After 113 years of wandering in the wilderness the Auburn Tigers are going to the Final Four. And the Tigers did it with yet another win over one of basketball’s royalty: Auburn 77, Kentucky 71. No one, I mean no one thought they could do it except the coach who instilled a contagious confidence in this team.
The Tigers last regular loss came in Lexington after which Bruce Pearl built a fire under this team that almost seems indistinguishable. Looking back that had to be the turning point that has produced this magical post season run.
