No. 5 Auburn basketball has its sights set on the 'reatest prize' — an outright SEC title.
Auburn has fallen on some rocky times since then, going 3-3 over its last three games heading into the final week of the regular season. Yet as the calendar flips to March, the third-ranked Tigers still find themselves in a position to once again make history. They’re one up in the SEC standings with two games to play, meaning they need just one win against either Mississippi State on Wednesday or South Carolina on Saturday to clinch a share of a regular-season conference crown.
Now Auburn has a chance to add a fourth, and its second under Pearl, if it can shake some of its recent struggles and close the regular-season strong. First up will be Wednesday’s 8 p.m. road trip to Mississippi State, where the Bulldogs are 7-1 at home in conference play. Mississippi State has beaten both Arkansas and Alabama in Starkville, Miss., this season; the Bulldogs also pushed Kentucky to overtime at Rupp Arena earlier this season.
Not bad for a team picked to finish fifth in the league in the preseason, thanks to an overhauled roster that featured five newcomers — including four instant-impact transfers and five-star freshman Jabari Smith — and just one preseason All-SEC selection. While a regular-season title may not come with the pomp of a conference tournament crown or an NCAA Tournament run, it’s still an accomplishment that Pearl has long placed added value to.
