Auburn?
« on: March 31, 2019, 04:40:01 PM »
How long will they have their first Final Four? I say 3 maybe 4 years; then changed to a zero win season. Calipari and Memphis lost theirs due to less than what Auburn has been up to.

The Pearl Necklace delivers.

I cannot comment on the how but the what is that Auburn is in the Final weekend.

Such an eventuality for Marquette would be...refreshing.

Alas, we couldn't get past a mid major of very slender accomplishment. But it wasn't that we simply lost to them. No, we were humiliated.

Damn the lack of vision. And goddamn the fools who perpetuate mediocrity.

Auburn did not "cheat" their way into the FF.  They beat Kansas, UNC and Kentucky to get there.

They are the first team in NCAA history to beat all three of these "blue bloods" in the same season ... and they did it over eight days and three consecutive games!

Congrats to the Tigers, you deserve it.

CBS Sports had it wrong.  You are correct (although AZ did not do it consecutively, Providence was in the middle).

Also note that AZ won it all that year.

Come on man. First it’s not like major sports coaches cheating is some kind of rare thing. And second comparing Bruce Pearl to Bill Belichick?

Regardless of whether or not they cheated, between the lines they had to beat three good teams and got the job done.  There was no “crapshoot” about it.  Pearl’s a slimeball, but he can coach.

Ummm okay? Not what I was talking about.  Memphis,  UMass and Louisville didn't cheat in a tournament game either, yet all their wins were wiped out. Read the news lately?

UWM going from Bo Ryan to Bruce Pearl is like

Favre to Rodgers or Montana to Young.

Just amazing.

Why, Goose?

I'm not being even a little snarky with the question, just legitimately curious why with Izzo/MSU, Bennett/Va and Beard/TTech also still alive, you are choosing Pearl/Auburn.

Do you know Pearl personally? Do you just like rooting for the biggest underdog? You like the way they play more than the other teams? You hate the other coaches or programs?

I always find it interesting to learn what motivates anybody who roots for any other team when his/her team is no longer in the tournament.

I think Beard and TTech is the most interesting story left in the tournament -- I mean ... Lubbock? -- so I'm kinda pulling for them. And I didn't like the way Pearl ratted out Illinois only to get caught cheating himself, so I've never been a fan. Otherwise, Bennett or Izzo would be fine, too. I've always admired the way they've prepared their teams.

My rooting interest in the final 4......Anybody but Auburn........

What an embarrassment it would be if they won it all with that cheating slime ball at the helm.
