In the shadows of the night before the south’s oldest rivalry takes place in Jordan-Hare stadium, the Auburn basketball team has emerged to great anticipation and is ready to showcase its hard work in the arena across the way.
Last year was the start of rebuilding by first-year basketball coach Bruce Pearl. Auburn finished the season 15 – 20 over all and 4 – 14 in SEC play to finish in 13th place. However, the Tigers advanced to the semifinals of the SEC Tournament before falling to eventual champion Kentucky. But that was last year, my friend.
The 2015 Auburn Men’s Basketball season begins tonight.
