Justin and Painter break down Auburn basketball’s critical 79-70 victory over Tennessee. They look at why the Tigers were able to take advantage of Zakai Ziegler’s absence on both ends of the floor, how Wendell Green Jr. got his groove back, why the rest of the starters were so important and just how loud it got in the Arena when Lior Berman dunked.

Then the guys take a quick look ahead to the SEC Tournament matchup against Arkansas and the latest round of Bracketology. How much can Auburn help its seeding in Nashville — or has the Selection Committee taught us that the postseason isn’t canon?

The episode ends with some football talk, including a trip through a few big topics from the first week of spring ball and the impressive performances by several former Tigers during the NFL Combine in Indianapolis.
