Michigan was a tough matchup. Still should have won, but tough nonetheless. Who would you have preferred? They would not put us against Oregon as we already played them. What about other two?

The three other 4 seeds got in.

All hypothetical, but i think any other 5 seed we beat.

I think Michigan was a good matchup. We just didn't finish the job.

Clemson is a weird team. They share the ball well, shoot it well, and defend well and create a lot of turnovers without fouling. But they had issues all season with athletic teams. Could go either way on that one.

Memphis was definitely the worst of this group though. I'd have much preferred them.

I think Michigan will beat Auburn. I think the pair of bigs will give them trouble, they just need some guys to hit a few shots on the outside.

Now bet the house on Auburn by 21

I would've rather be in Ole Miss spot getting to play a UNC team that shouldn't have been playing on short rest followed by an Iowa state team missing it's best player

Or Tech who got to play two double digit seeds

Instead we got the Ivy League champs (notorious for being a tough out), followed by the big 10 champs, followed by the #1 overall seed lol. Great reward for the #13 overall seed

Not the ideal draw, but we let Michigan by 10 halfway through the second half. Should have won that game

Then we'd get an Auburn team that we already beat with a coach who buzz is 6/2 against

It wasn't an ideal draw but it wasn't a bad draw

We just choked on the big stage in typical Aggie fashion

I think it was a terrible draw but yeah still should be playing regardless
