Auburn basketball learns opponent for 2025 ACC-SEC challenge
Auburn basketball learns opponent for 2025 ACC-SEC challenge Bruce Pearl and the Auburn Tigers will face a former SEC head coach in this year's edition of the ACC-SEC Challenge. The 2024 ACC-SEC Challenge was a huge success for the SEC, who posted a 14-2 record in the event. Auburn, unfortunately, was not on the winning side of last year's challenge, falling to Duke at Cameron Indoor Stadium in Durham, North Carolina, 84-78. This year, the Tigers will aim for revenge in front of their home crowd as they will host the NC State Wolfpack at Neville Arena for this year's edition of the ACC-SEC Challenge, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports. This year's matchup is intriguing as it will pit Auburn's Bruce Pearl against former LSU head coach Will Wade, who is set to begin his first season as the Wolfpack's head coach after spending the last two seasons at McNeese State. Wade is set to take on the challenge of building NC State back into an ACC contender after the program recorded a 38-34 record, with a 14-26 mark in ACC play over the last two seasons under Kevin Keatts. Wade won 105 games in five seasons at LSU. Since arriving in Raleigh, Wade has worked tirelessly in his rebuilding efforts through the transfer portal by landing former North Carolina forward Ven-Allen Lubin, former Houston forward Terrance Arceneaux, and ex-Texas Tech forward Darrion Williams. He also landed the nation's No. 14 recruiting class with four-star guard Matt Able headlining the haul. Auburn basketball will nearly start from scratch with its roster following last season's Final Four run. Auburn signed key players, including Mississippi State forward Keshawn Murphy, the Big 12's leading scorer Keyshawn Hall, and a talented wing player in Elyjah Freeman this offseason. Pearl also landed a top-20 recruiting class that features two JUCO stars and a pair of four-stars from the high school ranks. This season's matchup with NC State has the makings of a classic. Here is a look at the complete lineup for this season's ACC-SEC Challenge.

Ranking all 16 Southeastern Conference football helmets heading into the 2025 campaign
Ranking all 16 Southeastern Conference football helmets heading into the 2025 campaign The Southeastern Conference is the most iconic league in college football, with a history dating back to 1932 when 13 members of the then-recently defunct Southern Conference joined together to form what is now known as the SEC. Over the 90-plus years of existence, the league has boasted some of the best teams of all time. The SEC has also carried a reputation for sporting some of most iconic helmets on the collegiate gridiron. With the additions of the Texas Longhorns and Oklahoma Sooners to the league last season, the conference is now truly stacked, as even the weaker offerings are still among the best the sport has to offer. Below is a look at Gators Wire's updated rankings of all 16 member schools' helmets ahead of the 2025 campaign, including the Florida Gators. No. 16: Ole Miss Rebels Even though Ole Miss's helmets are last in this ranking, their toppers are not terrible. It just lacks the oomph one looks for in a sport that is fueled by violence. The script university nickname just does not inspire much fear or excitement — it makes me want to drink a mint julep in a calm grove. No. 15: Tennessee Volunteers The shade known as Tennessee Orange is an abomination and the T logo's font just does not work for me. The design and color scheme are far outdated, making it difficult for me to take the team seriously sometimes while watching the games. No teeth at all to it. Read more at Vols Wire No. 14: Mississippi State Bulldogs There is simply nothing remarkable about Mississippi State's football helmet. The logo is dated as is the primary color; on the other hand, that vintage shade is rarely seen, giving it a bit of novelty. That said, the overall design is the epitome of mid. No. 13: Vanderbilt Commodores Commodores have a tough act to follow in the SEC, but their helmets are fairly solid. The star and capital V logo is admittedly tidy, as is the black-on-gold color theme, but it is a little bit bland. Perhaps if they were better on the field, I would have a rosier view of them. No. 12: Georgia Bulldogs Sure, the 'Dawgs have been a powerhouse program this past half decade but face it, the logo is pretty generic: Grambling State uses it as well as does the Green Bay Packers. The red, black and white color scheme is robust but just not enough to overcome the lack of originality. These helmets could be ranked lower if the program were less successful. Read more at UGA Wire No. 11: South Carolina Gamecocks Something just does not sit well with me when I look at the logo enclosed within a weirdly fonted capital C. The fighting cock does look formidable despite what appears to be a broken neck but the color scheme draws away from it a bit. It is a 3.6 Roentgen design overall: not great, not terrible. No. 10: Missouri Tigers The visage of the Tiger is an improvement over the old block M logo, but it still lacks a little oomph — not to mention there might be too many tiger mascots in the conference. The color scheme is strong and the roaring cat does get you amped, so it is nothing to be ashamed of. Alabama's signature helmet would be ranked even lower if they were not so iconic. Sure, simplicity is an important factor in getting the aesthetics correct but the player numbers on the plain red background is just too generic to land too high on this list. Read more at Roll Tide Wire No. 8: Oklahoma Sooners The Sooners also benefit from the iconic nature of their design, but like some of the previous entries, the excitement stops there. The crimson and cream color scheme works, but the block letter logo just lacks some pizazz. Still, not a bad landing spot in the grand scheme of things. Read more at Sooners Wire No. 7: Kentucky Wildcats Kentucky's overall design is clean with a blue and white palette to work with. The interlocking letters of the logo are somewhat of an overused design, but the execution is very well done, giving the Wildcats a fresher look than some of their SEC peers. Read more at UK Wildcats Wire No. 6: Auburn Tigers Auburn gets credit for its burnt orange and navy color scheme plus some iconic points as well. The logo design with the two colors used as outline and fill really pops off the white helmets and represents one of the better abbreviations seen on helmets. Read more at Auburn Wire I have to hand it to TAMU, their helmet design is one of the better ones in the SEC. The symmetry of the A and M underneath the larger T is top-notch, and while I do not particularly love the color maroon, it just works for them. Read more at Aggies Wire No. 4: LSU Tigers The highest-ranked Tigers on this list land in this spot due to a convergence of its iconic nature — particularly the old-school tiger visage — as well as its royal colors of purple and gold. These helmets look like they mean business, and while they do lack a more modern feel, they still are among the best in the SEC. Read more at LSU Wire No. 3: Arkansas Razorbacks The running razorback gets me, to be perfectly honest — anyone who knows anything about feral hogs knows that they are formidable threats when disturbed. Then add the cardinal red color which gives a feel of both anger and blood and you have a recipe for a great football helmet. No. 2: Texas Longhorns Originally, the 'Horns were the top of this list, but I had a change of heart when it came to this update. Texas and its Longhorn logo in burnt orange on a background of white is the perfect mix of clean, iconic and fearsome for a football helmet. The slight iridescence of the modern logo adds a nice final touch to an already near-perfect look. Read more at Longhorns Wire No. 1: Florida Gators Florida's strength in these rankings comes from a combination of its epic orange and blue color scheme as well as the iconic script Gators logo. Unlike Ole Miss' script-based design, these bad boys mean business, especially considering the success the program has seen since implementing it.
