So the basis for your entire, conveniently-framed argument hinges solely on the outcome of an overtime Elite 8 game? It can't be anything else, since in the last five years Auburn has a total of:
- Two (2) NCAA Tournament appearances;
- Five (5) NCAA Tournament wins;
- One (1) SEC regular season title (at 13-5); and
- One (1) SEC Tournament title.
It's weird to give so much credence to one (1) Final Four run that hinged on a one (1) point victory over twelve (12) seed New Mexico State in the first (1st) round where your win probability was less than sixty-five percent (65%) in the final minute, not to mention surviving an OT game to reach the Final Four.
But that's your... choice, I guess.
Wait, by your logic Villanova > Duke. Come to think of it, so are Texas Tech and Chicago State.
Whew, what a ride! Getting me all sweaty trying to keep up with your "logic," but, like my boy Pearl, I'm an nope to that:
