I really don't remember us flopping selling fouls, under Pearl, remotely as hard as Auburn seems to from time to time.

When I was filling out my bracket this year, I had a hard time picking upsets. I probably picked a few more than I honestly should have just because of the nature of the tournament, but I couldn’t help but feel that the crop of top teams this year are particularly good compared to most years and that the lower seeded mid-majors were at a huge disadvantage in Round 1.

Guess we’ll see how things shake out, but I think it’s going to be chalky at least today and tomorrow.

I agree. This years tournament really feels like it’s unusually elite at the top, and I feel like mist 1-3 seeds have at least a semblance of a chance of winning it all, the main exception being Kentucky. I also am skeptical Auburn gets past the S16, but we’ll see.

definitely think it’ll be a chalk year with less upsets than normal.

Auburn will probably wake up in time to win by 20 or so but seeing them struggle this much with Bama State is amusing.

even if they do end up winning, I’m definitely very confident that they lose to Creighton. They look dreadful so far.

That said, if they actually do lose to a 16 seed all the “Pearl > Barnes” people will go into hibernation for a while.

Auburn thought they could sleepwalk through game 1 against an in state team who you know was pumped for this game.

They have let teams hang around all year.
It's almost assuredly a recipe to get bounced right out of the Tournament if they continue with that MO.
Even so, I didn’t have them winning it all in Bracket.

True. I actually have Kentucky in the Sweet 16 in one bracket and the Elite 8 in another. I think they have a very favorable draw. Illinois is so hot or cold. We’ve seen them get blasted often. I just think Kentucky is so good offensively that except for the truly elite teams they can beat anyone.

I had to pick them to the Elite 8 in one of my brackets because I’m just ready to be hurt by them again.

While I think this TN can make it to final four and cut down the nets in April, I picked KY over TN. Idk where they stand with injuries but they are a bad matchup for us. And I don’t see them having a poor shooting night against us.

UCLA- Utah st winner could give us fits though we should win.
