Auburn men’s basketball’s SEC slate of games is set.

The league office released the Tigers’ 18-game conference slate on Tuesday afternoon, giving Auburn a look at the path it’ll take before trying to defend its SEC Tournament championship in mid-March.

Bruce Pearl and the Tigers will open conference play with a home game against the Missouri Tigers on Jan. 4, followed by appearing in their first ever away game at Texas on Jan. 6 or Jan. 7.

Auburn will play five of its first eight SEC games on the road with trips to Texas, South Carolina, Georgia, LSU and Ole Miss on deck early.

Meanwhile, the Tigers will play the Alabama Crimson Tide first in Tuscaloosa on Feb. 15, followed by hosting the rival Tide at Neville Arena on March 8 to wrap up regular season conference play. Both of those dates land on Saturdays, which will likely make for a pair of electric atmospheres for the “Iron Bowl of Basketball.”

Auburn’s non-conference schedule, SEC game times and television information will be released at a later day, according to the press release.
