🔼 Schooling the Rest. Auburn Athletics equaled its highest Graduation Success Rate (GSR) in program history, matching last year’s 94 percent rate. Auburn’s 94 percent GSR ranks tied for third in the Southeastern Conference. Division I student-athletes are graduating at record rates. The overall single-cohort rate increased by one point to 91 percent, the highest rate recorded.

🗣“We commend these Auburn student-athletes for their discipline and tenacity, in the classroom and in competition.” - John Cohen, Athletics Director

🔼 A Tale of Two Halves. Though the Tigers routed Pittsburgh 82-50 Friday afternoon in the Paradise Jam tournament, the final game had a more unfortunate outcome. Three Tigers scored in double figures, but Auburn could not hold a 12-point halftime lead in a 61-60 loss to Kansas Saturday afternoon in their final game of the Paradise Jam.

Auburn closes its six-game road swing Thursday in Charlottesville, Virginia, where the Tigers will take on Virginia in the SEC/ACC Challenge, with tipoff at 5 p.m. CT.

🔼 Signing Day Strategy. Auburn forced four turnovers but couldn’t capitalize with touchdowns, falling to No. 13 Alabama 28-14 in the 89th Iron Bowl Saturday. 

The Auburn football team (5-7, 2-6) concludes the season, turning its attention to Wednesday’s National Signing Day.  

🗣 “We’ve got one top-10 class, and hopefully, we can land another. We have to go back and try to finish it, then see what we need in the portal to try to make sure we’re not feeling this way next year.” - Hugh Freeze, head coach

🔼 Until Next Season. Madison Scheer led the offensive effort for Auburn, reaching double figures in kills (12) for the 23rd time this season, but it wasn’t quite enough as the Tigers dropped their regular-season finale to No. 24 Missouri, 3-0 (25-18, 25-19, 25-16).

🗣 “Regardless of what our record says, this team has been the best iteration of Auburn Volleyball in program history. The SEC is the best that it’s ever been. That’s a good thing for our league and ultimately a good thing for us going forward.” - Brent Crouch, head coach

🤔 TIGER TRIVIA
