The full schedule for Auburn men's basketball is now complete.
After the team announced its non-conference dates and times Monday morning, the entire slate for this coming season is set. You can read about the team's conference matchups, announced last week, here.
The Tigers open the season with a trio of home showdowns against South Alabama (Nov. 6), Washington (Nov. 9) and Mississippi College (Nov. 14) before traveling to Maui for the Maui Jim Maui Invitational. At the tournament, Auburn opens with Xavier, a No. 1 seed from last year's NCAA Tournament, on Nov. 19.
Bruce Pearl's squad returns home after the invitational, which could last until Nov. 21 if Auburn makes the championship game. At Auburn Arena, the team will play another three-game slate against Saint Peter's (Nov. 28), UNC Asheville (Dec. 4) and Dayton (Dec. 8) before traveling to UAB (Dec. 15) and North Carolina State (Dec. 19).
