The 2024-25 college basketball season has concluded, but there is one more USA TODAY Coaches Poll to be released. Where did the Auburn Tigers fall in the final poll? Auburn stays at No. 4 after their Final Four appearance that resulted in a 79-73 loss to the eventual National Champions the Florida Gators. Ahead of the Tigers are the Florida Gators (No.1), the Houston Cougars (No.2), and the Duke Blue Devils (No.3).
It was a historic season for the Auburn Tigers where they spent several weeks as the No.1 team in college basketball with more Quad 1 wins than any other team in the country. Auburn ended the season with a 32-6 record as the winningest team in program history. Despite being in a tough SEC that placed 14 teams in the NCAA Tournament, the Tigers clinched the SEC Regular Season Championship with two games remaining on the schedule.
This team was loaded with seniors and veterans led by SEC Player of the Year Johni Broome, five-year player Dylan Cardwell, and defensive specialist Denver Jones. Those are just to name a few. Auburn will look different for the 2025-26 season but hope to have some contributors back. Chad Baker-Mazara has teased a return, and Chaney Johnson could still have some eligibility. A big boost for next season will be if freshman guard Tahaad Pettiford returns. He did declare for the NBA Draft but is keeping his NCAA eligibility.
The SEC finished with eight teams in the final USA TODAY Coaches Poll. Behind Auburn is Tennessee (No.5), Alabama (No.6), Kentucky (No.14), Ole Miss (No.18), Texas A&M (No. 19), and Arkansas (No.25). The Missouri Tigers dropped out of the rankings. It was not just a historic season for Auburn, but the conference as a whole with 14 teams making the NCAA Tournament.
