## Resource

The SEC/ACC Challenge matchup is set, and Auburn will head to Clemson for one of its most intriguing non-conference tests of the season. In this episode of The Barn Hoops Podcast, we break down the Tigers' trip to Littlejohn Coliseum, why Clemson presents a unique challenge, and what this game tells us about Auburn's national perception entering Year 2 under Steven Pearl. We also dive into the biggest question surrounding Auburn basketball this season: just how important is Tahaad Pettiford? Finally, if Pettiford is the engine, who has to become the co-pilot?
