Men's Basketball Faces a Big Week Ahead in the Final Week of SEC Play

After falling to Kentucky on Saturday, Auburn will play their final two regular season games before traveling to the SEC Tournament in Nashville next week. The Tigers need to win one more game to secure a top-4 finish in the SEC. They will face Texas A&M in Auburn Arena tomorrow night before going to Knoxville to face Tennesee.

As it stands, Auburn will be the two seed in the SEC Tournament, but depending on LSU and Florida's results, Auburn could see themselves fall if they were to lose one or both games this week.

LSU will finish out the season at Arkansas and at home against Georgia. Florida will travel to Georgia tomorrow night and host Kentucky on Saturday.

For Auburn to finish second, the best scenario for them is to win out. If Auburn drops one game, they would need both LSU to lose once. If they dropped both games this week, Auburn would need to have both Florida and LSU lose.

Tip-off for the Texas A&M will be at 6pm on Wednesday and Saturday's game will begin at 11am. Both games will be on ESPN2.
