After finishing the regular season and conference tournament at 27-5, and winning the SEC regular season championship outright, Auburn has discovered its destination for the 2022 NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament.
The Tigers will be the 2-seed in the Midwest Region, opening the Tournament against Jacksonville State on Friday, coming in behind Kansas which earned the top seed in the quadrant. It will be Auburn’s first trip to the NCAA Tournament since the fateful Final Four run of 2019, since COVID and the preemptive postseason self-ban ruined the last two seasons’ championship hopes.
