Not Broome. Not Flagg. Walter Clayton is the best...

Florida couldn’t beat Missouri at home.

Mizzou>Florida?

I think it’s fair to say that Auburn was the worst team in the Final Four. They lose to Duke or Houston for sure. Had a pretty easy path to get to the final four too. When your sweet 16 and elite 8 matchups are against B1G teams, you’ve definitely benefited from an easy path.

Auburn beat Houston this season in Houston. Houston also played a big ten school in sweet 16 and had to hit a last second shot against them

Houston improved more than you did over the season. You’re still a good team. Just not as good as you thought

nah. They just avoided the best team until the title game. This isnt going to be close tomorrow night

And KU beat Duke. It’s called peaking early. Same reason Bruce is going to be in his La Z Boy eating pork rinds while Sampson plays for the national championship.

Imagine thinking Florida is better than Duke. SEC homerism at its finest. 😆

But they did easily beat them at a neutral site.

they are. Guard plays wins. i saw Auburn play against both. florida is far more impressive.

Duke is good, but so is Florida. Duke’s advances numbers were slightly better than UF’s, but Florida played a more difficult schedule.

Regardless, Duke lost and we can’t see this settled on the court. I think playing in the ACC really did them a disservice. Florida played in more high profile games than the Blue Devils, and they were prepared for the clutch moments in a way that Duke was not.

I think it hurt duke for sure. Auburn played the hardest schedule by far of any of the top 10 teams and you could tell how beat down we got. Florida is just to deep. SEC schedule combined with a stacked OOC schedule.

Conference strength doesn't determine a champion no matter how strong it is.

Villanova clipped UNC in 2016, ACC had 2 teams in the FF

KU beat UNC in 2022, ACC had 2 teams in the FF

UConn won the title in back to back years, the Big 12 and the SEC were at the top
in 2023 and 2024.

Auburn and duke lost because the pressure was to great, from coaching all the way down to the players.

Auburn just didnt have the talent at guard to beat Florida. florida would win 7 times out of 10 against Auburn. They are a better team.

I think your guard play was good enough to win a title.

FF games are hard, just getting there is a major accomplishment.

I think it was tood enought to beat every team not named Florida. I picked florida to win it all in my bracket. I saw Auburn play basically every elite team this season and no one else make things near as difficult as Florida did twice against us this year

In seriousness, do you not understand that Duke improved by leaps and bounds since then? Meanwhile, Auburn peaked early.

Duke looked improved due to playing a shit achedule for 3 months more than anything. let them come play the grind that Florida and Auburn played.

They clearly improved a ton, as most young teams do.

They were not near as good as the media was hyping them up to be the last month. Lacked guards. Scheyer deserves some heat for running it back with Proctor this year. I guarantee all 5 of Duke's titlw teams had better guards than this team did

And if Florida doesn't win what will you say about Houston and the weak Big 12?

Conference strength just gives you a favorable seed, doesn't guarantee you anything.

The big 12 was far better than the ACC this year

Guard play is essential in the tournament.

Just look at the past winners and damn near all of them had outstanding guards.

No argument here.
