Skidding Mets get cold reception in chilly Queens
Mets return home to chilly reception from fans during 11-game losing streak.
Auburn Tigers have signed South Alabama forward Adam Olsen for the 2026-27 season. Olsen averaged 16.7 points per game and led the Sun Belt in three-point shooting last season.
One day after landing Troy transfer forward Thomas Dowd, the Auburn Tigers are adding another in-state Sun Belt standout. Per Justin Hokanson of Auburn Sports, the Tigers will have South Alabama forward Adam Olsen on the roster for the 2026-27 season.
Olsen was one of the top players for South Alabama for the 2025-26 season, helping lead the team to a 21-12 record and an appearance in the NIT. He was second on the team with 16.7 points per game and led the team in three-point shooting at 39.5%. Olsen also led the Sun Belt with 3.3 average three-pointers made per game and percentage. Olsen did not play in the first round NIT game versus Auburn, which the Tigers won 78-67. Olsen posted 15 games during the season with 20 or more points. His highest scoring game of the season was on February 25th with 29 points in an 89-54 win over Louisiana Monroe.

Auburn has rebuilt its frontcourt, which was a weakness for the team this past season. This week, the Tigers have added Dowd and Creighton center, Owen Freeman. Last week, Santa Clara Bukky Oboye signed with Auburn, and after the season, they picked up French center Narcisse Ngoy. The addition of Dowd and Olsen is big for Auburn, with Sebastian Williams-Adams transferring to Vanderbilt despite initially announcing he would return next season.
