Kalkbrenner or Ashworth is going to have to be dominant the last 11 minutes, and Creighton will need Auburn to miss some shots they usually make.

When McAndrew isn’t hitting threes he offers nada out there - lots of standing.
 
Pettiford carries every time he touches the ball. It’s pretty absurd.

I'm torn. I want Cherington to win, but we have a better chance beating Auburn.

Creighton is the only other team (UConn 1st) I immediately look for bracket placement, especially the last 2 Tournaments. Just saying they are the only team in the Nation, I fear.

I don’t know why you’d say we have a better chance of beating Auburn than Creighton. Auburn is a better team.
 
Auburn played really well for Auburn tonight too. Auburn's A game is a lot better than Creighton's A game.
 
It's getting away from Creighton. Down 10 with 7 & change left.

He is not the most skilled player, but I love watching Dylan Caldwell. He is the emotional heartbeat for this Auburn. It's even more fun seeing him in person when I was in Maui. You see all his funny reactions up close.
 
I will complain about the seeding again. Creighton had a great season and most of their early losses were with Kalkbrenner playing hurt. They should have been a 6 or 7 over some of the "good losses" teams. They should not have faced a team this good in the second round.

The big east was wrecked by the BE front office and it's idea of how basketball is played in the year 2025.

I hope the Big East haters all find a P2 team to root for next year so I don't have to read their word vomit.

Are you looking ahead to a potential final four matchup? I'm just wondering why it matters if we'd be better off facing Creighton or Auburn.
 
I'm not opposed to admitting when I am wrong and I will admit that I both underrated Auburn's abilities and overrated the amount of difficulty Kalkbrenner would give Auburn

Very dry tourny so far, missing monumental upsets and buzzer beaters.

The only buzzer beater was the first game of the First Four. Can't remember a 1st weekend that had so little drama.

Yes. And even managers like Amir from McNeese are getting NIL. He also has a three person security team. He is expected to follow Wade to NC State as well. What a wacky world.

The SEC is still overrated. But St. Johns was also way overrated. Both can be true. St. John’s benefited so greatly from the BE refs that it was never going to work for them in the tourney. Hope that wakes up the BE - we know they are trying to hurt UConn but the way to do that is not to have biased reffing all season. That just sets the other teams up for failure in the tourney.

Right, we “know” the Big East is trying to hurt the most prominent program in the conference.
Do we also “know” that the moon landing was faked?
