Good Morning, Auburn Family. Marching toward a championship, No. 1 Auburn erased decades of big blue disappointment, defeating No. 17 Kentucky 94-78 Saturday, the Tigers’ first win at Rupp Arena since 1988. 

“To win the SEC in Rupp Arena is historic, it’s significant,” said head coach Bruce Pearl.

Miles Kelly made nine 3-pointers and led Auburn with 30 points, helping the Tigers clinch a share of the SEC title while improving to 8-0 in SEC road games. Hours later, when No. 5 Tennessee defeated No. 6 Alabama, the Tigers claimed the crown outright with two games still to play. 

What else have we mixed into today’s steaming hot Brew? Check it out below!

Auburn Access: Men's Hoops wins at Rupp Arena and clinches SEC.

🔼 Home Field Advantage Activated. A three-run first inning and a strong relief effort by SJ Geurin led No. 19 Auburn to a 4-3 win over Louisiana on Sunday at Jane B. Moore Field as the Tigers went undefeated at the Jane B. Moore Memorial.

With the win, the Tigers also remain unbeaten at home and improved their overall record to 19-1 heading into the final nonconference contest before the start of SEC play.

🥎 : FULL RUNDOWN 

🔼 Let’s Tap That Broom Closet 🧹. No. 25 Auburn finished off a sweep of the Amegy Bank College Baseball Series with a 7-4 win against Baylor Sunday evening at Globe Life Field.

The win was Auburn’s 10th straight, marking the team’s longest winning streak since winning 15 in a row at the beginning of the 2019 season. It also marked just the third time in the last 14 seasons the Tigers have swept three games against power conference opponents away from home.  

🔼 Seniors Shine But Fall Short Of the Dub. In their Neville Arena finales, DeYona Gaston scored 33 points and Mar’Shaun Bostic posted a Senior Day double-double, but Mississippi State took control in the second half and defeated Auburn 73-66 Sunday at Neville Arena.

Bostic flirted with a triple-double, totaling 13 points, a career-high 10 rebounds and eight assists. In her fifth 30-point game of the season, Gaston was 13-for-23 from the field and 7 of 8 from the free-throw line. 

🔼 Par For Their Course. No. 2 Auburn men's golf holds an early lead following Sunday's opening round of the Southern Highlands Collegiate, as the Tigers were the lone squad to shoot below par on the day, firing a team round of 1-under 287. Host UNLV sits three shots back at 2-over 290. 

Sophomore Josiah Gilbert continued his hot streak with a 2-under 70. He sits in second, individually. A crafty 71 (-1) saw senior Carson Bacha end Sunday's action in a tie for fourth place. 

🔼 This Crew Does NOT Horse Around. The No. 1 Auburn equestrian team capped another successful home schedule Saturday with an 11-8 win over rival and No. 7 Georgia. The Tigers (10-1, 4-1 SEC) honored eight student-athletes participating in their final home meet of the year.

The crew finished their career with a 26-1 home record over five seasons and have won the SEC title every season in their careers so far.

🔼 Trailblazing Tigers. Auburn senior Makanakaishe Charamba and sophomore Ja’Kobe Tharp won SEC individual championships Saturday on the final day of the SEC Indoor Track & Field Championships. Charamba won the men’s 200m shortly after Tharp claimed gold in the 60m hurdles as both set meet, facility and school records in the process. Charamba’s time was the fastest indoor 200m in the world this year.

The two SEC championships for the men marked the first time since 2008 that the Tigers had won multiple indoor titles and the first time in 25 years that Auburn’s men won two sprints SEC titles in the same season.

🔼 Aquatic Prowess in Action. Freshman Julia Strojnowska became the ninth-fastest performer in school history in the 200 free at the Last Chance Invite on Saturday inside the James E. Martin Aquatics Center. She now owns top 10 times in the 200 free, 500 free and 1000 free. 

The women’s NCAA Championships qualifying selections will be announced on Wednesday, March 5, while the men are slated to be announced on Wednesday, March 12. Head diving coach John Fox and his crew will work towards spots at NCAAs at the Zone B Diving Championships, hosted on the Plains March 9-12. 

🔼 Carolina, Not Just in Their Minds. No. 20 Women’s golf is set to play in the Darius Rucker Intercollegiate today through Wednesday in Hilton Head, South Carolina—the team’s 12^th appearance in the event.

This is considered one of the most prestigious regular season tournaments in women’s college golf, and this season’s event features 11 teams inside the SCOREBOARD top-25.

The Tigers will have a new player at the top of their lineup, freshman Balma Dávalos, who has finished in the top 15 individually in each of the team’s last two events.
