“Auburn’s still 17th in KenPom!” “We’re a top 25 team in NET!” “The refs suck!”
While all of these statements are true, if Auburn keeps losing, we’ll keep sliding in the bracket projections. The Tigers are still clearly a tournament team, and that is crazy to consider when looking at the state of Auburn basketball pre-2017. A strong finish with these last 7 games + SECT, and we won’t even worry about the last few weeks. But right now, Auburn is square in the middle of 7-10 seed range, meaning even if we can knock off a good team in the first round, you have a beast waiting for you on the weekend.
