- Congratulations to the Auburn basketball team for a wonderful season! What a fun season this has been watching our Tigers win the SEC Regular Season Championship and making it to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament. A big War Eagle to Seniors Bryant Smith and Adrian Chilliest for giving their ALL for 4 years! Thanks for the memories. Look for another great basketball season next year, because we only lose two players off this team, and I believe Auburn will have another great recruiting season. We'll Be Back!!! - War Eagle!!!
