What can you tell me aboyut tubby smiths auburn rumors?”
Tubby Smith said rumors linking him to the Auburn job were “just talk” shortly after Minnesota was eliminated from the NCAA tournament by Xavier this afternoon. “Well, obviously that’s just talk, because I’m very pleased with what we’ve accomplished here,” Smith said in the post-game press conference. “I’m pleased with where we are in the program. I’m looking forward to coming back to Minnesota.” A CBS Sportsline report early Friday said Smith was close to leaving Minnesota for Auburn. Other reports state that Smith is one of the Tigers’ primary targets to replace Jeff Lebo, who was fired a week ago.
