A week prior to this game, everything was going great for the Auburn Tigers. Auburn had just wrapped up a win over Kentucky and were closing in on a SEC Championship. Then Saturday in Columbia, South Carolina changed things.
The Tigers suffered a devastating blow when Auburn lost Anfernee McLemore for the season due to injury. Auburn lost that game as well but after Anfernee’s injury, the game to me was meaningless. Anfernee had become the heart and soul of this group and it was heartbreaking to see him go down.
Then, before the game, we found out that Mustapha Heron was out due to illness.
