Auburn men's basketball will try to repeat as the SEC regular-season champions with a new head coach and almost an entire new roster. After 11 years on the Plains, Bruce Pearl retired and has left his son, Steven, in charge of the Tigers, while Tahaad Pettiford is the only key returner from the squad that made the 2025 Final Four.
On Tuesday, Pearl and his team found out the dates, times and TV assignments for all 18 conference games, with the Tigers traveling to Athens, Ga., to battle rival Georgia on Saturday, Jan. 3, to start their SEC slate.
