2019 will go down as the greatest year in Auburn Basketball history. The Tigers won the SEC Tournament and advanced to the program’s first Final Four. Then the 2019-2020 team went a perfect 12-0 in non-conference play to close out the year. But a new season was upon the Tigers as they tipped off in 2020, a trip to Starkville to take on Mississippi State.
Despite the 12-0 record, they didn’t get a lot of respect nationally from people. And to be fair, Auburn won a lot of close games during that 12-0 start and their best win was either against Richmond or North Carolina State.
