“Auburn’s Revenge: How the Tigers Plan to Turn the Tables on Florida After Last Season’s Heartbreak”

Auburn received the #1 overall seed in the tournament, and I don’t think there was much question about why they got it. For the majority of the year, they looked like the best team in the country. There was a lot of movement in the standings/rankings for teams, but Auburn, for the most part, held steady in the first spot for more days than anyone else. Then around the end of the season, it started to look like the team was falling apart a bit or starting to crack. They lost three of their final four games prior to the NCAA Tournamnet, including before even getting to play in the SEC Championship game. For the year that put them with five losses. Prior to that stretch, just two losses – and both happen to be against other Final Four teams. One was at Duke, and the other was at home against, you guessed it, Florida. In the tournament, the team looks better and rejuvenated. For the most part, they’ve coasted to this point. Against Michigan State, they won by six, but even that felt like they were pretty much in control. Johni Broome got hurt, but came back late in the game and secured some late rebounds.
