They are projecting the Tigers to win four in a row before losing to Alabama in the regular season finale. Auburn may also need a positive showing in the SEC Tournament as well.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>The first step in saving the season will be getting a home victory against Kentucky. The Wildcats were upset on Tuesday night when they lost to Georgia 86-78. KenPom is projecting Auburn to protect their home court at Neville Arena with an 81-78 victory. Next up will be a road trip to Oklahoma, where KenPom sees a narrower margin. They only give Auburn a 52% chance of victory with a projected 82-81 victory. The next two games against Ole Miss and LSU seem more favorable. The Tigers won 78-66 on the road.<\/p>\n<p>In the final game of the season at Alabama, Auburn will look to win in Tuscaloosa for a second consecutive season. Alabama won the first matchup between the two rivals 96-92 and Auburn will look to even the score. KenPom is giving Auburn a 25% chance of victory with a projected loss with the score of 93-85. KenPom has Auburn projected to end the season with a 17-14 overall record and an 8-10 record in the SEC.<\/p>\n<p><em>Contact\/Follow us @<\/em><a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/theauburnwire\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:TheAuburnWire;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \"><em>TheAuburnWire<\/em><\/a><em> on\u00a0 X (Twitter), and like our page on<\/em><a href=\"http:\/\/facebook.com\/theauburnwire\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Facebook;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \"><em> Facebook<\/em><\/a><em> to follow ongoing coverage of Auburn news, notes, and opinions.<\/em> <em>You can also follow Phillip on Twitter<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/PJordanSports\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:@PJordanSports;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \"> <strong><em>@PJordanSports<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>This article originally appeared on Auburn Wire: <a href=\"https:\/\/auburnwire.usatoday.com\/story\/sports\/college\/auburn\/mens-basketball\/2026\/02\/21\/auburn-basketball-kenpom-prediction-regular-season-ncaa-tournament\/88771459007\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:KenPom predicts Auburn basketball's final five games;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">KenPom predicts Auburn basketball&#8217;s final five games<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\">\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js<\/a><br \/>\n<br \/><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/sports.yahoo.com\/articles\/kenpom-predicts-auburn-basketballs-final-204406670.html\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Auburn basketball enters its final handful of games on a five-game losing streak, and it is desperately in need of a win.
