We are 197 days away from the first basketball game of the season!
This morning, we learned when Auburn Basketball would make their triumphant return to the court, as well as their opponent.
Source: Auburn will open the 20-21 college basketball season at home against North Alabama on November 10th.

This game will mark the collegiate debuts for newcomers Sharife Cooper, Chris Moore, Justin Powell and J.T. Thor.
The Lions and Tigers will meet for the 2nd time in program history, with their only meeting coming back in January 2015, an 82-61 Auburn win. This however will be the first time the schools play while UNA is a Division 1 school as the Lions moved up to the Atlantic Sun Conference and Division 1 back in the 2018-2019 season. North Alabama went 13-17 last season.
The game marks the first confirmed date on the Auburn Basketball, other than the Orlando Invitational, which will be held during Thanksgiving.
November 10 - North Alabama
November 26-27, 29 - Orlando Invitational
TBD - Murray State
TBD - South Alabama
TBD - at Washington
With 18 SEC games and 31 games total, this leaves 6 more spots left to fill on the non-conference schedule.
Personally, I love these games against in-state foes and wouldn’t mind seeing another one or two on the schedule.
