Auburn is coming off its best men’s basketball season ever, having advanced to the Final Four for the first time in school history.

Now, as they prepare to start the 2019-20 season, the Tigers are building excitement in a unique and fun way.

As you can see below, Auburn built half a basketball court in Toomer’s Corner, which drew a lot of interest:
