auburn have any chance at ncaa tournament?

[papicker]

just looking at this game now. loooks like to me if they get this one and the game against lsu in the finale they would be 10-6 in the sec and on fire to end the year. maybe this and a win or 2 in the conference tourney would be enough, no one seems to be talking about them is why im asking. rpi is kinda bad i see but you would have to think it would go up some if they got these wins.

AU may get an 8-9 game or 7-10 game, but even they go dancing, they'll never see the second weekend.

ya them along with the sec is probably an instafade first round but it appears they do have a chance and no one has said a peep about them they just keeping talking about a michigan team that squanders chance after chance.

hopefully, Alabama will end that small hope tonight

I don`t see to many people on Auburn

I actually like them....They already smacked Bama around in january 85-71....i see no reason why they can`t do it again

Auburn won 7 straight ATS

I personally dont believe in revenge

Auburn is the better team

i kinda agree greenbacks not that i dont believe in revenge but i do think it is overused as an angle.

AU is certainly in the mix IF they win tonight. IMO tonight's the big decider b/c I think they handle LSU easily on Saturday. They have a shitty non-conference schedule and they lost most of those games, UVA is the most notable which isn't saying jack. Thus, to get in the big dance, they'll have to rely on winning these last two games and post that '10-6' conference recorded you referred to. They may also need to win one game in the SEC tourney; however, win tonight and they clinch the #2 seed in the West and a first-round bye. Lose tonight, and they can still clinch the #2 seed against LSU on Saturday, but they'll have to win that game and then go to the title game in the SEC or win the whole thing outright to have a shot to going to the big tourney.

In sum, tonight's the most pivatal game the Tigers have played in many years, prolly since the Chris Porter days.

Crowds have been dead in Tuscalossa this year but Nick Saban is going to be at miscourt at halftime so this game is a sell out and senior day.Might be a tougher one than Auburn expects.
Auburn RPI very bad but if they win last 2 then they are 10-6 with wins over Tenn and LSU.Win a game in sec tourney and they may get in.
