This is the 4th all-time meeting between the programs. The last meeting was the opening game at Auburn Arena, a 70-69 Bulldogs win. Auburn leads the all-time series 2-1.
Point blank: the Bulldogs, out of the Big South Conference, are not good. While they won the regular season title in the Big South last year, they’re off to a 1-6 start to this season under first year coach Mike Morrell. They are averaging just 56.7 points a game, which is in the bottom 5 of all Division 1 teams. For comparison, Auburn sits 10th in the country at 89.
