In photos: Auburn takes the podium at SEC Media Day

Auburn coach Bruce Pearl waits to be interviewed during SEC Media Day at the Grand Bohemian Hotel in Mountain Brook Tuesday, Oct. 15, 2024.

The college basketball season is just around the corner. Evidence of that could be seen during Tuesday’s SEC Media Day at the Grand Bohemian Hotel in Mountain Brook, Alabama, just outside of Birmingham.

Head coach Bruce Pearl, forward Johni Broome, and guard Denver Jones represented Auburn during the event, where they fielded questions from the media regarding the upcoming season. Jones, who is working toward becoming the team’s point guard, spoke about how Pearl is working to prepare him for his new role.

“He was teaching me a lot — deep in detail about my footwork, being able to shoot floaters, because I’m not gonna be able to get to the rim every single time in this league,” Jones said Tuesday. “Obviously, like, helping with my passing ability — there are a lot of attributes that come with playing point guard, and I feel like he prepared me for that.”

Photographers snapped great shots of Pearl, Broome, and Jones during their stay in Mountain Brook. Here are the best photos from Auburn’s time at SEC Media Day on Tuesday.
