said Auburn was the only tier 1 team and that you don’t view Bama and UF in that tier anymore. Then proceeded to say elite teams like Auburn don’t lose to inferior teams. A tier 1 team losing to a tier 2 team is by definition losing to an inferior team.

it would be more respectful if you just doubled down on your garbage opinions than try to twist what you said

You can't be this dense. I refuse to believe you are this dense. Auburn is in a league by itself. TN Al, and FL are tier 2. Candy and KY are a tier below that.

And, I think your opinions are pathetic.

Shoot I think Kentucky could be added to that list. They've beat Duke, Vols, Florida, and A&M. They're just probably the most inconsistent on that list, which I think is discipline/motivation related.
