Auburn won at South Carolina last night…that is 10 straight wins now for the Tigers. I have talked a lot about Future NBA Star Jabari Smith and Carolina Transfer Walker Kessler. They are the stars. The glue may be Wendell Green. He does it all, and against South Carolina he scored 22 points. He’s Detroit tough and he is what this Auburn team has grown into. Deep. Gritty. Electric. And getting better. This teams Defense is nasty and if you do get a shot off, often times it comes right back at you. I’ve got friends who bet Auburn to win the National Championship at 50-1 back in the preseason…big odds for a team that is now 40-1 and dropping. Alabama is 25-1. Grab your popcorn.
