What's next after a marvelous Final Four run Apr 10, 2019

Show notes

Brandon Marcello and Phillip Marshall are back from covering Auburn's incredible run in the Final Four, and they're wondering what would have happened had the referees not stepped into the spotlight during the national semifinal against Virginia in the final seconds. Auburn Undercover's Keith Niebuhr steps in to host the newest episode of the podcast as we discuss the controversial ending to the Tigers' season, and why we believe they would have won a national championship had the right calls been made by the referees in the final seconds. The guys also discuss what's next for Auburn as the Tigers try to replace seniors Bryce Brown, Horace Spencer and Malik Dunbar, and junior point guard Jared Harper, who announced Tuesday he will leave school after the spring semester to pursue the NBA. Harper and Brown formed the best backcourt in ages at Auburn, so what's next for the Tigers as they lose their assists leader and the No. 1 three-point shooter in school history? The guys discuss that, the recruiting class and so much more as they reflect on an incredible postseason run led by coach Bruce Pearl and what's on the horizon in the coming years for the Auburn basketball program.

Show notes

The run is not over. Auburn is headed to the Sweet 16 for the first time in 16 years (2003), and the opponent is none other than No. 1 seed North Carolina.

Witnessing history with Auburn basketball Mar 18, 2019

Show notes

Keith Niebuhr hosts the Auburn Undercover podcast as Brandon Marcello drives home from an incredible week in Nashville, where the Auburn Tigers won four games in four days to win the program's first SEC Tournament title since 1985. The guys recap the historic weekend for Auburn, which ended with a dominant 84-64 victory against Tennessee in the SEC Tournament championship. It was the best game of the Bruce Pearl era, and to do it against his old program had to be special for the Tigers' coach. We discuss that, the emergence of Chuma Okeke, the return of Austin Wiley and why Auburn was so much better than Tennessee for a third straight time. The guys also break down Auburn's NCAA Tournament draw and why Brandon believes the Selection Committee gave Auburn a raw deal. They preview the Tigers' first-round opponent, New Mexico State, and whether this Auburn team can reach the Sweet 16 with games against NMSU and potentially Kansas in Salt Lake City.

The Roundtable: The rise of Auburn basketball Mar 11, 2019

Show notes

The merge is here. Auburn Undercover and Inside The Auburn Tigers are now under one roof, and to celebrate we've got everyone sitting at The Roundtable to discuss the basketball team's huge upset of Tennessee and their hopes for a deep run in the SEC and NCAA tournaments. Mark Murphy, Jason Caldwell, Phillip Marshall, Keith Niebuhr and Brandon Marcello break down the Tigers' four-game winning streak that hit a high point with an 84-80 victory against No. 5 Tennessee on Saturday, discuss the Tigers' great draw in the SEC Tournament and how they believe they will perform in the NCAA Tournament next week. Bruce Pearl's bunch seems much more prepared and built to be a team to make noise in March compared to last season, when they limped down the stretch with injuries.

The guys also discuss the latest in recruiting, break down the baseball and softball teams heading into their SEC openers this weekend. We didn't forget about football, either. Who stood out to us at Auburn's Pro Day? What do we expect when spring practices begin Monday on campus?

It's a loaded show for the first ever Auburn Undercover Podcast with Inside The Auburn Tigers.

The Roundtable: Big days ahead for Auburn basketball, football Mar 07, 2019

Show notes

The Auburn Undercover Roundtable returns as Brandon Marcello is joined by Phillip Marshall and Keith Niebuhr to discuss a variety of subjects — and go off-topic a time or two — on this jampacked episode. The guys discuss Auburn's come-from-behind victory at Alabama, what it means and whether the Tigers can knock off No. 5 Tennessee in the regular-season finale. Boy, Chuma Okeke certainly looks like the most talented player on the court, too, doesn't he? The guys discuss the matchups between Auburn and the Volunteers, what's ahead in the postseason and whether the crowd will be a factor as spring break hits the calendar this weekend on campus. Plus, Keith has all the recruiting intel and whether news is on the horizon. The guys also discuss the future of the quarterback position at Auburn and how that will affect recruiting in 2020 and beyond. The guys also wonder about a baseball player's name and a possible connection to the Patrick Swayze classic "Road House," discuss the AAF and XFL, past minor-league football leagues and share their takes on the potential rule changes coming to overtime and targeting penalties in college football. Oh, and why do Power 5 college basketball programs always go after flash-in-the-pan coaches from smaller leagues?

The guys have a lot of thoughts on all of the above in this week's edition of the Roundtable on the Auburn Undercover Podcast.

Our escape is sports Mar 05, 2019

A big week lies ahead at Alabama and against No. 5 Tennessee, and wins will only help Auburn's seeding in the upcoming SEC and NCAA tournaments. How high could Auburn jump in the NCAA Tournament? Brandon and Keith break it down. Plus, Keith discusses yet another big weekend of visitors for the football program and which high-profile recruits you need to know about, including a big-time quarterback.

Opportunities aplenty for Auburn to improve NCAA Tournament seeding Mar 01, 2019

Show notes

Auburn avoided disaster with a 78-75 victory at Georgia, and now the eyes are set on the horizon: three top-tier teams to end the regular season. The NCAA's NET rankings have placed Auburn at No. 23 entering the final week of the season as the Tigers prepare to face teams all considered "quadrant 1" opponents: Mississippi State, Alabama and Tennessee. Victories will mean improved seeding for the Tigers, who avoided the NCAA Tournament bubble with a win Wednesday at lowly Georgia. Auburn shouldn't look at the next three games as challenges. No, these are opportunities to improve Auburn's spot in NCAA Tournament bracket (unless the Tigers crumble down the stretch and land on the bubble with an 0-4 mark, including a loss in the SEC Tournament). Brandon Marcello breaks down the numbers, key injuries and much more in the newest episode of the Auburn Undercover podcast. The senior editor for AUC also discusses what the elevation of Travis Williams to co-defensive coordinator on the football field means for the coach and the program. He also answers listeners' questions concerning Auburn football and the always-popular football complex.

The Roundtable: The Deep South's newest rivalry change Feb 25, 2019

Show notes

Auburn Undercover's Roundtable returns as Brandon Marcello, Phillip Marshall, Ron Sanders and Keith Niebuhr discuss the Auburn-Georgia rivalry shifting to October, the basketball team's NCAA Tournament hopes, what we're hearing on facility plans at Auburn and the impact of the commitment of a 4-star receiver. Also, we discuss why Auburn's plan to update facilities piece by piece without much of a plan needs to come to an end, and Phillip and Brandon are here to offer a solution.. The Kentucky loss didn't quite affect Auburn basketball as badly as once first thought, either. But will we ever see a fully healthy Austin Wiley? Will the center return to Auburn next season? The guys also talk more about athletics director Allen Greene's one-on-one interview with Auburn Undercover, the latest with the baseball team and more.

Oh, and we play our newest messages on the Auburn Undercover hotline. Auburn fans Tom, Will and Kimmerville give their takes on Auburn football and basketball and one fan has an interesting nickname for a coach that came and left Auburn without much fanfare.
