It wasn't the week Auburn basketball had hoped with a home loss to Texas A&M and a near 17-point comeback win at West Virginia falling short. The good news, however, is the Tigers held on to their AP poll top-25 ranking, coming in at No. 25 in the latest poll. The Tigers' record: 16-5 overall and 6-2 in league play. Each Monday, we’ll take a look at Auburn’s resume as Bruce Pearl’s squad fights for their fourth NCAA Tournament appearance in the last six seasons, and would be fifth appearance in the last six years, if not for the COVID-shortened season.
