Auburn basketball got its wish, but it came at a marginal cost. The Tigers were named the No. 1 overall seed in this year's NCAA Tournament on Sunday, but with their draw, they'll be one of four teams that must wait to find out who their first opponent is in round of 64 play.

Auburn gets hit with ultimate karma as No. 1 overall seed with potential second round upset looming. Auburn was truly gifted the No. 1 overall seed. They ended the year losing two straight and three of the last five games, didn’t play for an SEC Tournament championship, yet they are considered the best team in the field.

During the selection show Sunday night, Auburn was named a 1-seed. They'll take on Alabama State or St. Francis in Lexington next week. The Tigers had a phenomenal start in the regular season, holding the No.1 spot on the Ap Top 25 for eight weeks.
