What to Know
We’ve got another exciting SEC matchup on schedule as the Auburn Tigers and the Texas Longhorns are set to tip at 9:00 p.m. ET on Tuesday at Moody Center. The Tigers know how to get points on the board — the squad has finished with 82 points or more in their past six contests — so hopefully the Longhorns like a good challenge.
On Saturday, Auburn strolled past Missouri with points to spare, taking the game 84-68.
It was another big night for Johni Broome, who went 9 for 13 en route to 24 points plus seven rebounds and four blocks. The team also got some help courtesy of Chad Baker-Mazara, who earned 13 points plus three steals.
Meanwhile, Texas unfortunately witnessed the end of their four-game winning streak on Saturday. 2025 welcomed they with an 80-60 beatdown courtesy of Texas A&M. The matchup marked the Longhorns’ lowest-scoring game so far this season.
The loss doesn’t tell the whole story though, as several players had good games. One of the most active was Arthur Kaluma, who scored 13 points plus seven rebounds and three steals. His performance made up for a slower match against Northwestern State on Sunday. Less helpful for Texas was Tre Johnson’s abysmal 0-5 three-point shooting.
Texas struggled to get the ball back on offense and finished the game with only five offensive rebounds. That’s the fewest offensive rebounds they’ve posted since back in March of 2024.
Auburn’s victory was their ninth straight at home dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 13-1. As for Texas, their defeat dropped their record down to 11-3.
Tuesday’s contest is shaping up to be a masterclass in shooting: Auburn has been dynamite from deep this season, having nailed 37.7% of their threes per game. However, it’s not like Texas struggles in that department as they’ve made 40.4% of their threes this season. Given these competing strengths, it’ll be interesting to see how their clash plays out.
