Good Morning, Auburn Family. After winning the SEC regular season championship and advancing to the Final Four last season, Auburn men’s basketball will tune up for the 2025-26 season with a preseason game against Oklahoma State Oct. 15 at 7 p.m. CT in Birmingham’s Boutwell Auditorium.

This October will be the first time the Auburn men’s basketball team takes the court as a Nike school with new Nike jerseys and equipment.

Under head coach Bruce Pearl, Auburn has played five games in Birmingham, most recently last season’s 87-69 win over No. 15 Purdue at Legacy Arena.

Ballin in Boutwell will feature both men's and women's games, and showcase four in-state programs, including Auburn, Alabama, Samford, and Alabama A&M.

🔼 Eye On Our Guy. Fresh off a career-best showing at last week’s John Deere Classic, Auburn men’s golf rising junior Jackson Koivun looks to keep the positive momentum going with another PGA Tour start at the ISCO Championship this weekend in Louisville, Kentucky.

Other Tigers teeing it up this weekend include Patton Kizzire (2008) and Jason Dufner (2000). Dufner tees off first, at 7:02 a.m. CT, while Kizzire goes off next at 11:43 a.m. CT, followed by Koivun at 12:49 p.m. CT.

At the John Deere Classic last weekend, Koivun shot 15-under to finish just outside the top 10 and three shots back of the winning score.

🐅 ONE BIG THING

Say “Threes!” A trio of juniors, defensive lineman Keldric Faulk, center Connor Lew and quarterback Jackson Arnold, will represent Auburn Tuesday at SEC Media Days in Atlanta.

A three-year starter at defensive end, Faulk has totaled 81 career tackles, eight sacks and 14.5 tackles for loss in his first two seasons. Lew also earned a starting position as a freshman at center in 2023. Arnold returns to SEC Media Days for the second straight year after representing Oklahoma last year as a sophomore.

🧐 TRIVIA ANSWER

Answer: 2002!

Read our feature on Courtney Trimble, who helped lead the Auburn women’s golf team to the program’s best postseason finish as national runner-up at the 2002 NCAA Championship.

The Suwanee, Georgia, native was a three-time second-team All-SEC selection, won 11 individual tournament titles and played in every team tournament during her time at Auburn. During her senior season, she finished with nine top-10s.

Trimble has since become the WGCA CEO.

🐅 Have an awesome weekend, Auburn Fam!
