So, we’re not just a football school anymore, y’all!
Basketball school status: ACHIEVED.
Okay, that’s jumping the gun. But at this point, Auburn basketball’s in as good of a position as it’s been in since the turn of the millennium.
The Tigers beat Middle Tennessee (RPI 13) last night in Birmingham in a game that wasn’t quite as close as the final six-point margin made it seem. With the win, the Tigers improved to 9-1 on the year, which is their best start since 1999.
Way back in 1999, Auburn started the year 14-1 before starting to fall apart and losing seven of the final twelve games of the season once Y2K hit.
