Who to Look Out For Ahead of the NCAA Men's Tournament

With Selection Sunday around the corner, it’s the time of the year when the phrases “Quad 1” and “Quality Losses” are thrown around more than ever. As the field of 64 becomes clearer, countless experts scan team resumes, trying to deduce which programs deserve at-large bids into the Big Dance.

Most teams have impressive resumes but look equally similar to others in the field.

But one team stands above the rest. The Auburn Tigers boast a ridiculous 15-3 record in Quad 1 games, the highest by a wide margin in Division I. To be the best, you have to beat the best. Day in and day out, the Tigers beat down quality opponents soundly in the toughest conference in college basketball, with the record to back it up.

War Eagle has taken flight—soaring high above the rest of the field. The media agrees. In the latest AP Poll, the Tigers were crowned the unanimous No. 1 team in the country, garnering all first-place votes.

The team posts TikTok dances after every win—with the season they’ve had—a lot. They go live on social media to stream their Fortnite games. The Tigers aren’t just the best team in the country, they’re also all best friends.
