A look at Auburn basketball’s 2024-25 schedule

Check out Auburn basketball’s 2024-25 slate ahead of Wednesday’s season-opener!

Auburn basketball returns to action this week, and if you are looking for their 2024-25 schedule, you have come to the right place.

The No. 11 Auburn Tigers won last season’s SEC Tournament but was bounced in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. To prevent a similar fate this season, head coach [autotag]Bruce Pearl[/autotag] has built a schedule filled with teams that will challenge the Tigers, thus preparing them for the NCAA Tournament gauntlet.

The Tigers will face 14 teams that are nationally ranked or receiving votes, heading into the season. In addition to its taxing SEC schedule, Auburn will face No. 4 Houston, No. 5 Duke, No. 6 Iowa State, and No. 14 Purdue. Auburn also faces the possibility of meeting No. 3 UConn and No. 10 North Carolina during its stay at the Maui Invitational this month.

Pearl says that this season’s schedule should provide opportunities for Auburn to prove their worth on the court.

“I just think from the standpoint of our players, I think our players deserve the opportunity to play against the best and have that great, great challenge. Adversity doesn’t always build character, but adversity will reveal character. We’re going to have some adversity. We’re going to lose some games in non-conference, perhaps more than we have in the past, just because of the strength of the schedule. How do we handle that? How do we bounce back? What do we learn? And obviously getting better throughout the season. Then also if you look at the SEC-ACC matchup, the fact that Alabama and Auburn are both going to North Carolina and Duke and a lot of responsibility in those two matchups because those are going to be two of the hardest games in that matchup, and so I will wear the responsibility of trying to uphold our end, knowing the challenge of going to Duke.”
