Auburn, a top-10 team.
In basketball.
That feels good, doesn’t it?
We got a little taste of it last season when the Auburn basketball team climbed as high as No. 8 in the AP Top 25. But an injury late in the season to Anfernee McLemore took away Auburn’s best rim protector — and a budding threat on offense — and the Tigers were never the same team.
Earlier Tuesday, we wrote that the Stadium’s Jeff Goodman placed Auburn 10th in his preseason top-25 rankings.
It didn’t take long to find another outlet with high expectations for this Auburn basketball team.
