No Anfernee McLemore.

No Mustapha Heron.

No problem. https://trib.al/8c4Nmga


QuoteThey might live beyond the three-point line.

They might start three guards.

They might all have six-pack abs.

But if you look inside this Auburn team you can see it.

These Tigers play like they're channeling the spirit of Charles Barkley at all times.

Hearts as big as basketballs.

Small ball playing 10-feet tall.

Intensity thicker than a Lee County Southern drawl.

On Wednesday, Barkley was finally there to see them in person, these Auburn outliers, this living tribute -- the greatest basketball player Auburn has ever had witnessing a magical regular season like no other. If you could only make it to one Auburn home game this season, this was it. Amid this unbelievable run, Auburn 90, Alabama 71 was the most dream-like and euphoric performance of all.

Auburn (24-4, 12-3 in the SEC) had seven scholarship players available. That's it. Just two more than five. And most of them were guards.

And Alabama didn't have a chance.

No Anfernee McLemore.

No Mustapha Heron.

No problem.

No mercy.

"We had to punch them in the mouth early," Auburn coach Bruce Pearl said.
