The Tigers were the talk of the town on Selection Sunday with their 17-16 record. Claiming the nation’s best win in Florida on Jan. 24, Auburn did everything in its power to make its way into the NCAA Tournament. Instead, the team had to settle for the NIT.
Auburn has taken care of business against South Alabama, Seattle U, Nevada and Illinois State en route to the championship game against Tulsa.
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel also confirmed that Wisconsin’s game against Auburn on Dec. 19 will take place at Bridgestone Arena. Auburn typically plays its home games at Neville Arena, which is about a five-hour drive from the home of the Nashville Predators.
Although Wisconsin is coming off a disappointing tournament loss, Greg Gard isn’t pulling any punches. This is another high-profile non-conference game he added to the team’s schedule. For what it’s worth, this is only the second all-time meeting between these two teams.
