Impact Pettiford was the only Tiger to show up against Arizona. After being held to six points in the win over North Carolina State on Wednesday, he seemed determined to score against the Wildcats. The sophomore guard has scored at least 24 points in three of his last five games. Despite hitting just 35.8 percent of his field goals, Pettiford is averaging 14.1 points.

Last Night in College Basketball: Is Michigan Clearly the No. 1 Team in the Nation?

Puts up season-high 27 points Pettiford recorded 27 points (10-19 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, two assists, one block and three steals across 37 minutes during Wednesday's 85-74 victory over St. John's.

Impact Pettiford had nine points at halftime, but he and Keyshawn Hall dominated the second half. Each time St. John's seemed like they were going to close the gap, the 6-1 sophomore hit a huge shot. He enjoyed his time in the Players Era Festival and averaged 22.3 points in the three Las Vegas games. Maybe this performance will spark the rest of his season.

Scores 16 in loss Pettiford amassed 16 points (4-10 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 4-5 FT), one rebound, one assist and one steal over 24 minutes during Tuesday's 102-72 loss to Michigan.

Impact The Tigers had just three assists as a team. Pettiford had garnered a combined nine assists in his two previous games, but the offense stalled out against the Wolverines. Pettiford is averaging 13.4 points and 3.1 assists. He will look to set up the offense a bit better on Wednesday against St. John's.

Pettiford scores 24 points to lead No. 21 Auburn past Oregon in the Players Era tourney

Tahaad Pettiford scored 24 points before fouling out and No. 21 Auburn beat Oregon 84-73 on Monday night in the Players Era Championship

NOVEMBER 25, 2025 • Associated Press

Scores season-high 24 Pettiford accumulated 24 points (9-18 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 5-6 FT), four rebounds, four assists and one block across 29 minutes before fouling out of Monday's 84-73 victory over Oregon.

Impact The 6-1 sophomore has struggled out of the gate offensively and is hitting just 33.3 percent of his field goals and 19.5 percent of his 3-pointers. He was able to get to the basket against the Ducks and give himself some easier shots. Despite the shooting woes, Pettiford has been able to score in double digits in four of six games and is averaging 13.0 points and 3.5 assists. The Tigers plays Michigan on Tuesday, which will challenge Pettiford's offensive production.

NOVEMBER 25, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Best scoring output Pettiford racked up 15 points (5-14 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 2-3 FT), one rebound, one assist, two blocks and two steals in 32 minutes during Sunday's 73-72 loss to Houston.

Impact Pettiford dealt with some off-court issues during the offseason, but it hasn't affected his role or availability so far. The sophomore point guard has started all four games for the Tigers, attempting 13 or more shots in each. He got his outside shooting going Sunday against a tough Houston defense, but it wasn't enough to prevent Auburn's first loss. He and the Tigers will look to bounce back Wednesday against Jackson State.

Impact Pettiford's status was a bit of a question mark due to a July legal charge, but the star sophomore guard suited up and saw a full allotment of minutes Wednesday. After averaging 11.6 points, 3.0 assists and 2.2 rebounds in 22.8 minutes per game as a bench piece in 2024-25, Pettiford is likely to be one of the top offensive options for Auburn this season.
