#14 Auburn vs Furman Game Preview and Open Thread

Auburn Basketball (finally) returns tonight!

It’s been a long time since last Tuesday night when the Tigers defeated Richmond to win the Legends Classic but the Tigers will return to Auburn Arena for the first time in 2 12 weeks tonight as they host the 7-2 Furman Paladins out of the Southern Conference.

Get To Know Furman

Last season, the Paladins were the early season mid-major darling after beating both Loyola-Chicago and Villanova, 2 Final Four teams from the previous season on their home floors. Furman stayed in the running for an at-large NCAA Tournament berth all the way until the Conference Tournaments and ended up settling for the NIT last year.
