Auburn's NCAA Tournament Hopes Hang by a Thread

Auburns college basketball season took a hit as they lost to Tennessee in the SEC Tournament, blowing a ten-point lead in the final minutes. Nate Ament led Tennessee with 27 points, while Auburns Tahaad Pettiford scored 28. Coach Pearl praised his teams effort but noted Tennessees physical play. Auburn, with 16 losses, is now on the NCAA Tournament bubble, with key wins against Saint Johns, Arkansas, Kentucky, and Florida on the road.
