The story of this season’s hardwood version of the Iron Bowl undoubtedly begins where it left off a year ago, in an erupting Coleman Coliseum with time expiring, the last time Auburn and Alabama faced off. Then, it was the young, upstart, and short-handed 2010-2011 Tigers trying to pull off the upset in one of [...]

The high-scoring of Auburn’s 91-88 loss to Mississippi State Saturday afternoon in Starkville was certainly a surprise, especially for Auburn supporters who are used to their Tigers dealing with their fair share of struggles on the offensive end, but also seeing them play a shutdown brand of basketball on defense. Coming into the game, Auburn [...]

From the start of the new year to the beginning of conference play in January, Auburn basketball supporters have had the joy and agony of watching two completely different teams take the court — the Auburn Tigers At Home, and the Auburn Tigers On The Road. In that span, Auburn is 4-1 in Auburn Arena, [...]

An Auburn gymnastics meet is something different from most things you’ve seen in sports. There isn’t a ball, a bat, a club, or a racquet. There are hand grips and chalk powder. Stripe-suited referees are replaced by judges seated at a scoring table. Gone is the green of a playing field or the reflective shine [...]

Monday night against Bethune-Cookman, Auburn played the best basketball game it’s played all year. And no, that’s not a lame New Year’s joke. The 67-41 win at home was truly the most complete and well-rounded game that Auburn has put together this season. Obviously the big news of the night came with Kenny Gabriel recording [...]

The Good Guys: There’s a big difference between finishing a season 8-5 and finishing it 7-6. I don’t even have to tell you what a boost the Outback Bowl victory over Northwestern at the end of 2009 was in propelling the Tigers to a national championship run in 2010. Now Auburn enters the Chick-fil-A Bowl [...]

Just when things were looking up for the Auburn basketball team in the Diamond Head Classic, the Tigers set for themselves a new series of low standards for the season against Long Beach State in the tournament semifinals. Perhaps the best part of Auburn’s victory over Hawaii in the tournament opener two nights ago was [...]

Auburn fans who stayed up late Thursday night and into early Friday morning to see their Tigers compete in the first round of the Diamond Head Classic were treated to a thrilling game and a 65-62 victory over the home standing Hawaii Rainbow Warriors. Things seemed all but lost for the Tigers when they faced [...]

The 2011-2012 Auburn basketball team has been in the national spotlight just once this young season, in an 81-59 loss to Seton Hall during the SEC/Big East Challenge on Dec. 2. For many of expat Auburn fans, the loss—Auburn’s first road test of the season and the only time the Tigers have been nationally televised [...]

The Good Guys: In a way, Saturday’s game could provide some relief to the Auburn faithful, as it brings about the conclusion of the brutal four-game stretch that they’ve been dreading since January 11. With an upset victory in Columbia, and in holding serve last week at home against Florida, Auburn has navigated it better [...]
