If Auburn wants to play in the NCAA Tournament, the Tigers have some work to do during the rest of SEC play.
In Joe Lunardi’s latest Bracketology, Steven Pearl’s team is sitting at an eight seed for the 2026 NCAA Tournament, and that was before Tuesday evening’s controversial loss to Texas A&M in Neville Arena.
After a tough non-conference schedule that saw the Tigers face four teams in the top 10, Pearl’s squad came out with just one win over a ranked team, which came against then-No. 14 St. John’s in the Players Era Championship in Las Vegas.
