Auburn's Men's team is much better than it has been in the last 10 years.  OK - that is not saying much but they may finish above 500 in the SEC.  OK - that is not saying much either.  But they seem WAY BETTER!

UNC is undefeated.
Dook has already lost.

So far the season is going well.

K-State v. NC State women's b-ball on Thursday night.

Auburn's Men are 4-0.  But the point guard had trouble making free throws.

Auburn's men played #17 Purdue in the finals of the Cancun Classic.  They were within 2 at halftime.

Then Auburn got blown out in the 2nd half.  Purdue has a good, 7'2 center and ended up shooting 65% from 3 point range.  The combination of a good inside threat plus great outside shooting will nail almost everyone's hide to the wall.

Still, Auburn is looking the best they have in more than a decade.  I'm looking forward to the rest of the season.  UNC is also playing very well, but I don't see them live or around campus.

K-State's women's team is having a heck of tournament showing this weekend.

Great game against Maryland last night, but the Cats couldn't close it out in the end.

Well, well...K-State took down Auburn tonight.

AUs Women lack offensive firepower if they don't force turnovers.

Auburn's Men beat UAB on the road.  They are much better than the last six years at minimum.

Hey we take wins however we can get them out here on the plains!  On a side note, I think K-State is getting ready for another beat down from UConn in a few days  Last year was ugly, but at least we are at home this year.  So maybe, just maybe, it'll be a closer game.

Auburn is 10-2 going into Conference play tonight vs. Georgia.  They are clearly better than last year (only 11 wins last year), but it is unknown how good they are.  They had a 6'11" 5-star center join the team just after the end of final exams (he is an incoming Freshman who finished high school early and joined the team).

I'm surprised K-State hasn't received any votes.  They've payed very well so far this season.
