Those are all 21 teams to rate +32 points or higher in KenPom. Of the 19 prior to this season:
*17 were 1 seeds; two were 2-seeds
*11 won the National Title
*14 went to the title game or further
*16 went to the Final 4 or further
*18 went to the Elite 8 or further
*All 19 went to the Sweet 16 or further
*These teams combined to be 96-4 in the NCAA Tournament to teams NOT on this elite list
*Out of the 4 losses to teams not on this list, 2 were to the eventual national champ; three were against teams that made it to the Title Game, and all 4 were against teams that made it to the Final 4.
This Auburn team is currently playing at an insane level.
Say it again babe. SAY IT.
I am so damn grateful for our Lourde Bruce Almighty. Build the damn statue already. Name the court.
Seriously can't state enough how great this man has been for Auburn. What hes done is nothing short of amazing. Yeah, his guys can play erratic at times. Yeah we've lost a few head scratchers over the years that are bewildering. But as a total body of work - the recruiting, the tournaments, the program as a whole, the press we get, the marketing, Neville. etc etc. JUST INSANE.
