War Eagle, everybody! What a strange week in Auburn basketball. A week ago, a trip to the snow in Missouri, and a double digit loss, had us reeling with a huge headache. Then Auburn really stunk up the joint in Athens, Georgia at midweek. I did not have a whole lot of hope with Tennessee coming to town yesterday, but Auburn erased a 17-point second-half deficit with an 18–0 run and flushed Tennessee down the stretch for a big 73–66 win over the visiting Volunteers.
Auburn has built its 22–4 record mainly on defense, forcing turnovers, limiting the other team’s best player, and not allowing easy shots.
