Epic turnaround

Even when it was happening, Auburn basketball fans didn’t know what they were witnessing. After dropping their second game to Temple, the Tigers reeled off 10 straight wins leading into SEC play. It was when the Tigers started SEC play that they began to pick up major steam. They knocked off two ranked teams in Tennessee and Arkansas to jump into the top 25.

They then knocked off both Mississippi schools to get the nation’s best winning streak.

Now they sit atop the SEC with a perfect 4-0 record, which ironically is how many wins they were predicted to get total in the league.
