This Auburn Team Might Be UNSTOPPABLE In The NIT Behind Overton | Auburn Football Podcast

Auburn basketball is officially one win away from bringing home an NIT championship, and after what was seen against Illinois State, this team looks like it’s peaking at the perfect time. The Tigers dominated Illinois State 88 to 66 in a game that showed exactly what this roster is capable of when everything clicks. Auburn shot over 60 percent from the field and an incredible 57 percent from three. Kevin Overton was perfect from deep, going 5 for 5, while Keyshawn Hall led the way with 24 points and continued to prove why he’s one of the toughest matchups in this tournament. But it wasn’t just offense. The defensive energy stood out just as much. Auburn forced turnovers, turned those into easy points, and completely overwhelmed Illinois State with athleticism and speed. That’s been the difference during this NIT run. When this team locks in defensively, everything else opens up. Now the focus shifts to Tulsa in the NIT Finals. This is a 30 win team, and they’re not going to just roll over. They’ve got multiple players who can score, and they know how to win close games. But the biggest question isn’t Tulsa. It’s Auburn. Can Auburn continue playing connected basketball? Can Kevin Overton stay hot? Can Keyshawn Hall finish his Auburn career with a championship? And can this team carry that chip on its shoulder one more time? There’s also bigger implications here. Winning this game could impact roster retention, momentum heading into next season, and the overall direction under Steven Pearl in year one. This is more than just the NIT Finals.
