To the Finals of the SEC Tournament

Whadda you know?  The Tigers will be playing in the SEC Tournament Finals for the first and only the second time since 1985.  I remember well that '85 game as Sonny Smith with Person and Barkley beat Alabama 52 to 48.

The Tigers just beat UF 65 to 62 after erasing Missouri and South Carolina.  This team has a slot of character.  This team has character.  This team has a strong bench.  This team has Jared Harper.  Our diminutive guard hits a three today and a free throw at the end to clinch the victory.  With the game on the line, give Harper the ball and let him go, and that's what Coach Pearl wisely does.

I write as Kentucky and Tennessee tip off.  Either team should be heavily favored tomorrow.  Win or lose tomorrow, this is a great Auburn team, so much fun to watch.

I read on Auburn Undercover that we were in title game in 2000.  I have no memory of that game.
