AUBURN — Auburn basketball will play at Duke in this year’s ACC-SEC Challenge. The game will be played in Durham, N.C. during the 2024-25 non-conference schedule before SEC play begins.
The orange and blue Tigers beat Virginia Tech in the ACC-SEC Challenge last season.
Bruce Pearl recently said this would be Auburn’s toughest non-conference schedule during his tenure.
The Tigers are already set to play in the Maui Invitational this November. The 41st annual tournament will return to the historic Lahaina Civic Center Nov. 25-27, 2024. Auburn joins a field that consists of Memphis, Michigan State, UConn, Colorado, Dayton, Iowa State and North Carolina. The Tigers are guaranteed to play three games in the tournament.
Auburn returns a deep, experienced and talented roster. It will feature as much versatility as Pearl has maybe ever had during his tenure. The Tigers will be inside the Top 10 in most preseason polls. During the offseason, the Tigers added transfers Miles Kelly, JP Pegues and Ja’Heim Hudson to the roster, in addition to high school freshmen Tahaad Pettiford and Jahki Howard.
According to KenPom analytics, here are Auburn’s most recent strength of schedule ratings:
