Auburn basketball has taken a turn this season down a road of success. A possibility to have the first 20-win season since 2008-09, Auburn is closing in on a highly successful season with motivation rolling into the 2017-18 campaign. As Bruce Pearl continues his project on the Plains, the Tigers will seemingly look to become one of the more dominant teams in the SEC and potentially Division I basketball.
Pearl has been blessed with a talented freshman class with 5-stars Austin Wiley and Mustapha Heron. These two are coupled with Jared Harper and Danjel Purifoy with Anfernee McLemore coming off the bench.
