Auburn to face Duke at Cameron Indoor in SEC-ACC challenge

After an SEC Tournament title-winning season, Auburn will get a trip to one of college basketball’s most storied arenas this winter.

Auburn will face Duke at Cameron Indoor Stadium in the 2024-25 season, the second year of the SEC-ACC challenge, according to a report from CBS Sports’ Jon Rothstein. The game is set for Wednesday, Dec. 4.

Auburn and Duke have played four previous times, and Duke won every matchup including two at Cameron Indoor. Auburn’s last time in Durham, North Carolina was in 1981.

Auburn faced Virginia Tech last season at Neville Arena. The Tigers won the Nov. 29 game 74-57. Center Johni Broome scored 30 points.

That was the first year of the SEC-ACC challenge which took the place of previous SEC-Big 12 matchups.

Auburn’s 2024-25 basketball schedule continues to take shape. In May, Auburn found out its SEC opponents and locations for the upcoming season, but dates of games will be announced closer to the season.

Home & Away: Alabama, Ole Miss, Georgia

Home: Arkansas, Missouri, Tennessee, Florida, Oklahoma, Mississippi State

Away: Kentucky, LSU, Vanderbilt, Texas, Texas A&M, South Carolina

The new SEC schedule including Texas and Oklahoma means a basketball schedule with fewer home and away matchups than prior years. Auburn will have two permanent home and away opponents and one rotating. For Auburn, Alabama and Georgia will be the permanent opponents and Ole Miss is this year’s rotating team.

Auburn still has several non-conference game slots to fill and those will continue to settle over the course of the summer.
