Here’s a look at the South Region of the NCAA Tournament as March Madness gets set to tip off Tuesday:
No. 1 Auburn (28-5)
Conference: SEC
Coach: Bruce Pearl (11th season)
Post-ing up: The Tigers are one of the favorites to cut down the nets in San Antonio. Their starting lineup (23.2 years old) is almost as old as the opening group for the NBA’s Thunder (24.4), led by senior and Naismith Player of the Year candidate Johni Broome (18.9 points per game). Auburn can control games both offensively and defensively.
