It feels like years ago that we watched Samir Doughty and the Auburn Tigers put it on the Tennessee Volunteers in the last regular season game of the 2019-20 season. After that, the COVID-19 pandemic shut down all of college sports including the SEC Tournament and March Madness.
On Thursday, CBS Sports’ Jon Rothstein reported that the 2020-21 season could start sooner than later.
Sources: November 25th and December 4th have emerged as the two likeliest start dates to begin the 20-21 college basketball season.
