In this episode of The Barn Hoops Podcast, we break down Auburn Basketball’s convincing win over Jackson State, a game highlighted by noticeable growth and a few breakout moments. Auburn settled into a consistent free throw routine, and an efficient, well-spaced second-half offense helped the Tigers pull away with confidence. We also dive into the electric debut of Simon Walker, whose athleticism and shot-making gave fans a thrilling first look at what he can bring to this year’s rotation. 

From there, we shift to Tahaad Pettiford’s first five games and explain why Auburn fans should stay calm—his decision-making, defensive effort, and history all point toward long-term success despite modest early box-score numbers. 

Finally, we preview Auburn’s upcoming appearance in the Players Era Championship, examining potential matchups, stylistic challenges, and what the Tigers need to sharpen as the competition level rises.
