Despite their disappointing performance in the SEC Tournament Auburn is set to be a No. 2 seed in the NCAA Tournament. The Tigers will be in the Midwest Region with No. 1 seed Kansas.
Auburn is set to face in-state Jacksonville State (21-10) in their first-round game on Friday in Greenville, South Carolina.
Auburn spent most of the season as a potential 1 seed but stumbled during the final weeks of the season, going 3-3 in their last six games. They finished 27-5 overall and were the outright champions of the regular season.
While their struggles are real, Auburn still has one of the best duos in the country with Jabari Smith and Walker Kessler. Also, when their guards are hot the Tigers are capable of beating anyone in the country and can make a deep run in the tournament.
Here is how Twitter reacted to their seeding.
