After a disappointing loss to the 10th ranked team in the country, the Auburn Tigers men’s basketball team will have the chance to pick up a few quality wins during the Hawaiian Airlines Diamond Head Classic in Honolulu, Hawaii. They’ll start the tournament off against the 7-3 New Mexico Lobos.
Two years ago the Lobos had a remarkable 27-7 season, won the Mountain West Tournament and made it to the NCAA Tournament. However, the program took a step back last year as they compiled a 15-16 record and were bounced in the first round of the Mountain West Tournament.
