The Tigers’ tough month of February rolls along Saturday afternoon. After a disappointing loss to Arkansas last week, and a rally to force overtime and pull one out against Mississippi State, LSU welcomes a quality Auburn team that’s won three straight.
Auburn’s season mirrors Mississippi State’s, LSU’s previous opponent. The Tigers and Bulldogs both started the season ranked, climbed higher up the polls- Auburn reached as high as No. 7 in the country- but has had a tough go of things in league play and each fell out of the top-25.
Auburn stumbled out of the gates in SEC play, dropping their conference opener to Ole Miss and then lost three consecutive games: a two-point loss to Kentucky, a three-point loss at South Carolina, and an eight-point loss at The Hump in Starkville.
