    Get the Coach's Edge

    Let the experts at Coach's Edge get you ready for the NCAA Tournament with an inside look at the Auburn playbook.
    For obvious reasons, Auburn has really struggled without Chris Porter, whose ineligibility is a story you hate to talk about. The Tigers, without their best player, lost their final four regular-season games before finding a groove in the SEC tournament.

    In addition to Porter, injuries are also taking a toll on the Tigers' front court. Daymeon Fishback and Mamadou N'diaye have knee injuries. Regardless, the Tigers have managed to keep battling, giving LSU a tough game before losing.

    The backcourt, however, is now the strength of the team, with Scott Pohlman and Doc Robinson. If they are to have a chance, the Tigers will need to rely on long-range shooting.

    I would have said two weeks ago that Auburn would be in good shape as a second or third seed. Now the Tigers could be one and done. The second round could be as far as they go. -- Larry Conley, ESPN
