Always good to beat a “soft” school who only concentrates on basketball while we have a top 15 program in basketball, baseball, football, softball etc...

Sorry, I’ve been drinking and really didn’t expect this. To beat Kansas and be mentioned with others in basketball is rarefied air for us.

Ten in a row for us.

I’m gonna soak it in a bit......
 
Like most said earlier, the first game would be AU’s toughest.


NMSU had every advantage.

AU played 5 games in 8 days, played last Sunday, traveled 1300 miles the next day, had zero rest against a team that won 19 straight and had 5 days rest. Up by 13 with five minutes left and looked gassed. Would’ve taken a one point victory all damn day.

Both teams had terrible seeding.



Billy Self saw a rested AU team....
 
The only reason Auburn even advanced to the round of 32 is because NMSU has the worst last 2 seconds of any team in tournament history.

A player passed up an easy layup for a tie at regulation only to pass out and the auburn player made an absolutely idiotic foul on a 3 point shot. Then the kid missed 2 out of 3 free throws and somehow Auburn made another boneheaded play and knocked the ball out of bounds. Then Auburn failed to cover the inbound pass and the NMSU player shot an airball on a wide open three point shot.

Lets not get carried away here.

Lol, nevermind AU lead by 14 with 5 minutes left and played their 5th game in 8 days.

We are a top 15 program in basketball, baseball, softball, football etc and that’s not changing.

KU fans are as scarce here as UL fans these days. What gives?
Kinda like the Kentucky fans last November right? A few were here but not like now. This board has turned to shit, that’s why I’m not here much, has nothing to do with my team winning or losing...that’s a Kentucky fan thing, your self worth depends on the crop of one and dones your coach brings in. Lol
 
Auburn is a slightly better version/style of team as NC State. Pearl as he has always done tries to run when he plays Roy's teams and gets outrun. I am way more fearful of Washington than Auburn , because UW actually has the defensive versatility to guard this UNC team.

This is the most insane win. I really thought if we won it would be a final seconds win. Not over by halftime. That was just amazing. Not sure if I enjoyed that one or the Tenesssee win more.

This board turned to shit about the time UL's team turned to shit?

Come on you can go back to November and find a whole bunch of Kentucky fans here after the Duke loss.

I understand why you would be insecure around a few more Kentucky fans

Turgeon would probably be like 5th on the list. I don’t know who the first four would be, but if we’re down to Turgeon then we actually aren’t a blueblood. No offense.
It will never happen, but Wes Miller could be that dude. He’s had real success in a short time at UNC-G and knows the game from Roy. KU has had good success with UNC players.
 
We aren’t a top 15 program at the moment?




Y’all definitely were last year, no need for everyone to get so sensitive.
You might have been ranked in the top 15 at times this year but claiming a top 15 status as a program is a bit much. Tell me who on this list is Auburn a better overall program than right now.

Duke
KU
UK
Indiana
UNC
UCLA
Louisville
Michigan State
Michigan
Virginia
Wisconsin
Arizona
Villanova
Florida
Ohio State

I didn’t say all time, and we are definitely better than Florida, Arizona, Ohio State at the moment. We won the SEC last year and won the SEC tourney this year and came into the NCAA tourney ranked 14 and are now in the sweet 16. It’s fairly easy to argue we are a top 15 program right now.

Fair enough.
