Speaking of Mike White…Īuburn’s 1 st SEC road game comes after the New Year as the Tigers head to Athens on January 4 th for the first of 2 matchups this season.
It will be the SEC Coaching debut of a former Auburn assistant as Todd Golden takes over for Mike White and will kick off his SEC Career against one of his former bosses. The Gators denied Auburn’s attempt to win in Gainesville for the first time since 1996, a 63-62 loss in which the Tigers were able to convert on the game’s final possession.
The first one is at home against Colin Castleton and the Florida Gators on December 28 th. Looking at the early portion of the SEC schedule, there’s a couple of revenge opportunities for Auburn from last season. The west coast road trip will be a great test for the Tigers as they get ready to enter SEC play.
#Auburn basketball series#
The USF game is the back end of a home and home series in which Auburn won 58-52 in Tampa last season.Īuburn should also be fairly heavily favored to win their non-conference tournament in Cancun as well. Auburn also has 2 teams from the American on the schedule with Memphis and USF. George Mason last played Auburn in the 2017-2018 season. The Billikens are 1 of 2 Atlantic 10 schools on the schedule with the season opener against Kim English’s George Mason Patriots being the other. Auburn will get to host Southern Cal next season but definitely don’t want to discredit Saint Louis, who should be a Top 25 team when they come to town. Looking at the non-conference schedule, I would have loved to have seen a game at home against a Power 5 school. Auburn also goes to West Virginia on January 28th in the SEC/Big 12 Challenge. The series started in Auburn back in the 2018-2019 season, an 88-66 Auburn win in a ranked vs ranked matchup inside Auburn Arena. To round out the non-conference slate, the Tigers will travel to play at 3 Power 5 schools, including a west coast trip to Los Angeles and Seattle right before Christmas to start a home and series with Southern Cal on December 18th and then at Washington on December 21st to finally complete a home and home series with the Huskies. Auburn closes their home portion of the non-conference schedule on December 14th against Georgia State. This will be the Tigers 3rd straight season playing in Holiday Hoopsgiving at the Atlanta Hawk’s State Farm Arena. The Tigers host Colgate on December 2nd before finals and then will play Memphis in Atlanta for the 2nd time in 3 seasons. The Billikens will be loaded this season returning all of their key players from last year’s squad that nearly knocked Auburn off in Saint Louis last season. The highlight of the home slate in non-conference is against Saint Louis on November 27th, the Sunday following the Iron Bowl. The Tigers will then head to Cancun on the 22nd to face Bradley and then will face either Liberty or Northwestern on the 23rd. With the league continuing to grow stronger year after year, it will be a daunting task for the Tigers to repeat as SEC Regular Season Champions, particularly losing 2 1 st Round Draft Picks but the Tigers will press on with a veteran laden squad and bolstered by freshmen Yohan Traore, Chance Westry and Morehead State transfer Johni Broome.Īuburn has 4 home games to start the season against George Mason (11/7), South Florida (11/11), Winthrop (11/15) and Texas Southern (11/18). The highly anticipated SEC Basketball schedule was released yesterday completing the Tigers 2022-2023 schedule. This Just In: Life is Hard if you’re a SEC Basketball Team.
