Bodda Getta Daily Brew 7/10: Malik Moseys Memory Lane

Malik Dunbar recalls "'bout that time" Auburn hoops won the regular season and then the tournament

Good Morning, Auburn Family. On the first stop of his recruiting visit to Auburn, Malik Dunbar remembers being ready to commit when he saw his highlights playing on the videoboard at Jordan-Hare Stadium.

“We didn’t even need to go to the courts to let me know what the gym looked like,” Dunbar said, laughing at the memory. “Y’all had me at the field.”

In Dunbar’s two seasons on the Plains, Auburn won the SEC regular season championship in 2018 and the SEC Tournament title in 2019.

“We put a lot of blood, sweat and tears in that year,” Dunbar said of Auburn’s 2017-18 season, before which one pundit predicted a 4-14 SEC record.

Read the feature on Dunbar, saying of his time at Auburn, “It’s a home. It’s for life.”
