After an impressive 99-68 win over Nebraska on Saturday in Atlanta, the Tigers welcome an in-state foe to Auburn Arena this evening. Auburn welcomes North Alabama to Auburn Arena in the team’s first matchup since 2015 and the first time since the Lions from Florence made the move to Division 1. The teams were supposed to play last year in the season opener that was cancelled due to COVID delaying the start of the regular season.
Coach Bruce Pearl will serve his second game of his 2-game suspension tonight and so son Steven Pearl makes his head-coaching “debut” tonight in Bruce’s absence.
