Auburn men’s basketball will face SEC newcomers Texas and Oklahoma once each, as Auburn’s opponents for the 2024-25 basketball season were announced Monday by the SEC.

Below is the full list of Auburn’s opponents:

Home & Away: Alabama, Ole Miss, Georgia

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

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

No dates for the games have been announced. Those will likely come closer to the fall.

SEC play will begin on Jan. 4, 2025, and end on March 8.

“Each SEC team plays the other 15 teams at least once during league play,” the SEC wrote in a press release. “Three teams will be played a second time during the schedule – two which are permanent opponents and one that will change each year. The continuation and renewal of historic rivalries was a point of emphasis when creating the schedule as the SEC welcomes Oklahoma and Texas as new members in 2024-25. Additionally, preexisting home-and-away rotations for single-play opponents were preserved.”

In its history, Auburn has played the two SEC newcomers five total times. Auburn’s first faced Texas in 1911 in Auburn. Auburn won 45-27. Auburn lost to Texas in 1955, also played in Auburn.

Auburn has faced Oklahoma three times and won twice. Auburn won 78-70 in St. Petersburg, Florida, in 1978. It then lost to Oklahoma 107-87 in Atlanta in 1988 during the second round of that year’s NCAA Tournament. The two didn’t play again until 2022 when Auburn won 86-68 at Neville Arena. Jabari Smith led Auburn with 23 points and 12 rebounds in that game.

Auburn has high expectations entering this season with the return of star center Johni Broome for his final year of eligibility. Auburn convinced him to return to Auburn in lieu of pursuing the NBA Draft.

Auburn has also added JP Pegues, a transfer point guard from Furman and former All-SoCon player who scored more than 18 points per game last season. His arrival helps offset the transfer departures of Tre Donaldson, Aden Holloway and K.D. Johnson. Auburn also is adding incoming freshman five-star guard Tahaad Pettiford. It is still searching for another guard and another forward in the transfer portal to fill its remaining open scholarship spots.

Last season, Auburn went 13-5 in the SEC and got the No. 4 seed in the SEC Tournament. Auburn went on to win the SEC Tournament, its fourth overall SEC title under head coach Bruce Pearl.
