The Tigers currently sit with a 13-8 overall record, having already surpassed last year’s win total. Auburn has won two SEC games, claiming back-to-back victories over Florida and Alabama at home.
Things get tougher for the Tigers as SEC play continues, starting with hosting No. 3 South Carolina on Thursday night.
The game against Ole Miss is expected to mark Auburn’s fifth consecutive game against a ranked opponent. Three other teams on the remaining schedule are also currently ranked but all of them will visit Neville Arena including:
- No. 6 LSU, Sunday, Feb. 8
- No. 23 Georgia, Monday, Feb. 23
- No. 18 Kentucky, Thursday, Feb. 26
Auburn is hoping to get enough SEC wins on its resume to make its first NCAA Tournament appearance since 2024 and just second since 2019.
