Auburn basketball fans better bring out a map and find where Storrs, Connecticut is, as the Tigers have agreed to a home-and-home series with the Connecticut Huskies starting this season.
The Tigers will travel to the Northeast this season and play on December 23 while the Huskies will travel to the Plains during the 2017-18 season. It will be the second game Auburn will play in Connecticut in three days as it takes on Oklahoma two days earlier in the Hall of Fame’s “Birthday of Basketball” game in Uncasville.
These will be two marquee games for incoming freshman Mustapha Heron, a 5-star signee from Waterbury, Connecticut.
