Resume building: Huge opportunities await Auburn after dropping from AP poll

For the first time in 33 weeks of AP Top-25 college basketball rankings, Auburn basketball didn't make the cut. The Tigers dropped three spots to No. 28 after beating Georgia by 21 and losing at now No. 6 Tennessee by three after Wendell Green Jr's buzzer beater three-point attempt fell short. Despite falling out of the rankings and making history, as Pearl would say, the Tigers still have a bunch of great opportunities for marquee wins to add to the resume, including two massive opportunities this week. Each Monday, we’ll take a look at Auburn’s resume as 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.
