In today's edition of Auburn Tigers News, the basketball team stays at the #2 spot in the AP Poll, and we review the transfer portal haul heading into the final week
After a blowout of another ranked program this past weekend, the Auburn basketball team was still voted to the #2 position in the AP Poll behind Tennessee. Despite the Tigers' wins over ranked Iowa State, Houston, and Purdue, it still wasn't enough to overcome the undefeated Volunteers.
The Tigers have only one loss to date against Duke in Cameron Indoor but have more Quad 1 wins than any other team in the country. With the best resume in college basketball, it seems the Tigers still have something to prove.
