Well, that was disappointing.
Auburn lost its first game of the season this past weekend in Atlanta as the Tigers fell to Memphis in the Holiday Hoopsgiving event. The good Tigers never seemed to find an offense, couldn’t rebound like we know they can, and couldn’t put together timely stops to prevent Memphis from running away with the game in the end.
This same thing happened last year in a neutral site game, but Auburn was much more competitive in that instance when the Tigers lost to UConn in double overtime. We saw the Tigers come back and win the next 19 games, rising to number one in the country in the process.
