It’s the return of Zep Jasper. On Friday Auburn head coach Bruce Pearl stated that Jasper would be available to play against Texas A&M on Saturday. That announcement couldn’t have come at a better time. In the two games that he sat out with an illness, the Tigers have had low assist numbers while their turnovers have skyrocketed.
After dropping the last game against the Arkansas Razorbacks, it is time for the Tigers to get back on the winning side of things once again. The game between Auburn and Arkansas had a record number of views according to ESPN’s PR release.

There are just seven games remaining on the schedule and this will be the first of their final four home games on the season. Currently, Auburn is viewed as a No. 1 seed in the upcoming NCAA tournament. Unless disaster strikes, they should be in line for the No. 1 overall seed, but no worse than one of the four No. 1 seeds.
