NASHVILLE, Tenn. u2015 Bruce Pearl is taking Auburn on the road for the second time this season Saturday to a big venue that will just happen to play host to the Southeastern Conference basketball tournament later this season.
Auburn plays Middle Tennessee State at noon Saturday in 19,000-seat Bridgestone Arena, where the Tigers won three straight tournament games last year and, with a lot of new players this season, will get an early look at the place where it will play again in March. Saturday's task will be different against defensive-minded Middle Tennessee, a non-conference opponent.
