Three weeks ago, Auburn was solidly in the NCAA field; however, many losses later the Barn , according to Joe Lunardi sits on line number eleven as one of the last five teams in the field with a road game in Tuscaloosa and a home game against Tennesee in front of them. I would submit that the Barn has to win both games or they could easily end up in the NIT, hosting a game on the Plains. At the same time as the Barn sits on the 11 line, Miss State is one place back with games remaining against South Carolina and at Vanderbilt. Miss State cannot afford to lose either game.
In short, today I would not want to be Bruce Pearl and the Auburn Tigers. There back is clearly against the wall and they need a win tomorrow, just as we need a win on senior night for the SEC Title.
Just for information Jerry Palm has the Barn on the 10th line.
