AUBURN, Ala. - For the 20th time in program history, Auburn is headed to the NCAA Tournament.
“In my 15 years in the Southeastern Conference as a coach, I think this was the toughest field to make,” Auburn coach Butch Thompson said. “It felt really good to see Auburn University come up on that screen.”
After finishing the season 35-24 and 16-14 in the SEC, the Tigers earned their second bid to the field of 64 since 2010.
Auburn earned a No. 4 national ranking in May before a seven-game losing streak put the Tigers on the bubble for an at-large bid.
