It’s been an uneven week for several teams ranked in the top 10 of the Associated Press Top 25 poll. Iowa State, Alabama, Florida, Tennessee, Marquette And Kentucky all have a number next to their name (in the AP poll so far) but lost as favorites this week.
Auburn But it was good.
Even though the Tigers played two games against ranked opponents – one at home, one on the road – and were without their best player (John Broome), they still completed a 2-0 week. First, on Tuesday, they shelled Mississippi State 88-66. Then, on Saturday, they won 70-68 at Georgia to extend their winning streak to 10 games and remain No. 1 in the daily CBS Sports Top 25 And 1 rankings updated Sunday morning.
“Just a great win,” Auburn coach Bruce Pearl said after his Tigers held on for the two-point victory that put the Bulldogs away. two potential game-tying shots in the final seven seconds. “Road wins are hard to come by in this league – especially road wins against one of your main rivals and a ranked team like Georgia. I thought by starting right out of the gate we were sending a very strong message that we didn’t come here without our best player to (just) try to give you a great fight. We came here to try to win the match.
With the win, Auburn is now 17-1 and has a nation-best 10 wins in Quadrant 1 heading into a stretch where the Tigers don’t have a midweek game. This is obviously huge considering Broome, projected as a first-team All-American, remains sidelined due to an ankle injury suffered in last weekend’s win at South Carolina.
Will Broome play Saturday against Tennessee?
This remains unclear.
Either way, the Tigers’ matchup with UT will provide our final edition of Pearl Coaching against the school he led to a No. 1 ranking in February 2008. Now, Pearl puts Auburn in No. 1 for the second time in four years. duration, thus enhancing his Hall of Fame-worthy credentials. But Pearl will likely have to beat her old school on Saturday to keep that No. 1 ranking – especially with Dukethe only team to beat Auburn so far this season, riding a 12-game winning streak that puts the Blue Devils at No. 2 in the Top 25 and 1.
