All about the D: Final Four teams have been locked in on defense all season

  • On March 30, 2025, Auburn defeated Michigan State 70-64 to secure a spot in the Final Four, joining Duke, Houston, and Florida, marking the first time since 2008 that all No. 1 seeds comprise the Final Four.
  • Auburn's journey to the Final Four, their second in program history, was fueled by a dominant 17-0 run in the first half against Michigan State and a strong overall performance throughout the NCAA tournament where they won their first three games by double digits.
  • Johni Broome, the Associated Press SEC player of the year and first-team All-America selection, led Auburn with 25 points and 14 rebounds, despite briefly leaving the game in the second half after falling on his right arm while attempting to block a shot.
  • Broome, after returning to the game following his injury, said "I went down but my team had my back," and he contributed a key 3-pointer after returning to the court, boosting Auburn's momentum.
  • Auburn will now face fellow Southeastern Conference team Florida in the Final Four in San Antonio on April 5, continuing a tournament where higher-seeded teams have dominated, reaching the Final Four for the first time since the tournament expanded in 1985.
