Auburn managed to shoot a high percentage and build a 10 point halftime lead against #1 seed Houston, but all the shooting percentages went south in the second half as Houston used its elite defense and great free throw shooting to eliminate their deficit and pull away late. Johni Broome and Jaylin Williams led the way with 14 points each, but both missed more shots than usual and left points on t...

Auburn relied on their half court defense and some timely 3 point shooting in the second half to control their first round matchup against Iowa in Birmingham. Johni Broome was our MVP with 19 points and 12 rebounds, while Wendell Green Jr took care of the ball and was perfect at the free throw line to finish the game. Tre Donaldson and KD Johnson were terrific off the bench, and Allen Flanigan had...

The Auburn Tigers have made The Big Dance for the fifth time in six seasons, and were selected to play as a 9 seed in the Midwest Region.

Jackson, Matt, and Ben break down the tournament draw and preview the Hawkeyes, as well as take a quick look back at Auburn's tough loss to Arkansas in the SEC Tournament. 

Auburn finally got a signature win with a victory over Tennessee on Senior Day in Neville Arena. They held the Volunteers without a field goal for the last 6 minutes of the game in route to a 79-70 win. Wendell Green Jr had a game-high 24 points and Johni Broome had 17 points and 7 rebounds, but the real story was the performance of the Auburn seniors. Jaylin Williams had 13 points, 7 rebounds and...

Another game, another brutal close loss against a quality opponent. Auburn led for the first 35 minutes of the game against #2 Alabama, but let a 17 point second half lead slip away. The Tigers were able to force overtime, but eventually Johni Broome, Jaylin Williams, and Allen Flanigan all fouled out. KD Johnson led the team with 21 points off the bench. Auburn continues to fight hard, but wins i...

Auburn kept it close against Kentucky until late in the first half, but eventually got blown out in Rupp Arena yet again in a 86-54 loss. The pod starts with an interview with Jonathan Guidry (0:40), who works with a company whose majority owner is Charles Barkley - Redmont Vodka! The game recap begins around the 20:00 mark.

The Auburn Family showed up and showed out in Nashville, but the 20 free throw attempts for Vanderbilt center Liam Robbins was a little too much to overcome. The Tigers had their chances to stretch out a small second half lead, but ended up in another close battle that will end up in the loss column. After a huge KD Johnson 3 pointer to tie the game with 10 seconds left, Vanderbilt hit a shot goin...

Former Tiger basketball team captain and current student assistant Bryant Smith joins the podcast to discuss his time at Auburn and his role with this year's team. Enjoy the interview! 

After losing 5 out of 6 games, Auburn desperately needed a win against a quality Missouri team and they delivered their best performance of the season. They started on a 19-2 run and never looked back. The Tigers played terrific defense against one of the nation's top offenses, and shared the ball well on offense leading to a ton of made shots. Johni Broome put up another double-double with 20 poi...

Cinmeon Bowers joined the podcast at the start (00:41) to talk about his Auburn career and much much more. Our traditional game recap for the Alabama game begins at 28:50 if you want to skip ahead. The Tigers executed a game plan to limit Alabama's 3 point barrage, but still came up short as the offense faltered late. Wendell Green Jr scored a game-high 24 points. Auburn hosts Missouri on Tuesday...

Auburn had another opportunity to add a Quad 1 win to their NCAA tournament resume, but it slipped through their fingers in a close loss in College Station. The Aggies scored 22 more points than Auburn at the free throw line, and foul trouble for Johni Broome and Dylan Cardwell played a big role down the stretch. Despite all of that, Auburn shot the ball well on the road and had a lead in the seco...

Two of the nation's top defenses squared off in Knoxville and the game between Auburn and Tennessee really reflected that. Both teams shot poorly from the field and from the three point line, and every rebound and possession were hotly contested. Auburn took an early lead before trailing by 4 at halftime. They went down by 8 a couple times, but clawed back to have multiple possessions at the end o...

Auburn got a much-needed bounce-back victory over rival Georgia 94-73 on Wednesday. Allen Flanigan led the way with 22 points, while Johni Broome had 19 points and 18 rebounds in only 22 minutes! He was dominant inside. The Tigers only had 5 turnovers in the entire game, shot the ball well, and won the rebounding battle as well. Auburn (17-5, 7-2 SEC) now gets ready for their brutal second half of...

Auburn dug itself another large 16 point halftime deficit, but erased it as the final four minutes arrived. The fight shown by the Tigers was impressive, but they still lost against West Virginia 80-77 in the SEC/Big 12 Challenge. Jaylin Williams led the way with 18 points while Johni Broome, Allen Flanigan, and KD Johnson all scored in double figures. But Erik Stevenson's 31 points proved to be t...

After a 10-2 start, Auburn struggled to score consistently and the Texas A&M Aggies were better on both ends of the floor on their way to a 79-63 win in Neville Arena. Johni Broome and Wendell Green Jr had 16 points each, but the Tigers were out-rebounded, lost the turnover battle, and couldn't contain Tyrese Radford (30 points, 9 rebounds). The nation's longest home winning streak has come to...

Auburn got another wire-to-wire road victory against the South Carolina Gamecocks to move to 16-3 (6-1 SEC) on Saturday. Johni Broome led the Tigers in scoring and rebounding with 27 and 11, but our MVP was Wendell Green Jr. He was masterful in the half court and in the open court, earning his own double-double with 16 points and 12 assists. Jaylin Williams and Allen Flanigan also had really nice...

Auburn recorded their largest margin of victory in Baton Rogue in program history with their 67-49 win on Wednesday night. Behind 14 points from Wendell Green Jr and Jaylin Williams, the offense was more than good enough to support a suffocating defensive effort. The Auburn defense held LSU to 29% shooting, the lowest against an SEC opponent in 12 years. Lior Berman and Allen Flanigan added 8 poin...

Jaylin Williams led the Tigers to a third straight SEC win with 21 points (5 three pointers) and 7 rebounds. Auburn built an early double digit lead and held on to that the rest of the way, despite letting Mississippi State hang around late in the second half. Wendell Green Jr scored 11 of the last 12 points to close the game, and Allen Flanigan had his fourth straight double digit scoring game wi...

Auburn got their biggest win of the season so far with a huge 72-59 win over the #13 Arkansas Razorbacks. The Tigers never trailed in the entire game. It was a great bounce back after the Georgia loss, and Auburn's defense (with the help of a unique zone strategy) was a huge key to the win. Wendell Green Jr scored the first 7 points of the game for Auburn and led the way with 19 points and 5 assis...

It was a frustrating evening in Athens, Georgia for Auburn's basketball team. They went down 11 points early, then clawed back to tie the game only to trail by 7 points at halftime. The Tigers shot the ball poorly struggling offensively most of the night and never got any closer than four points. Johni Broome had 22 points and 12 rebounds and Allen Flanigan scored 11 points but Georgia did a great...
