With a winning season already secured for the 2016-17 season, Auburn basketball continues its quest for a 20-win season, the first since the 2008-09 campaign. Auburn faces Arkansas at home with Georgia and Missouri on the road to finish the regular season. It is hoped that as the season comes to a close, Auburn will come away with wins against the Bulldogs and Tigers, yet there exists a roadblock with the Razorbacks.
Arkansas is coming off a win against Texas A&M 86-77. Auburn lost earlier in the season to the Aggies 81-62 as a product of poor consistency.
