It is GREAT to be an AUBURN TIGER!!!!!
Ping to the AUBURN list. WarEagle!
You got real lucky yesterday.
Hopefully we’ll still get in.
How will they match up with the ACC big three - Duke, Virginia, N.C. ??
Virginia will probably exit early again.
Tennessee played like a bunch of cross-eyed deer on an ice pond...
There is luck involved in every game.
We will find out.
I agree with you about Virginia. Florida State is the third really scary team out of the ACC.
War Eagle! Love those Tigers!
UT’s Williams’s the PHD from the Duke Royal Academy of Floppers didn’t get to shot 35 free throws thus the beat down. UK fan here and I was pulling for Auburn all the way.
That’s your problem, not mine....
We got #10. That’s about right.
I think we should beat Nevada. But after that.......Not bloody likely.
That is a great complement to their play this day. They won't get far in the tournament if they play again like that. Barnes is going to have to light a fire under their butts to change things.
I don’t know if the Kentucky game took a lot out of them or if they thought they would have no problem with Auburn...
They looked totally different from one day to the next...
WAR EAGLE!
Since 1995 I heard.
We’ll see how much luck it took to beat Tennessee by 20 points. You guys lost to them by 12.
However,
SEC RULES,
EVERYONE ELSE DROOLS.
I hadn’t heard of Auburn Basketball since the Round Mound of Rebound was there.
I thought I heard one of the announcers say the last time Auburn got into the Big Dance was 1995.
Looked at the Google and there wasn’t much on it.
If so, last time before that was with Barkley? Crap I’m old.
Looks like they are legit, WOW if they go far...
Wow!!! What a sight to behold!! They played lights out against Tennessee!!! If they keep playing like that, they will be a force to be reckoned with in the NCAA Tournament!!! War Eagle!!!!

It’s going to be an eventful Sunday for Auburn. First, the Tigers will play Tennessee vying for the SEC Tournament championship — something they haven’t played for since 2000 or won since 1985.
Then, AU will head back to its Nashville hotel to watch the Selection Show at 5 p.m., where they’re currently projected as a No. 5 seed. Auburn has defeated Missouri, South Carolina and Florida to get to this matchup with the Volunteers. UT has defeated Mississippi State and Kentucky to make the finals.
