Auburn-Vanderbilt basketball free live stream (1/31): How to watch online, TV, time
The No. 16-ranked Auburn Tigers host Vanderbilt in an SEC matchup on Wednesday, Jan. 31, in what is expected to be the team’s 50th straight sellout. The game will be live streamed on DirecTV Stream (free trial) and fuboTV (free trial).
After consecutive road losses at Alabama and Mississippi State, Auburn returns to Neville Arena Wednesday to host Vanderbilt, a team the Tigers defeated 80-65 in Nashville on Jan. 17 during Auburn’s 11-game winning streak.
“They’re a good team,” Auburn Bruce Pearl said of the Commodores. “They’re capable. They’ve got some dynamic players in transition. They’re a dangerous team because they’ve got two great guards. There will be fewer possessions in the Vanderbilt game because they’re going to run a lot of clock.
“(Vanderbilt coach Jerry Stackhouse) has a great offensive mind. He’s one of the better offensive coaches in the league and his kids play hard defensively.”
In their first meeting two weeks ago, Auburn’s Jaylin Williams enjoyed a perfect shooting night, scoring 21 points by going 7 of 7 from the floor and 5 of 5 from the free-throw line.
When is Auburn-Vanderbilt?
The Auburn men’s basketball team faces Vanderbilt at 8 p.m. (9 p.m. ET) on Wednesday, Jan. 31.
