MTSU's basketball teams will test the SEC waters this weekend when the men play Auburn in Nashville on Saturday and the women play host to No. Kentucky on Sunday.
The Blue Raiders will face Auburn at noon at Bridgestone Arena, while the Lady Raiders and Wildcats meet at 2 p.m.
MTSU's men are 5-3 after defeating South Alabama 68-55 last Saturday, while Auburn comes in with a 4-1 record, losing only to Colorado.
"Bruce's (Pearl) team is 4-1. They're really long and they make about 10 3s a game," said MTSU coach Kermit Davis. "They're very athletic and look like a team that can go to the NCAA tournament.
