How about them Lady Tigers?

The Auburn women’s basketball team is suddenly the talk of the school. More than 12,000 fans jammed into Beard-Eaves-Memorial Coliseum on Sunday to watch the unbeaten Tigers whip the much-respected Lady Vols of Tennessee.
It was the biggest crowd to watch a basketball game - men or women - since the Coliseum was downsized a number of years ago, and the biggest crowd in Auburn women’s basketball history.
Win and they will come, whether it’s men or women playing the sport.
Remember when Auburn men’s basketball was the hot ticket during the Chris Porter slamming days?
Now it’s the women who have taken center stage.
It will be interesting to see what the coming weeks bring.
For those players wearing the orange and blue, it’s got to be a lot of fun.
The fans are obviously having a lot of fun, too.
