  "account": "Auburn's only representative on this year's preseason All-SEC teams was third-year guard Tahaad Pettiford, who earned a spot on the third team. The Tigers were projected to finish ninth in the conference standings, trailing Florida, Texas, Arkansas, Tennessee, Alabama, Vanderbilt, Kentucky, and Missouri. Following a disappointing NIT title run during his first year as head coach, Auburn's Steven Pearl announced that Pettiford would return to the team, rather than transferring. This season, Auburn aims to improve upon their 22-17 record from last year, which kept them out of the NCAA Tournament for the first time in five years. The preseason All-SEC teams were confirmed on Monday, October 12th.",
