March Madness is just around the corner, and Auburn Tigers fans are ecstatic! For the first time in program history, Auburn has secured the No. 1 overall seed in the NCAA Tournament.
This means they’ll be heading to Lexington, Kentucky, as the top team in the South Region.
Auburn’s journey to the top has been nothing short of impressive. Despite a recent rut of losses, including three of their last four games, the Tigers have boasted the best resume in college basketball essentially all season. They’ve gone 16-5 in Quadrant 1 opportunities, a testament to their strength and resilience.
As the No. 1 overall seed, Auburn will face the winner of the 16-seed First Four game between Saint Frances and Alabama State in their opening game on Thursday. Should they advance, they’ll face the winner of No. 8 seed Louisville vs. No. 9 seed Creighton on Saturday.
The Tigers are looking to break their streak of being bounced in the first weekend of the tournament in three straight seasons. With their No. 1 overall seed, they’re poised to make a deep run in the tournament [5).
Auburn fans, get ready for the ultimate tournament experience in Lexington! The energy is electric, and the Tigers are ready to take on the best of the best. Will they emerge victorious and claim the NCAA championship title? Only time will tell, but one thing’s for sure – it’s going to be an unforgettable ride!
