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, ESPNROSTER
