For the first time in 15 years, Auburn fans actually have a rooting interest in March Madness besides winning one of their dozen bracket challenges. The Tigers ended their NCAA Tournament drought in style by capturing their 3rd SEC regular season title and earning their 2nd highest tourney seed ever. Auburn needs only 2 wins to advance to the Sweet 16 and put an exclamation mark on what has been a thrilling season.
But those 2 wins won’t be easy. If the Tigers hope to play another week, they will first have get past a gutsy Charleston squad who ended an even longer NCAA tournament drought of their own this past week.
