UCLA lands Auburn forward Filip Jovic as 2026 transfer era begins

Auburn transfer Filip Jovic, a 6'9 Serbian forward who averaged 5.9 points and 4.1 rebounds in 18 minutes per game this past season, commits to UCLA, signaling the Bruins’ first 2026 transfer and a step in roster rebuilding under Mick Cronin. Jovic arrives with three years of eligibility and follows UCLA’s 24-12 season that ended in a Second Round exit; Auburn finished 20-16 and missed the NCAA Tournament bubble. UCLA’s roster picture remains fluid, with departures like Donovan Dent and Tyler Bildeau and returning players such as Eric Daily and Trent Perry, plus incoming Joe Philon anticipated to help shape the lineup.

Sports Illustrated highlights the season’s most notable NCAA tournament snubs—San Diego State, New Mexico, Auburn, Oklahoma, Indiana, and Seton Hall—arguing each had a credible case based on strong resumes, late-season surges or close losses, and tough schedules that the committee didn’t reward, with SDSU’s quad-3 loss to Troy, New Mexico’s late-slip, Auburn’s strong metrics but middling record, and Seton Hall’s 21 wins in a congested Big East among the focal points.

Auburn’s NCAA Bid Falls Short After Late-Season Slide

Auburn missed the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2020-21, finishing 17–16 (7–11 SEC) despite a rugged schedule (No. 3 strength of schedule, 17 Quad‑1 games) and multiple quality wins. A 3–9 late-season stretch, including losses to Ole Miss, Mississippi State and other bubble teams, left their at-large bid out of reach. Their resume still included key wins (Kentucky, Texas, NC State, Florida on the road), but the overall body of work wasn’t enough, and Auburn now shifts to the NIT where they’re expected to be a No. 1 seed hosting games."

Auburn's NCAA Bid Hinges on Bediako Status, Pearl Says

Auburn, fighting for an NCAA Tournament berth, travels to Tuscaloosa in a high-stakes rivalry as Steven Pearl says the Tigers are effectively 16-13 after accounting for Charles Bediako's eligibility. Analysts debate whether Auburn’s home loss should factor into the resume, given Bediako’s role in the earlier Alabama win. Bediako, who played for Alabama in the Feb. 7 win and is in the arena in street clothes, remains a central talking point as Auburn vs. Alabama shapes SEC Tournament seeding and postseason prospects.
