Auburn is good no doubt, but they aren’t invincible.

They have played and will play all their big games at home. Caught LSU early and without Murray and caught Kentucky injured again. They did go to Bama and win, but that’s not the same Bama team as last year. Still a really good win though. I wanna see them away from home and on neutral courts where they don’t get a 5-7 point advantage from the crowd. I will say though they are the best in SEC no doubt. I’m not a hater lol.

They are legit, but you are right, they feed off that crowd. They will win games on the road too for sure, but I think they are much more beatable out of that arena

They are top of the class and clicking on all cylinders right now. College basketball is so streaky tho who knows what will happen there’s still a whole month + of basketball left to play.

Peaking mid-January. Tough to keep that momentum up for another 8+ weeks

We should focus on putting the ball in the hoop before beating Auburn.

Or they’re just a really good team this year that might not lose more than 1 or 2 games

They may be beatable but they are by far the hardest matchup in the country for anybody.Kind of hard to matchup against Smith an Kessler.It grosses me out to see Smith playing for Auburn

Point me a week spot?

Have guards who can shoot, and play pick and roll perfectly, have a rim protector, Flanningan is a solid player and a potential superstar in Smith.

Sorry, don’t see anyone in the conference near their level.

Agreed of they don't make the final four it's a disgrace.

AU is clearly the best team in the SEC and odds-on favorite to win the SEC Championship as of today.

#1 can get a little out of control at times, and need to find a way to get Smith the ball more. But they are awfully tough and deep.

A team that can shoot from the perimeter can beat Auburn... Unfortunately, that's not LSU.

Auburn has won on the road at South Carolina, at Alabama, and at Ole Miss in the SEC. Pre-SEC, they won at St. Louis. Playing on the road in the SEC is always tough, but so far they’ve held their own.

LSU is certainly not a good perimeter shooting team. In fact, lately the team hasn't shot very well from anywhere.

Certainly I think Auburn will lose a game or two somewhere down the line. And it is possible they have peaked a bit too soon.

Only time will tell. It just depends on the draw they get in the NCAA tourney and perhaps the matchups won't be such a staggering advantage for them against some teams.

They’ll probably go 15-3 in conference and win the SEC.
