The SEC released its preseason media poll for basketball on Thursday, with Auburn projected to finish seventh in the SEC.
Last season saw Auburn finish with an overall record of 25-6 and a 12-6 conference record. The Tigers finished tied for second in the SEC last season with LSU, while Kentucky finished first.
Thursday also saw the media's preseason All-SEC first and second teams released, but the Tigers had no players on either team.
