The Auburn Tigers basketball team competes in the Southeastern Conference (SEC), which is one of the top conferences in the nation. In general, they haven’t been one of its powerhouse teams, but they have been incredibly strong the last six years. It is a Division I team in the NCAA.

The Tigers began play in 1906 and have reached the NCAA Tournament on 10 separate occasions and have reached the National Invitational Tournament (NIT) six times. They represent Auburn University. Their home basketball tournaments are played at Neville Arena on the university campus.

Let’s take a deeper dive into the program’s history and how you can watch Auburn Tigers basketball games.

The schedule for this year’s March Madness is set. You can find it all in our March Madness Guide.

Otherwise, any game that is not shown on an ESPN property will typically be available for viewing on CBS or the CBS Sports Network (CBSSN).

Auburn Basketball

Alabama, Georgia, and the University of Alabama-Birmingham (UAB) are among Auburn’s biggest rivals on the basketball court. As Alabama and Georgia are also in the SEC, the Tigers play them on a regular basis. Auburn and UAB are signed to play at least three more games at some point in the future per the terms of a deal signed in 2015.

Auburn Tigers Men’s Basketball

The Tigers’ first coach was Mike Donahue, who also served as the school’s athletic director at the time that the program was founded. Donahue also served as the coach of the Auburn football, baseball, and track teams in 1906 and for several seasons afterward. He would spend 16 years as coach of the Auburn basketball team, which still stands as the most in program history.

Five other men have spent at least 10 years as Auburn’s basketball coach, and the most recent to do so was Cliff Ellis, who was with the team from 1994 to 2004. During his time with the team, he led Auburn to its first number one seed in the NCAA tournament. The 1998-99 squad would advance to the Sweet Sixteen before losing to Ohio State. He also took Auburn to the NCAA tournament in 2000 and 2003. Auburn made four NIT appearances between 1995 and 2001.

The team is currently coached by Bruce Pearl, who led Auburn to the Final Four in 2019. Pearl has won 186 games over nine seasons, which ranks him tied for second in school history.

The men’s team consists of KD Johnson (steals leader), Dylan Cardwell, Johni Broome (points, blocked shots, rebounds leader), Aden Holloway, Denver Jones, Chad Baker-Mazara, Tre Donaldson (assists leader), Chaney Johnson, Jaylin Williams, Chris Moore, and Lior Berman.

Throughout its history, the Auburn Tiger basketball program has produced a number of players who would enjoy stellar careers in the professional ranks. Charles Barkley is perhaps the most famous individual to play for the school. Barkley played at Auburn between 1981 and 1984 and had his number retired in 2001. In 2006, he was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame.

Auburn Tigers 2023-24 Men’s Basketball Schedule

The men’s team will be participating in the SEC tournament taking place from March 13th-17th at Bridgestone Arena, Nashville.

Women’s Basketball

The Auburn women’s basketball team began to play in 1972. Like the men’s team, it plays its home games at Auburn Arena, which has served as the home court for each squad since 2010.

The team is coached by Johnnie Harris, who is in her third year with the Tigers. Over the past 50 years, the Tigers women’s team has been to the NCAA Tournament 21 times and has made three appearances in the championship game.

The women’s team consists of Sydney Shaw, Taylen Collins (blocked shots, rebounds leader), Celia Sumbane, Honesty Scott-Grayson (points leader), Mar’shaun Bostic (steals leader), Kaitlyn Duhon, Savannah Scott, McKenna Eddings, and JaMya Mingo-Young (assists leaders).

The women’s team will be in the SEC tournament from March 6th-10th at Bon Secours Wellness Arena in Greenville, SC.

Other Auburn Sports

Auburn has active sports programs. Right now, the major ones are not quite to the level of the men’s basketball program, but there is a lot of great athleticism.

Football

Auburn’s football team is one of the most successful in the nation. It has been in existence since 1892 and has played its home games at Jordan-Hare Stadium since 1939.

The Tigers football program has won two national championships that are officially recognized and an additional three that it unilaterally has claimed for itself.

Each year, Auburn plays Alabama in the Iron Bowl. It also considers Georgia, Florida, and LSU to be among its rivals in football.

Other Key Sports

During much of the 21st century, Auburn’s swimming and diving teams have been among the best in the SEC and in the nation. Both the men’s and women’s squads have won multiple national titles over the past two decades.

Auburn’s baseball team made it to the College World Series (CWS) in 2023 and has made a six other appearances in this tournament (1967, 1976, 1994, 1997, 2019, 2022).

The women’s soccer team has been constantly competitive in SEC play since its debut in 1993. In 2011, it captured the school’s first conference title in the sport.

All these sports are on the same channels as the men’s basketball games although more are generally shown on SECN+ and ESPN+.

Summing Up

The Auburn men’s basketball team has a long history of success on the court, and they seem poised to accomplish great things this year as well. If you want to watch Auburn basketball, you can subscribe to one of the streaming service discussed above.

Our top choice for Auburn basketball is Fubo. Fubo allows you to try out its service with a free trial.
