During the first quarter of the Auburn-Mississippi State game, an announcement from Auburn men's basketball head coach Bruce Pearl played on the video board.
Pearl announced the return of "Tipoff at Toomer's," set for Oct. 17 this year. The event was attempted last year, but due to concerns about the weather, it was canceled.
The event aims to place a basketball court on the historical intersection of College and Magnolia for an exhibition contest.
