AU +1600 to win it all

Best value bet to win the East​

Last year, Auburn lost to 1-seed Houston after blowing a 10-point lead with only five reliable players. This season, Bruce Pearl has focused on building more than a one- or two-star team - moving KD Johnson to the role of energetic sixth-man, for example.

That focus on depth sounds like UConn, which should win both games easily this weekend to set up a Sweet 16 showdown. Even though the Tigers are a 4-seed, they're the fourth-best team by KenPom. While the Huskies have been dominant in the Big East, they haven't faced a team like Auburn this season. Even last year's title run came without them facing a No. 1 or 2 seed.

My compadre, Sam Oshtry, picked the Tigers to win the region, and we're in lockstep. However, I'll do him one better. Auburn is my pick to win the national title at +1600 or better. If they can pull a mini-upset over UConn, the Tigers should be favored in any matchup thereafter.

Before the SEC Tournament, Pearl told his team it'd win nine straight games - three in Nashville and six in the NCAA Tournament. At 16-1, I'm willing to believe him. That starts with the East Region.

Pick: Auburn (+300 or better)

Then have bamboo shoved under their toenails.

For a total of 14 points at halftime. Loving every minute of it

Wagner and Colorado State with big wins for team UA

I'm hoping for a record low in points from UVA.

Loading up the east and putting AUBURN with UConn is one thing, but shipping us to the west coast for a Friday/Sunday slot and then to Boston for the Thursday/Saturday slot (assuming we win rd1 & rd2). On top of it all, the Sunday game in Spokane will be a later spot, probably keeping BRUCE and the boys from leaving for Boston until Monday morning. LULZ

Rivals100 OL Josh Petty holds Auburn as a 'special place' and plans to return for an official visit.

Lolololol!

What a sorry team. How on earth are they allowed in this tournament?

Possible first step in leaving the conference.

Be nice if they were going out today with plenty of time to recover from travel and adjust to time change.

Talk about committed…

Read in app Taiwan Criminal Investigation Bureau

• A student in Taiwan had his legs amputated to claim $1.3 million in insurance payouts, prosecutors said.
• The Criminal Investigation Bureau said the man soaked his feet for 10 hours in dry ice to get frostbite.
• But the plan backfired when medical staff thought his injuries seemed suspicious, the bureau said.
