The Tigers basketball team has never made it beyond the Final Four in the history of the program. This marks only their second appearance at this stage, with the first being in 2019 under head coach Bruce Pearl, who has held this role since 2014.

Although Auburn has made it to the last four NCAA Tournaments, they have failed to go beyond the second round.

It has been a great year for the program, which won its sixth regular season title (15-3) in what was a tough SEC year that the conference sent a record 14 teams to March Madness. It is the third regular-season title under coach Pearl.

The Tigers are also 32-5 in this campaign, setting a new program record, breaking the 30 wins that were also set under Pearl in 2019.

The program’s success this season has been driven by senior-year power forward/center Johni Broome. The 22-year-old, who was named the Sporting News player of the year, leads the team in points per game (18.7), rebounds (10.9) and blocks (2.1).

What time is the Auburn vs Florida Final Four clash?
