In this episode of The Barn Hoops Podcast, we break down Auburn Basketball’s disappointing loss to Michigan in the Players Era Championship—a game that slipped away almost from the opening tip. 

We start by unpacking Auburn’s sluggish and unfocused beginning, where early turnovers and poor shot selection set a frustrating tone the team never fully shook. From there, we dive into the defensive rebounding issues that repeatedly gave Michigan second-chance opportunities, swinging momentum and wearing down Auburn’s defense possession after possession. Offensively, the Tigers struggled to find any rhythm, with stalled ball movement and missed open looks preventing them from ever mounting a real run. 

We discuss what went wrong, which concerns are most pressing moving forward, and what adjustments Auburn must make to avoid similar performances. It’s a candid, level-headed look at a tough night for the Tigers—and what this game reveals about the road ahead.
