SEC/BIG 12 BASKETBALL CHALLENGE
West Virginia will host Auburn in the SEC/Big 12 Men’s Basketball Challenge this upcoming season. The Mountaineers and Tigers have faced off four times, with each team winning two of the games. WVU won the last matchup during Bob Huggins’ first year as the head coach of his alma mater.
While the Mountaineers struggled last season, going 16-17, Auburn had a great season. The Tigers went 28-6, but were upset by Miami in the Second Round of the NCAA Tournament.
