After leaving No. 2 Tennessee with a sour taste in their mouths, the week ahead does not get any easier for the Auburn Tigers.
The No. 23 Tigers fought hard despite a grim shooting performance in their loss to the Volunteers last Saturday, 46-43. Auburn hung tough with the SEC’s No. 2 team, but now will have to prepare to battle two more of the conference’s toughest teams.
Auburn kicks off the week in Bryan-College Station, Texas with a rematch against Texas A&M on Tuesday evening. The Tigers look to get revenge on the Aggies after they snapped Auburn’s 28-game home winning streak by dismantling them, 79-63 at Neville Arena on Jan. 25.
The Tigers will then return to the Plains on Saturday for the much-anticipated showdown with No. 4 Alabama. The Tide continues to be the lone team without a conference loss to this point in the season with eight games remaining on the schedule. ESPN’s College Gameday will be on campus to mark the special occasion.
