Good Morning, Auburn Family. Newly-minted SEC player of the year Johni Broome and his Tiger teammates returned to the Music City Wednesday, hoping to repeat as SEC Tournament champions.

Ranked No. 1 for two months before dropping to No. 3 this week after ending the regular season with two losses, Auburn won a historically loaded SEC this year after earning impressive nonconference victories on its way to amassing a 16-4 record in Quad-1 games, the most in the seven seasons of the NCAA Evaluation Tool (NET) era.

🗣 “The thing that gives me hope about this team is you’ve seen different guys throughout the year be able to step up and see another level. Another level is what you need in March.” - Bruce Pearl, head coach

A look at the Auburn MBB team's path to winning the 2025 SEC regular season championship.

🔼 A Spectacular Senior Send-Off. The No. 14 Auburn gymnastics team will close out the 2025 regular season tonight, hosting No. 2 and defending national champion LSU in Neville Arena at 7 p.m. CT on SEC Network+. The Tigers are looking to sellout Neville Arena once again as the team is approaching its 20th-straight sellout.

The Tigers will honor a big class of seniors following the meet. This group has been a part of the 2022 Final Four team, multiple NCAA regional meets and more.

🔼 Tough Tiger Tennis. The Auburn men’s tennis team earned a thrilling 4-3 victory over No. 18 Oklahoma and took down Belmont by a 4-1 score during a home doubleheader on Thursday. With the score tied at three against the Sooners, senior captain Will Nolan defeated No. 76 Oscar Lacides with the help of two tiebreaker wins to clinch the victory for the Tigers.

“We knew Oklahoma is an unbelievably good team, especially in the doubles,” Auburn head coach Bobby Reynolds said after the two wins. “Looking back now, our guys just came out and fought, and that's what our DNA is.”

First pitches are currently scheduled for today and tomorrow at 6 p.m. CT, while Sunday starts at 2 p.m. With Saturday's weather forecast, fans are encouraged to check AuburnTigers.com and social media for potential schedule changes.

🔼 Impressive Track Record. Auburn track and field travels to Virginia Beach, Virginia, to compete in the final meet of the indoor season, the 2025 NCAA Indoor Track & Field Championships, today and tomorrow (March 14-15).  

There are nine Tigers representing Auburn at the championships this year, the most since 2007, where the team sent 10 to Nationals. The Tigers’ six men mark the most individual qualifiers the team has had at the championships since 2007. The women sent three, marking the 24th consecutive year that an Auburn woman has competed in the event.

🔼 Rivalries On the Road. The No. 11 Auburn women’s tennis team travels to face rival No. 21 Alabama as well as Mississippi State on the road this weekend. Auburn and Alabama will play at 3 p.m. CT today in Tuscaloosa, while the Tigers will face Mississippi State at noon CT in Starkville on Sunday.

Last weekend, Auburn bounced back from a tight 4-3 loss to third-ranked Texas A&M on Friday night, defeating No. 9 Texas by a 4-3 score on Sunday. The Tigers are now 13-4 this season and 2-3 in SEC matches. Auburn sophomore Ava Esposito had a perfect weekend for the Tigers, winning both of her singles and doubles matches.

🔼 Irish You Were Here. No. 20 Auburn softball (20-5, 0-3 SEC) returns to the friendly confines of Jane B. Moore Field to host No. 5 Texas A&M (21-4, 1-2 SEC) in the Tigers’ SEC home opening series and St. Patrick’s Day celebration. The series begins tonight at 5 p.m. CT with Local Heroes Night.

🔼 Once a Tiger. We’re celebrating our 2015 Super Six team as we prepare for tonight’s Alumni Meet, and today’s spotlight is on Bri Guy!
