Auburn wasn't among the schools named in the latest bombshell report about the FBI's ongoing investigation into corruption in college basketball, but it is connected to the probe, as Florida fans reminded Tigers players Saturday.

Following Florida's 72-66 upset win over Auburn, Gators fans taunted the Tigers with chants of "FBI" while tossing money at them.

Former Auburn associate head basketball coach Chuck Person was fired in November after being indicted on federal charges of bribery, conspiracy, and fraud. Additionally, sophomores Austin Wiley and Danjel Purifoy were ruled ineligible for the remainder of the season due to their involvement in the investigation.
