In this episode of The Barn Hoops Podcast, we delve into the Tigers' potential 2025–26 non-conference schedule and the pivotal decision facing star guard Tahaad Pettiford. Auburn's upcoming season is shaping up to be a challenging one, with anticipated matchups against top-tier programs like Arizona, Houston, and Purdue. These games promise to test the Tigers' mettle and provide fans with thrilling basketball action, but who else will the Tigers be matched up with prior to SEC action?

Off the court, the spotlight is on Pettiford, who has declared for the 2025 NBA Draft while preserving his NCAA eligibility. The SEC All-Freshman selection averaged 11.6 points and 3.0 assists per game last season, playing a crucial role in Auburn's Final Four run. With the NBA Draft deadline approaching on May 28, we consider where Pettiford ranks in mock drafts and the role he would have at Auburn next season.

Join us as we analyze these developments and what they mean for Auburn's future.
