The Auburn win is looking REALLY good now

Auburn seems to clearly be the #1 team in the country from what I've seen. Kessler is a beast, Jabari Smith should be the #1 pick, and KD Johnson and that other guard Greene? are relentless. They are really similar to us but we don't have a shot maker like Jabari. We have a chance to be really good and go pretty far if we cut out the dumb stuff.

Our Body of work is Auburn and only Auburn. That's not simplifying much. It's already simple. Great win. But that's it. I'd feel much better if our body of work included one , just one, of Providence, WVU, MSU, Seton Hall. Give me one of them. Because those are all games that would look good on a resume. The more we throw games like that in the toilet (and that's exactly what we do) the harder this gets going forward. Do you want to count on beating Nova? Even Xavier? Because we pissed away our realistic opportunities at solidifying an actual body of work some of those games will turn into must wins when they needn't have.

Yup its simple. Auburn is our body of work and only Auburn. That and a dime will get you................................................

The win over Marquette is looking very good now as well.
 
All we need is Polley to have 6 consecutive games like his Auburn game and we’re a lock for number 5.
I wonder what the won / loss percentage is for teams when a guy off the bench scores 24 pts

14/23 in the SHU game

I love when people make easily falsifiable claims and are called out on it. No offense @mauconnfan, but you got caught, at least as far as 3-point shooting goes. The SHU game featured more 3-pointers per minute, shot at a higher percentage, compared to the Auburn game.

Now, you could still argue UConn's offense was better in the Auburn game, because they scored more points per minute. I'd even agree with that argument. However, you chose to use 3-point shooting as the crux of your argument, and the numbers don't back that up.

Seton Hall was arguably a better offensive game.

Slightly worse in Adjusted Offensive Rating and Points Per Possession, but very close

Sorry shoot me I missed that. My bad you got me call me out any time I can handle it. They were better in the Seton Hall game. Don’t know the points per minute or how they shot versus the Hall but watching the 2 games our offense clicked everywhere for me in the Auburn game. Could be wrong but eye test for me isn’t always great but it’s what the old eyes saw!

VCU has 5 losses already. Bonnie’s 3.

It’s tough to imagine those are significant wins in the end. I’m not looking for A10 wins to prop us up unless those teams do much better than they have. Best we can say is they don’t hurt at least. I guess that’s good

Sadly I don’t think either are going to win the A-10. Davidson looks unbeatable in that conference at the moment. 15 wins in a row.
 
For the “bUt AuBuRn wAs WiThOuT FaNIgAn “ crowd. Fanigan is a turnover machine and is averaging under 8 points per game. I don’t think it made that much of a difference.

They played a few games, so we saw something lol.

side note, I'm betting West Virginia doesn't make the NCAA's.
 
I rewatched the game last night. Martin comes back in after the wrist injury and immediately nails a 3 and the announcer says “that wrist appears to be just fine” lol

That West Virginia loss is looking pretty bad. Losers of 6 straight, dead last in the B-12

It's a road loss to a top 100 team, it's nowhere near bad.

And Sanogo was out for that game. We've already seen a bunch of times that the offense has suffered most of the time when he hasn't played. They scored 53 points that game but only gave up 56. If the Huskies played them today it would be a blowout.

Lmao it's a Q1 loss.

Most of the Big XII is going dancing. WVU could lose out and the metrics won't make them worse than a Q2.
