🐅 And much, much more!

🔼 Stock is Rising 📈. New Auburn WBB head coach Larry Vickers has been named the Kay Yow Coach of the Year. The Kay Yow Award is presented to the top head coach in D-I women’s basketball who embodies a winning spirit while displaying great character, on and off the court.

For the 2024-25 season at Norfolk State, Vickers lead the Spartans to a program-record 30 wins, a perfect conference record and the MEAC regular-season and tournament titles. The Spartans entered the NCAA Tournament on a 19-game winning streak, and finished the season ranked No. 4 in the CollegeInsider.com Mid-Major Top 25.

🔼 The Numbers Are On Our Side. No. 14 Auburn returned to Plainsman Park for the first of four games this week and fell 4-2 to UAB Tuesday night. Marking the team’s first home game since March 18, the game was played in front of 5,094 fans, the second largest midweek crowd in program history.

🗣 : “It was a beautiful night, great crowd, but I thought that was the most lifeless offensive performance that we’ve had. The thing about baseball is we have three more games this week. We get to get right back out there.” - Butch Thompson, head coach

🔼 Amateur Hour … But in a Good Way. Auburn’s Anna Davis and Casey Weidenfeld are set to compete in the sixth annual Augusta National Women’s Amateur, which will take place today through Saturday at Champions Retreat Golf Club in Evans, Georgia, and historic Augusta National Golf Club in Augusta, Georgia. This will be the fourth appearance in the event for Davis and the second for Weidenfeld.

🧐 TRIVIA ANSWER

Answer: One!

MBB head coach Bruce Pearl (2025) joins Cliff Ellis (1999) as the only two coaches in program history to earn national coach of the year honors from either the NABC or national media outlet. He was previously named Sporting News Coach of the Year during his time at Tennessee in 2006.

The four-time SEC Coach of the Year is one of eight league head coaches to take a school to two-or-more NCAA Final Fours behind Adolph Rupp (6), Billy Donovan (4), John Calipari (4), Joe B. Hall (3), Rick Pitino (3), Nolan Richardson (2) and Dale Brown (2).

🐅 Happy Final Four Week, Auburn Fam!
