Auburn remained undefeated on the season with three wins during Thanksgiving week, but Bruce Pearl’s team slipped in the latest AP poll after an uneven week of play.. The Tigers were ranked 13th in each of the prior two weeks. The drop comes after a week in which the team won the Cancun Challenge, defeating Bradley and Northwestern in Mexico, and then returned home for a hard-fought win against Saint Louis.
Though Auburn’s record remained flawless, it didn’t come easy. The offense struggled in a rock fight with Northwestern on Wednesday, as the team shot just 26 percent from the field. The Tigers then staved off the Billikens on Sunday at Neville Arena, erasing a late five-point deficit and closing the game on a 12-2 run to improve to 7-0.
Arizona, Purdue, UConn, Alabama and Tennessee all jumped Auburn in this week’s poll, while Duke, North Carolina and Michigan State fell below Pearl’s team. Auburn is one of five SEC teams ranked in the latest top-25, with four of them ranked between 11th and 15th. Alabama and Arkansas are tied as the highest-ranked league teams this week, both checking in at No. 11. Alabama’s climb came after its quadruple-overtime win against then-No. 1 North Carolina on Sunday. Tennessee is ranked 13th, moving up nine spots after improving to 5-1. Kentucky is the other SEC team ranked this week, checking in at No. 19.
