Feast week - Maui & Vegas game thread

Not doing money to charity. And before you call me a POS I donated a significant amount of money to the family who lost their child from my hometown this year when he passed away during a HS football game (Selma, AL). Will do avatar bet before St Jude’s. No offense to those kids, definitely in my prayers.

You could’ve saved a lot of keystrokes by just saying you’re not confident in your team.

For all we know neither of these bum teams makes the final four for 5 years. Jk not bum teams but final fours require a good bit of luck as well.
 
Auburn does look to have the tools you need to win it all though. I don't really see much weakness with that squad. Pg experience I guess, but it doesn't show bc the whole team passes so well and they can all attack the basket.

Then again they had a lot of those tools last year.

In the last AP poll, KU rec'd 51 #1 votes. Auburn 3. Quite a gap to make up in one week.

Then again, all KU managed to do was beat a favored Duke team without their top scorer/rebounder for the last 10 minutes...
Eh, but how good is Duke really at this point? They loss to Kentucky, lost to you guys, and I do think Auburn win vs them next week as well.

You might be right. The gap very well could be too large. Though, it should be reasonably close.

FWIW, Hunter Dickinson was -2 in the box plus/minus. He wasn't exactly killing it. Bidunga was +5.

Bidunga will make a few plays, but he's still very raw. They can't even trust him to catch an entry pass w/out fumbling it.

I don't know. People were hyping them as the most talented team in the country before this game, and they were favored.

The better question is what did Auburn do to deserve to collect 49 more first place votes? They beat an Iowa St team that hasn't beaten anyone yet, and a UNC team that KU also beat.

We both know most talented does not equal best team 😎
