Good Morning, Auburn Family. Previewing No. 1 Auburn’s matchup with Oklahoma, head MBB coach Bruce Pearl brought ample ammunition to share with reporters.

“This is an outstanding offensive team,” Pearl said. “They’re No. 38 in the NET. They’re going to play hard on every possession and that’s a tribute to Porter Moser as a coach.”

After starting SEC play with four straight defeats, the Sooners have won three of their past four conference games, including a 30-point thrashing of Vanderbilt Saturday that knocked the Commodores out of the top 25. 

Seeking its 14th consecutive win, No. 1 Auburn (20-1, 8-0) hosts Oklahoma (16-5, 3-5) tonight at 8 p.m. CT at Neville Arena.

🎥 WAREAGLE+: TALKING TIGERS

Talking Tigers - Susan Nunnelly
It might be easier to come up with a list of what Susan Nunnelly hasn’t done at Auburn. The longtime director of intramurals on the Plains is a former head women’s basketball coach, PA Announcer, SEC Official, Director of Women’s Officials in the SEC, Camp War Eagle staple, head of umpires for Dixie League Baseball and Softball and so much more.

“The Nun,” as she’s come to be known, came to Auburn to be a member of the marching band. The Hueytown, Alabama, native stayed to play an integral role in many of our lives. Susan Nunnelly, aka The Nun, is featured in this Talking Tigers Podcast.

🔼 Broome in Bloom → Getting His Flowers. For the second week in a row, Auburn All-American forward/center Johni Broome (Plant City, Fla.) earned Southeastern Conference Player of the Week honors. Additionally, he was selected as the Jersey Mike’s Naismith Trophy Player of the Week.

Broome registered back-to-back 20-point and 10-rebound outings – his ninth and 10th of the season – against the Tigers and Rebels. He recorded a game-high 26 points, 16 rebounds and three blocked shots at LSU as well as 20 points, 12 rebounds, four assists and two blocked shots at Ole Miss.

🔼 Let’s Take Two. The Auburn men’s tennis team swept its home doubleheader at the Yarbrough Tennis Center on Sunday over Tulsa and Alabama State. Auburn downed both teams by 4-0 final scores. Freshman Joey Phillips was responsible for the clinching point in the Tigers’ win over Tulsa, while Nicholas Heng clinched the nightcap against Alabama State.

🔼 It’s a Jungle Out There. The hype around the Auburn MBB team is real and well-deserved, but with upcoming games against Oklahoma (tomorrow) and Florida (Saturday), keeping all those who hope to attend safe is a top priority. The mission is to provide a well-organized, and controlled queueing experience for students by establishing effective security measures, controlled ingress/egress, medical support, weather monitoring, and emergency response coordination while preserving the spirit of the event.
