Auburn Once Again Brings Pride to the State

The Auburn Men's Swimming Team won its 10th straight SEC title. This also marks the 12th time in 13 years that the Tigers have won the title. This year's title came after Auburn won their most convincing meet yet, beating Florida by 161.5 points. Auburn Swim Coach David Marsh is now being compared to Joe Paterno or Bobby Bowden as Auburn's Swim Team makes its name as one of the most dominant programs in the history of all sports. In other Auburn news, Auburn freshman, Mike Bianucci was named the Southeastern Conference's player of the week after batting 4 of 5 on Friday with a double, 2 home runs and 6 RBIs. Auburn swept Hofstra thanks to Bianucci's bat.

Across the state, the UAT women's basketball team lost to Tennessee by a score of 82-65. This marks Tennessee's 30th consecutive victory over UAT. In case you thought you read that wrong, let me repeat, "This marks Tennessee's 30th consecutive victory over UAT". The number of loses is not the only problem noted in Tuscaloosa, it's also the lack of support. The basketball team's loss came in front of a crowd of only 5,380 people, most of which were Tennessee fans.
