An incredible season comes to a close.#WarEagle pic.twitter.com/CzNebFcnIR — Auburn Basketball (@AuburnMBB) April 6, 2025
Auburn's magical season came to a heartbreaking end on Saturday in the Final Four as they dropped their contest with Florida, 79-73, at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas.
Auburn held a 46-38 halftime advantage before Florida changed the tone of the game by starting off the second half on a 24-17 run over the first 13:17 of the half. Florida's Thomas Haugh made a layup with 6:31 in the game to give the Gators the 64-63 lead, which would be the score needed to take the final lead of the game. From that moment, Florida outscored Auburn, 15-10 to seal the win.
Auburn fans are understandably heartbroken as the season, as well as the careers of several beloved Tigers, come to an end. Here are some of the best (or saddest) social media reactions to Auburn's Final Four loss to Florida.

Magic Make Desmond Bane Announcement After Trade With Grizzlies
Magic Make Desmond Bane Announcement After Trade With Grizzlies originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Orlando Magic stumbled through a roller-coaster 2024–25 regular season, finishing 41–41 and claiming the No. 7 seed in the Eastern Conference, a record forged despite midseason injuries to key rotation players, such as Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner. Advertisement In the first round, Boston asserted its authority with a commanding 103–86 victory at TD Garden in Game 1 and never looked back, closing out Orlando in five games and exposing the Magic's need for a proven secondary scorer capable of lifting the team in high-pressure moments. Memphis Grizzlies guard Desmond Bane (22)Alonzo Adams-Imagn Images A few weeks later, the Orlando Magic acquired sharpshooting guard Desmond Bane, 26, from the Memphis Grizzlies in a massive deal. In exchange, Orlando sent veteran shooting guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Cole Anthony, four unprotected first-round picks (the 2025 No. 16 overall, 2026 via Phoenix, 2028 and 2030) and a 2029 first-round pick swap to the Memphis Grizzlies. Moments after the trade was official, the Orlando Magic unveiled Bane's new jersey number. Advertisement 'Desmond Bane will wear #3' Bane spent his first five NBA seasons in Memphis, where he wore No. 22 and emerged as one of the league's most efficient two-way wings. A 2020 first-round pick out of Texas Christian University, he developed into a reliable perimeter threat and versatile defender, helping power the Grizzlies to three playoff appearances. Across five seasons and 313 regular-season games, Bane averaged 17.8 points, 4.6 rebounds and 3.8 assists per contest while shooting 47.2 percent from the field, 41.0 percent from three and 89.4 percent at the free-throw line. In 2024–25, he raised his production to 19.2 points, 6.1 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 1.2 steals over 69 games—career highs that showcased his two-way growth. Advertisement Desmond Bane's new number marks the beginning of what both he and the Magic hope will be a championship pursuit.

College World Series winners and losers: The best and worst from Day 3 in Omaha
College World Series winners and losers: The best and worst from Day 3 in Omaha Show Caption Hide Caption Which NCAA baseball teams could blow up the bracket The Montgomery Advertiser's Adam Cole and The Southwest Times Record's Jackson Fuller break down who could wreck the tournament bracket. OMAMA, NE ― Day 3 of the 2024 College World Series saw Coastal Carolina become the first team to punch its ticket to the semifinals. The Chanticleers rode a strong start from Jacob Morrison to a 6-2 win over Oregon State. Meanwhile, Louisville stayed alive with an 8-3 win over Arizona in a game that was closer than it seemed, as the Cardinals scored six runs in the eighth inning after facing a 3-2 deficit. Louisville will face the Beavers in an elimination game June 17 (2 p.m. ET), with the winner advancing to the semifinals and needing to beat Coastal Carolina twice. Here were the winners and losers from Day 3 at Charles Schwab Field: WINNERS Small ball There were three home runs hit during Day 3 in Omaha: one by Arizona and two for Oregon State. Both of those teams lost. Louisville, which won the first game, had just one extra-base hit, a double. Coastal Carolina, the winner of the second game, had two doubles. The Chanticleers had two sacrifice bunts; Louisville had one sac and a bunt hit. The Cardinals also stole three bases and took advantage of errors. Mid-majors Unlike in basketball, where mid-major powerhouses often make the Final Four or even win titles, it's become increasingly difficult for mid-majors to do well in the College World Series. Before Coastal Carolina's run, the last mid-major to compete in the semifinals in Omaha was also the Chanticleers in 2016, when they won the national title. Before that, the last teams to do it were Fresno State and San Diego in 2008, the former of which won the national title. Paul Skenes For a player who is notably playing in MLB currently and whose former team didn't play, Paul Skenes got some airtime on Day 3. First came the reports that Skenes, the former LSU pitcher and 2023 College World Series Most Outstanding Player, would be attending the Tigers' winners bracket game on June 16. Then, a graphic on the ESPN broadcast compared Coastal Carolina pitcher Jacob Morrison to Skenes. According to the graphic, those two pitchers had the most starts with six or more innings pitched and one or fewer runs allowed in the last five seasons. Morrison pitched 7⅔ innings of one-run ball against Oregon State. LOSERS Defense In the pitcher-friendly Charles Schwab Field, the impact of any defensive mistake is magnified. Oregon State and Arizona learned that lesson the hard way. The Wildcats committed two errors and allowed four unearned runs amid a six-run eighth inning for Louisville. That included a throwing error by the shortstop on a routine play and the pitcher dropping the ball on a rundown at home plate. The Beavers also allowed four unearned runs thanks to two different errors, one that allowed Caden Bodine to reach to lead off the game and a second when Bodine hit what should've been an inning-ending double play in the fourth inning, but the second baseman booted the ball, leading to one run, and another run scored on a wild pitch afterwards. Hot mics During the College World Series, umpires are mic'd up. That helps make calls more clear, but several players didn't realize the mics were on and were audibly heard shouting expletives after at-bats that didn't go their way. Program loyalty: Oregon State, Coastal Carolina baseball led by former players in College World Series 2025 The (former) Pac-12 The league formerly known as the Pac-12 made waves by getting three teams into Omaha, now in two different conferences and one independent, something that the actual Pac-12 hadn't done in decades. But one of those teams, Arizona, has already been eliminated, and Oregon State will face elimination after falling to Coastal Carolina. UCLA is in the winner's bracket, but will be a heavy underdog to LSU. Aria Gerson covers Vanderbilt athletics for The Tennessean. Contact her at agerson@ or on X @aria_gerson.
