At halftime of Wednesday night's game, Gus Malzahn and the Auburn football team took the court to receive the ODK, James Foy Sportsmanship Trophy, their spoils for defeating number one Alabama to cap off their regular season. This was Bruce Pearl's last chance to match Malzahn's achievement. Earlier this season, Alabama hosted an Auburn team that was undefeated in conference play. Without star point guard Collin Sexton, the Crimson Tide handed Auburn their first SEC loss of t

South Carolina appeared to be a team giving up on their season. The Gamecocks entered their matchup with Auburn having lost their last six games, and sitting at just 4-9 in the SEC. Auburn on the other hand, was at the top of the conference, having just completed a great win at home against the Kentucky Wildcats. And while this game originally looked to favor the Tigers, Auburn left Columbia with a 84-75 loss and one of the best players out for the year. South Carolina jumped

Sometimes shooters run cold. That was certainly the case early last night. Auburn entered their matchup against Kentucky as the conference's hottest shooting team. But against the Wildcats, Auburn began the game 1-of-16 from the floor. But the same shooters that ran cold found their rhythm and ignited Auburn down the stretch, eventually securing a 76-66 victory, Auburn's 11th conference win and 23rd on the year. Bryce Brown returned from his shoulder injury and played a massi

Just before tipoff on Saturday, Auburn confirmed what many expected. Bryce Brown would be out with the shoulder injury that sidelined him against Texas A&M. With Auburn's leading scorer out, Bruce Pearl needed some of his other veterans to step up and get Auburn a crucial road win. As has been the case all year, Pearl's squad answered his call and Auburn left Athens with a 78-61 victory and their first season sweep of the Bulldogs since 1986. In Auburn's loss to Texas A&M, th

Down by 17 in the second half and without leading scorer Bryce Brown, Auburn was still able to battle their way back to force a tie game with seconds left. A questionable foul call handed Texas A&M's Duane Wilson a chance to give the Aggies a lead from the free throw line and he took advantage. Mustapha Heron's last second heave was barely off the mark, giving Auburn their first home loss of the season, falling to Texas A&M 81-80. Entering the game, analysts expected this to

Since the 2010 opening of Auburn Arena, Vanderbilt has seen it as a kind of home away from home. The Commodores defeated Auburn eight times in eight games in the new arena. Auburn's losing streak stretches back into the Beard-Eaves days, where Vandy took the last five games held there as well. In total, Vanderbilt had defeated Auburn 13 straight times headed into Saturday's game. But this season has been filled with the ending of streaks. Even for one of the best shooting tea

Gus Malzahn is in the process of wrapping up his sixth top-ten class since he arrived at Auburn at 2013, a feat unmatched by any previous head coach. The new "early signing period" that took place in late December of 2017 has taken some of the excitement and tension out of this February, a time period usually dominated by recruiting news. Of Auburn's 23 commits to the 2018 class, 15 of them signed their letters of intent during the early signing period, officially locking the
