NASHVILLE, Tenn. — If Auburn men’s basketball finds itself on any kind of postseason run, it won’t be in Nashville.
Any hopes the Tigers had of a deep run in this year’s Southeastern Conference were dashed when they lost to 10th-seeded Arkansas 76-73 on Thursday in Nashville. It was the 12th game they’d played since Jan. 28, and it was the ninth game decided by single digits, and sixth of those decided in the final minute of regulation or overtime. Auburn is 2-7 in those nine games.

As of Friday morning, ESPN’s Joe Lunardi and CBS Sports’ Jerry Palm had the Tigers ranging from a No. 8 to a No. 10 seed, and Fox Sports’ Mike DeCourcey had them as a No. 11 seed Thursday afternoon. And as of March 9, Bracket Matrix listed no projection for the Tigers any higher or lower than those seeds.
Much like he has all season, Pearl said after the Tigers' SEC Tournament loss, the rest of the season and where his team could land was well-discussed. Arkansas dominated Auburn on the glass in the Tigers’ 76-73 loss in the SEC Tournament on Thursday. The Razorbacks were plus-18 on the glass, including plus-7 on offensive rebounds. That led to 18 second-chance points, and a 19-of-23 night on dunks and layups.
Since Auburn’s Feb. 4 loss to Tennessee, only three of its games have seen it log a positive rebounding margin. Only one of those single-game margins — ironically a season-high plus-22 rebounding margin against Missouri on Feb. 14 — was a greater than plus-2.
