Projecting Auburn's remaining schedule: Tigers miss 'real prize' at West Virginia, brutal stretch remains

Losing two straight to Texas A&M and West Virginia isn't how Bruce Pearl wanted to start the "toughest" 12-game stretch he can remember in his career, but it's what happened. Auburn faltered at home to the Aggies, then following a quick turnaround and trip to Morgantown, couldn't overcome a 17-point second-half deficit. The Tigers entered the game an underdog according to most analytics, with ESPN's Basketball Power Index giving the Tigers a 41 percent chance of winning. Here’s the remaining games for Auburn shape up according to the BPI projections.
