The Auburn men’s basketball team is set to appear in the Final Four for the second time in program history.

The team already has a program-record 32 wins this season + hopes to add to that tally by making its first every national championship game appearance. Here’s what you need to know before Saturday:

  • Who: No. 1 Auburn Tigers (32-5) vs. No. 1 Florida Gators (34-4)
  • When: 5:09PM | Saturday, April 5
  • Where: Alamodome | San Antonio, Texas
  • Watch: CBS

The Tigers left The Plains Wednesday afternoon but before hitting the road, Auburn fans got a chance to wish the team luck ahead of the big game. See more sights from Saturday’s Reverse Tiger Walk + what it could take for you to join the trip to San Antonio.

Auburn in the Final Four

While the team is headed to Texas, there will be many Auburn fans who follow not far behind the Tigers.

If you’re still trying to decide whether or not to make the trip, you may find it difficult to get a hotel close to the arena but there are still plenty of tickets on the resale market. Here’s a look at the latest prices from different sites as of April 2:

The drive to San Antonio from Auburn is roughly 13 hours long. If you’re looking to fly, there are no direct commercial flights from our state to San Antonio but there are several options with short connections and layovers between now and Saturday.
