Auburn Tigers hold the top spot in the AP Top 25 Men's College Basketball poll for the second consecutive week after defeating then-No. 6 Tennessee in a close game. The Tigers are led by All-American forward Johnni Broome and coach Bruce Pearl. The top five of the poll remained unchanged from the previous week.
Auburn head coach Bruce Pearl , second from right, talks with players during a timeout in the second half of an NCAA college basketball game against Tennessee, Saturday, Jan. 25, 2025, in Auburn, Ala. Auburn keeps winning games that come down to the wire. It’s kept them on top of the AP Top 25, too.
Suffice to say, so are the Tigers, who got All-American forward Johnni Broome back from an ankle injury that had sidelined him for two games. He led the way with 16 points, 12 rebounds and four blocked shots against the Vols. Michigan State moved up one spot to No. 7 and was followed by the Vols, who balanced out their close loss to Auburn by beating No. 14 Mississippi State. Marquette and Purdue — which beat then-No. 21 Michigan — rounded out the top 10.
