Three Tigers that raised their stock last week
AUBURN -- Auburn basketball has won seven straight games by an average of 15 points per game. That hasn't happened since 1932-33. The latest win came on Saturday, as Bruce Pearl notched his fifth all-time win at Arkansas and third win at Arkansas as the Tigers' head coach. Auburn has only beaten Arkansas six times ever in Fayetteville, meaning Pearl owns half of Auburn's all-time victories at Arkansas. And to make Saturday more historic, Auburn's 32-point win was the worst defeat Arkansas has ever suffered inside Bud Walton Arena, a building that opened in 1993. No. 25 Auburn is sure to rise in the rankings this week. Multiple teams ahead of Auburn in the AP poll lost, and more impressively, the Tigers are No. 5 in the T-Rank computer ratings, No. 6 in KenPom and No. 8 in the NCAA's NET rankings. Auburn sits at 12-2 overall, 1-0 in the league with Texas A&M coming to town on Tuesday night. That game will be televised on ESPN2 and tip at 8 pm CT.
