Auburn wrapped up an 84-73 win over Oregon and an 85-74 victory over then-No. 14 St. John’s, sandwiched around a 102-72 drubbing from then-No. 7 Michigan in Las Vegas last week. The Tigers erupted for 55 second-half points to beat the Red Storm on November 26, shooting 64.0% after the break.
Sophomore Tahaad Pettiford led the charge with 27 points and three steals, UCF transfer Keyshawn Hall contributed 20 points and eight rebounds, and Texas Tech transfer Kevin Overton finished with 12 points and five assists. Auburn is in its first season under coach Steven Pearl after going 32-6 with a Final Four loss to Florida in 2024-25.
NC State lost the fifth-place game in Maui 102-97 to Texas on November 26 after falling to Seton Hall 85-74 in its opener and beating Boise State 81-70 in the consolation semifinals. Against the Longhorns, the Wolfpack battled back from a double-digit halftime deficit and took a 71-70 lead with 7:51 remaining before Texas responded with a 10-0 run to secure the win.
McNeese transfer Quadir Copeland finished with 28 points and six assists, North Carolina transfer Ven-Allen Lubin added 23 points and nine rebounds, and sophomore Paul McNeil Jr. contributed 20 points. Will Wade took over as head coach this season after NC State finished 12-19 last year.
NC State leads the all-time series 6-4, but Auburn won the most recent meeting, claiming a 79-73 victory at home on December 19, 2019.
