There’s a part of me that believes this Auburn basketball team could do some beautiful things come March, but it’s hard to come to grips with that possibility. There are plenty of signs as to why this season will simply be a stepping stone for things to come in the future — and that’s OK.
I am a firm believer that March is the time of the year where every team in the country withstands a universal epiphany, where everyone seems to understand their role at the perfect time. Yet there’s something about this Tiger team that brings that notion further away from reality — youth and inexperience coupled with ego.
