Justin and Painter put a bow on the 2022-23 Auburn basketball season. They start by looking back at the Tigers’ second-round NCAA Tournament exit at the hands of No. 1 Houston — and why the loss felt very representative of the campaign as a whole for Bruce Pearl’s squad.

Then the guys take a big-picture look at the Auburn program and where it could be headed in relation to the rest of the SEC. They talk about what might be coming in terms of roster reconstruction and how Pearl sent a clear message with his postgame press conference Saturday night.

We’ll talk spring football in the premium podcast later this week. Subscribers will get Observations from the latest practice viewing window on Monday evening.
