Deepest team doesn’t mean anything, these are young guys that are used to playing 2 games a day in AAU and as long as you can go 8 or 9 deep, you're fine.
Look though, you look silly playing these what-if games and making excuses.
If it was a series in 2019, Auburn most likely doesn’t get to the E8, let alone the Final 4. Ya'll weren't beating KU in a best of 3, 5 or 7, weren't beating UNC, or UK in a series either. Just take your FF run and be thankful the ball bounced your way the times it did.
Auburn has a damn good team this year, but matchups matter and there are a lot of really good teams this year.
Just enjoy the fact that your favorite team is on the short list of teams that can get to a FF. But that's if there aren't any injuries or Arkansas gay shit.
Damn, you fight everybody to the death when your team wins, but disappear when Auburn loses. Chill
