NEW YORK — And in the background they heard the names of the victims being read one by one, by family, by teachers, by friends.
The Auburn basketball team took more than an educational side trip to the 9/11 Memorial and Museum on Saturday. They were able to step back and learn what happened on Sept. 11, 2001 when the World Trade Center Twin Towers were struck, when 2,977 died.
Auburn flew in to New York and bused directly to the memorial before practicing for Monday's game against Boston College in Madison Square Garden.
