About our Auburn Tigers Basketball news
Latest news on Auburn Tigers Basketball, covering Auburn men's and women's basketball, SEC competition, March Madness, and the latest from the Tigers.
Auburn Tigers basketball has emerged as a powerhouse programme in college basketball, with both men's and women's teams competing in the Southeastern Conference at Neville Arena, which opened in 2010 with a capacity of 9,121. The men's programme has won six SEC regular season championships and three tournament titles, while producing NBA talent including Hall of Famer Charles Barkley, whose statue stands outside the arena.
Steven Pearl took over as head coach in September 2025 following his father Bruce Pearl's retirement after 11 transformative seasons. Bruce Pearl led Auburn to unprecedented success, including the programme's only two Final Four appearances in 2019 and 2025, three SEC regular season championships, and becoming the winningest coach in Auburn history. The transition came months after the Tigers finished the 2024-25 season as SEC regular season champions with a 32-6 record and reached the national semifinals before falling to Florida.
The atmosphere at Neville Arena has become one of college basketball's most formidable, with "The Jungle" student section creating an intimidating environment that contributed to Auburn earning its first No. 1 national ranking in programme history. The 2019 Final Four run remains legendary, as Auburn became the first team to defeat Kansas, North Carolina, and Kentucky—college basketball's three winningest programmes—in succession during a single NCAA Tournament.
Auburn's basketball tradition stretches back to 1906, with the programme experiencing various eras of success before Bruce Pearl's arrival in 2014 sparked a renaissance. Charles Barkley led the Tigers to prominence in the 1980s, while more recently, stars like Johni Broome, who earned SEC Player of the Year honours in 2025, have carried the torch. The women's programme has also strengthened its competitive standing within the SEC.
