The regular season is winding down and it is time to switch gears and get ready for conference tournaments this week and next. There are some teams who have the potential to upset a few teams in their conference tournaments. One of them is Auburn. Auburn is one of the grittiest and disrupting teams I have seen all season. It will be interesting to see how far Auburn gets this week and whether or not the committee thinks it will be enough to solidify an at-large bid in the tournament.
