The Auburn Tigers are lighting up college basketball—and they’re not done yet. With a red-hot 32–6 record and a trip to the Final Four locked in, Auburn has stormed through the 2024–25 season like a team on a mission. Guided by veteran head coach Bruce Pearl, now in his 11th year at the helm, the Tigers have not only dominated their opponents but also etched their place in school history.
Pearl hit a historic milestone this season, becoming Auburn’s all-time winningest coach with his 214th victory—a thrilling road win over Texas on January 7. That victory was just one highlight in a season filled with them. Auburn took home the SEC regular-season crown and captured the prestigious Maui Invitational title, making a bold statement to the rest of the nation.
This incredible run comes on the heels of last season’s promising but ultimately disappointing finish. Despite a strong 27–8 record and a championship win in the SEC Tournament, the Tigers’ NCAA tournament hopes were cut short in a shocking first-round upset by Yale. This year, they’ve come back with vengeance, grit, and purpose.
One of the driving forces behind this resurgence is star forward Johni Broome, who has played a pivotal role on both ends of the court. Broome, who recently recovered from a minor elbow injury, is expected to be back at full strength just in time for the Tigers’ high-stakes Final Four clash against Florida.
Auburn’s depth, defense, and discipline have made them one of the most feared teams in the country. Whether it’s knocking down clutch threes or locking up opponents in the paint, the Tigers have shown they can win in multiple ways. Their journey from heartbreak to heroics has energized fans and silenced doubters.
Now, with a championship in sight and momentum fully on their side, the Auburn Tigers are just two wins away from college basketball glory. If they keep up this level of dominance, don’t be surprised if they’re cutting down the nets in April. Auburn is not just Final Four bound—they’re chasing history.
