April a Month Worth Celebrating for Auburn Sports
They say March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb, but for the majority of Auburn sports that is not true. The month of April has proven to be one worth celebrating.
April started off hot for Auburn sports with men’s basketball advancing to the Final Four only to fall less than one second shy of advancing to the title game. Yes that was abysmal, but in the last month Auburn Athletics has acquired two national titles and sent tons of Tigers to the pros. Is your head spinning yet? It’s cool, we have the recap here:
