00:00We start with the number one overall seed. That would be the

00:03Auburn Tigers, the outright regular season champs, and of

00:06the most difficult conference this year in college

00:08basketball, that would be the SEC. So Auburn is that number

00:13one overall seed, JY, despite dropping both of their final

00:17regular season games in the final week of the regular

00:19season, and then their second game in the semifinals on a

00:23Saturday at the SEC tournament against Tennessee. They have

00:26dropped three other last four, but the entire body of work,

00:30the stellar resume for Bruce Pearl and his Tigers, still

00:33good enough to get rewarded that number one overall seed

00:35for the NCAA tournament. Well, you said it best. It was the

00:38body of work. It was the entire season, not just the blimp of

00:43the last four games, losing three of the last four, and

00:46what you like about Bruce Pearl's team, back didn't go

00:48deep. Ten man rotation. You have the fact that his

00:51experience, I mean, do you know that Mazzara is older than

00:54Zion Williamson? 25 years old. So you got men, grown men. So

01:01to me, obviously, you know, looking at the quad one wins and

01:04the fact that how they were wire to wire. Yes, it makes

01:07sense. What you have to hope for if you're Bruce Pearl is we

01:11got the junk out of our system. We got the poor play out of our

01:14system. We got knocked out early in the SEC tournament.

01:17We're go home. They probably practiced today. They know

01:20what they're playing. Scouts are going on tonight, probably

01:23off tomorrow, and then they start to get themselves ready

01:26and hope that the bad stretch pen is behind them.
