Auburn leads SEC men’s basketball standings going into the season finale
The final weekend is upon us for SEC regular-season basketball. On Wednesday night while facing off with the Mississippi State Bulldogs, the Auburn Tigers men’s basketball team needed overtime to earn a share of the conference title.
There are plenty of big matchups remaining for Saturday. If Auburn knocks off South Carolina in the home finale, it will win the outright SEC title. However, a loss by the Tigers and wins by the Arkansas Razorbacks, Kentucky Wildcats or Tennessee Vols would create a tie at the top of the conference.
All Auburn has to do is take care of business against the Gamecocks. We break down the updated SEC standings ahead of the jam-packed Saturday of conference hoops action.
