Reports: Auburn men’s basketball to play Iowa State in first round of Maui Invitational
The Maui Invitational bracket is set, and Auburn will face Iowa State in the first round, according to a report by CBS Sports’ Jon Rothstein.
The other first round matchups include UConn/Memphis, Michigan State/Colorado and North Carolina/Dayton.
The game against Iowa State only bolsters Auburn’s already tough nonconference schedule. With that game, Auburn is now scheduled to each of the three highest ranked teams in Torvik’s preseason projections, the other two being Houston and Duke.
Iowa State won the Big 12 Tournament last season, earning a two-seed in the NCAA Tournament before losing to Illinois in the Sweet Sixteen.
The tournament will take place from Nov. 25-27 at the Lahaina Civic Center in Maui, Hawaii.
