The Auburn Tigers are gearing up for the NCAA Tournament Final Four as the program’s social media account gave fans a peek into the preparation for the weekend’s showdown. In an X post on Tuesday, Auburn Basketball teased fans with a video showing the stitching and creation of the Under Armour special edition jersey ahead of the matchup against the Florida Gators on Saturday.
The Tigers take their four-game winning streak and face off against the Gators, who are on a 10-game winning streak, for a spot in the Final of the 2025 NCAA Tournament.

Auburn’s Johni Broome injury update ahead of Final Four matchup against Florida
No. 1 seed Auburn Tigers secured a 70-64 victory against Michigan State in the Elite Eight on Sunday, which ensured their first Final Four appearance since 2019. During the matchup, Broome suffered injuries to his left leg and right elbow, which led to speculations about his availability for Saturday’s matchup against No. 1 seed Florida.
Despite the injuries, Broome still returned to the court and finished the game. Auburn coach Bruce Pearl gave an update on Monday that Broome was expected to be in the starting lineup for the Tigers’ Final Four appearance.
Broome put up an impressive 25 points from 10-of-13 shooting, 14 rebounds, two assists, one steal, and a block in 29 minutes of play.
On Monday, "The Field of 68"’s Jeff Goodman posted on X that Broome’s injury was a hyperextended right elbow, but the report confirmed that Broome was expected to play in Saturday’s Final Four matchup.
Coach Pearl highlighted Broome’s condition, explaining that while he was sore earlier in the week, he remained confident the star forward would be ready for Florida.
With Broome expected to play, Auburn’s hopes for a national championship remain alive as they prepare for a high-stakes battle against Florida. The matchup will see Auburn aim for victory against a Florida side that previously defeated the Tigers 90-81 on Feb.8.
