🔼  Hallin’ In Boutwell. Keyshawn Hall scored 26 points, including 12 straight in overtime, but Oklahoma State came out on top, beating Auburn 97-95 in last night’s exhibition game. Despite a strong performance from Hall and a late comeback, Auburn fell short after Oklahoma State’s Jaylen Curry scored the game-winning layup with 10 seconds left. Auburn will play one more exhibition game before their season opener.

🔼 Battle Tested. Auburn kicker Alex McPherson is this week’s nominee for the 2025 Capital One Orange Bowl-FWAA Courage Award! He overcame Crohn’s disease and a major surgery to return to kicking for the Tigers. Despite significant weight loss and a stoma, McPherson has been perfect on field goals and extra points this season. The Courage Award, presented by the FWAA, recognizes players who display courage on or off the field.

🔼 Came Close. Auburn volleyball went toe-to-toe at No. 3 Kentucky, but ultimately fell in four sets. The Tigers recorded 16.5 blocks, led by Kate Mansfield with nine. Lauren Dreves and Bel Zimmerman recorded double digit kills.

🔼  Winding Down. The Tigers have just two home soccer matches remaining! One of those two will be played tonight when the Tigers host Oklahoma at 6:30 p.m. CT on SEC Network+. The Sooners come to Auburn with a 9-3-3 record after going undefeated in non-conference play. The first 250 fans will receive a Breast Cancer Awareness bucket hat!
