AUBURN, Ala. – Building off its momentum of playing and assembling the toughest schedule in program history in 2024-25, Auburn men’s basketball has signed a home-and-home series with another perennial powerhouse program in Arizona.
The Tigers will travel to Tucson for a showdown in the desert on Dec. 6, 2025, at the McKale Center, with the return game in Auburn still to be determined.
Auburn leads 2-0 in the all-time series with Arizona – both at neutral sites. The Tigers defeated the Wildcats, 73-57, on Nov. 21, 2018, at the Maui Invitational. Both teams also met in the 1986 NCAA First Round (W, 73-63) in Long Beach, Calif.
The Tigers are currently ranked No. 1 in both national polls, while Arizona is No. 22 in the Associated Press Top 25 Poll and No. 21 in the ESPN Coaches Top 25 Poll.
Auburn’s schedule for next season also includes a rematch with Purdue at the Fourth Annual Indy Classic on Dec. 20, 2025, at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, Ind.
