5 things to know about the Auburn Tigers, Round 2

Despite only playing in ten games so far this season, it is clear that the most talented player on the floor this afternoon will be Auburn’s Sharife Cooper. Formerly a Kentucky target, Cooper was a 5-star and top-25 prospect out of Marietta, Georgia in the Class of 2020. Just three days before this season started, Auburn announced that Cooper’s eligibility as being reviewed by the NCAA and that he was not going to be playing until it was resolved. Some questioned if Cooper would even stay at Auburn, or jump ship to head overseas for a season before entering the NBA Draft.
