Coming off a historic SEC regular season title campaign last season, Auburn hopes to carry the momentum into this year with an almost entirely new roster.

The only returnee from Tigers 2024-25 Final Four team is guard Tahaad Pettiford, who elected to return for his sophomore season after testing the NBA Draft waters this summer.

After guard/forward Chad Baker-Mazara, forward Jahki Howard and forward Addarin Scott all entered the transfer portal over the offseason the only other players who were eligible to return Bruce Pearl and company were left with a virtually empty locker room.

In addition to high schools signees Kaden Magwood, shooting guard Simon Walker and forward Sebastian Williams-Adams, the Tigers went out and secured pledges from former UCF forward Keyshawn Hall, Mississippi State big man KeShawn Murphy, Texas Tech guard Kevin Overton and Lincoln Memorial guard Elyjah Freeman through the transfer portal .

Auburn also brought in sharp-shooter Abdul Bashir and center Emeka Opurum through the JUCO ranks, along with Serbian forward Filip Jovic.

The Tigers SEC slate will succeed another historically tough non-conference schedule, which already includes dates with Houston in Birmingham, Ala., Purdue in Indianapolis, NC State in the SEC/ACC challenge, and Oregon and Michigan in Las Vegas at the Players Era Festival .

Auburn will also host Wofford, Merrimack and Queens at scattered points throughout the nonconference slate..
