The Auburn Tigers are set to start their NCAA Tournament Thursday against the Iowa Hawkeyes.
The No. 9 seed Tigers are 1.5-point favorites over the No. 8 seed Hawkeyes and a key reason why is that the game will be played in Birmingham, just 110 miles away from Auburn.
The Tigers are coming off a loss to the Arkansas Razorbacks in their first game of the SEC Tournament. Meanwhile, Iowa is riding a two-game losing streak after dropping games to Nebraska and Ohio State.
Before their game against the Hawkeyes, Auburn held a shootaround at Legacy Arena, here are the top photos from the practice.
