After Auburn was bounced from the first round of the NCAA Tournament in a 78-76 upset loss to No. 13 seed Yale, several Tigers now have decisions to make for next season.

Only two scholarship Auburn players are out of eligibility after this season: Jaylin Williams and Lior Berman.

Both their careers ended in heartbreak.

Williams ended with a crushing loss in Spokane, Washington, to Yale, putting a stunning halt to an SEC Tournament title-winning season.

Berman’s ended as he injured his ACL in a March 2 win over Mississippi State at Neville Arena.

That leaves several other players with decisions to make. The transfer portal is open at this point.

The biggest name with a decision to make is Auburn center Johni Broome. Broome declined to speak to media after the loss to Yale. He went through Auburn’s Senior Day festivities in the final home game and Auburn posted a video of Broome that appeared as a goodbye to Auburn.

Broome, Auburn’s best player this season, tested the NBA Draft last summer. He is expected to look toward the professional level again. But without commenting in the locker room, his decision is unclear.

Other Auburn players who went through Senior Day but have a chance to come back include K.D. Johnson, Chris Moore, Dylan Cardwell and Carter Sobera.

Jalen Harper, a walk-on, cannot come back next season. He plans to play in Spain and move in with his brother — former Auburn star Jared Harper, who is currently playing for Valencia in the Spanish Liga ACB.

Only Cardwell and Sobera spoke to reporters after the loss to Yale.

Cardwell is uncertain on what’s next.

“I have to sit down and really think about it — talk with the coaching staff, talk with my mom, talk to my family,” Cardwell said after the game. “We have a great chance of coming back and making history again and to invest in the team next year.”

Asked when he’ll make his decision, Cardwell said he just needs a few days to process this loss.

“Off the table,” Cardwell said for now. “I’ll think about it starting Monday, probably, and just start praying about it.”

Sobera said he hasn’t thought about it yet either.

“Not sure yet,” Sobera said when asked if he wants to come back next season.

Sobera earned a scholarship part of the way through this season after spending his first three years at Auburn as a walk-on.

Decisions will be coming in days, or weeks.

This Auburn team will not look the same in the fall.
