Hey, guess what.
Auburn’s ranked again.
That’s what happens when you beat a top five team to finish the SEC season at 11-7 and earn the 5 seed in Nashville for this week’s SEC Tournament. Auburn’s 84-80 victory over Tennessee (along with four straight wins overall) helped to push the Tigers back into the rankings for the first time since January 21st. At that time, Auburn was just coming off of the close home loss to Kentucky, and followed it up with an 0-2 week with losses at South Carolina and Mississippi State.
Since that three-game losing streak, Auburn’s made a complete turnaround, winning 9 of 12 games.
