Ah yes, the heartburn stretch of the season when the Tigers played in 4 Overtime games in a 5 game stretch (and won ALL 4 of them).
Auburn returned to SEC play after their win over Iowa State in the SEC/Big 12 Challenge. There was a lot of excitement in the air with Kentucky coming to Auburn Arena on Saturday, along with.... ESPN’s College Gameday. The show had announced that they were coming to town for the first time on the basketball side for the matchup against the Wildcats.
But before that game, the Tigers had to travel to Oxford to play Ole Miss, a team who was a thorn in Auburn’s side the previous season winning both meetings against Auburn.
