Top 10 Auburn memes after loss to No. 13 Yale

​

#10. Even the alums are not safe

Former NBA great Charles Barkley has been vocal of his support for his alma mater. "Chuck" played for the Tigers from 1981-84. They were able to make just one NCAA Tournament appearance during his time.

#9. Was Auburn too physical for Yale?

While SEC players are known for their physical style of play, could it be true that the Tigers took it too far? If one were to go by the fouls called, that would be true.

#8. Was this a case of bad officiating?

Angry fans resorted to blaming the officials for everything that went wrong during the game.

#7. When you can't make the game-winning shot

Auburn’s K.D. Johnson had a contested look for a winning 3-pointer at the final buzzer. But the shot did not go in and the Tigers had to settle for the loss.

#6. Back to square one

With the exit, Auburn will need to evaluate itself and prepare for the transfer portal and a new incoming class of recruits.

#5. When you choke in the clutch

After a great 27-8 run this regular season, this early exit for the Tigers is brutal.

#4. Oh My Lord

If one could listen intently, behind the memes and the sarcastic jokes, there is a heartbroken fanbase.

#3. When the basketball royalty is not so great anymore

Besides Auburn, Kentucky also lost to a double-digit seeded team on Thursday. The Wildcats's exit was at the hands of No. 14 Oakland. Now Tennessee and Alabama are the last remaining SEC teams.

#2. Besties

Fellow SEC team, No. 7 Florida lost to No. 10 Colorado, 102-100 on Friday.

#1. In and out in a flash

The Tigers' wing Chad Baker-Mazara played just three minutes before being fouled out.

The Bulldogs take on San Diego in the second round, similar to Princeton last year. However, will Yale be able to take the win?
