Walter Clayton scored 34 points with five 3-pointers, giving Florida the Final Four win over SEC rival Auburn 79-73 in the Final Four on Saturday night. Chad Baker-Mazara, with his left hand partially wrapped because of a thumb issue, led Auburn with 18 points and four 3-pointers. Johni Broome finished with 15 points on 6-of-14 shooting and had seven rebounds, with only three points after halftime. Broome was hunched over even before the final buzzer, and then was surrounded by cameras to capture his reaction. He eventually stood up to shake hands, then walked off the court with his eyes red from crying, pulling up his jersey to wipe his face as cameras continued to follow his exit. Truly a historic season for this Auburn program. Vince Wolfram and Jojo Cavanagh are in San Antonio to cover this team, this game, and the season Auburn basketball just put a bow on.

Auburn advances to play Michigan State with a berth in the Final Four on the line. Johni Broome finished with 22 points and 16 rebounds, Tahaad Pettiford hit a couple of crazy shots while Broome and Chad Baker-Mazara were on the bench in foul trouble, and Denver Jones came up huge with three straight baskets midway through the second half, helping Auburn regain the lead and never look back. Auburn East represented in a major way in Atlanta, as were Vince Wolfram and Jojo Cavanagh.

In the second round of the 2025 NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament, the overall number one seed Auburn Tigers defeated the nine seed Creighton Bluejays 82-70. Tahaad Pettiford was the difference off the bench for Auburn, along with the “Night-Night” celebration and dagger from Denver Jones in the second half. Chad Baker-Mazara was absolutely a large proponent of the offense, with those three guys each scoring in double-figures. Auburn moves on to the second weekend of the tournament, the Sweet 16, for the first time since its final four run in 2019. The Tigers are set to face 5-seed Michigan, and Vince Wolfram and Jojo Cavanagh are here to break it all down!

The weekend in Nashville didn’t quite go as expected for many Auburn fans. Auburn, the No. 1 seed in the conference tournament, got bounced by the Tennessee Volunteers in the semifinals on Saturday. After a win over Ole Miss in a Johni Broome-led victory on Friday, the Tigers and Broome tried to rally on Saturday in a similar fashion but came up short. Vince Wolfram and Jojo Cavanagh discuss their thoughts on Auburn’s play right now and what has to take place for Auburn to make a deep run in March.

This week, Auburn Center Dylan Cardwell joins Vince Wolfram and Jojo Cavanagh on Straight Out The Jungle! Dylan reflects on his five years in Auburn, his highlights in the Jungle, and becoming the All-time Winningest player in Auburn basketball history.

Cardwell uncovered the origin of the “Jumbotron Man” and how Bruce Pearl worked his way into the moment. He also shares what IS Jumbotron Worthy and what is NOT! This was an awfully fun one, plus, you can’t spell “Aura” without “AU.”

No.1 Auburn traveled to College Station to play a prepared Buzz Williams and Texas A&M team and fell to the Aggies, 83-72. Auburn didn’t have the legs and A&M capitalized. The Aggies' preparation, scouting, and execution were elite—they outplayed the No. 1 team all night. Next for Auburn, the Iron Bowl of basketball on Saturday afternoon at Neville Arena against Alabama.
