Auburn is the No. 1 seed overall seed and is headed to the South Region of the NCAA Tournament. The Tigers spent eight weeks at No. 1 in the AP Top 25 before losing three of its past four games, including an SEC tourney semifinal to Tennessee.

Auburn won this tournament last year only to wind up a No. 4 seed when the selection committee announced the NCAA Tournament bracket. Auburn lost to Yale in the first round.

The Auburn Tigers were eliminated from the SEC Tournament following their semifinals loss to the Tennessee Volunteers. Did this defeat cost Auburn the No. 1 overall seed in the NCAA Tournament?

Auburn is the top overall seed in the NCAA Tournament, with Duke, Houston and Florida joining the Tigers on the No. 1 line in the March Madness brackets released Sunday.

March Madness is off to a sour start for the Auburn Tigers. Bruce Pearl's squad fell in the SEC Tournament semifinals on Saturday to Tennessee for its third loss over its last four games since the calendar flipped to March. Now, the Tigers must work to improve their recent struggles and focus on winning the NCAA Tournament crown.
