Auburn Arena will become Neville Arena at the end of the regular season for the top-ranked Tigers men's basketball team during a dedication ceremony on March 4. There will be an on-court recognition during the finale against South Carolina the following day.

The 9,121-seat arena opened in 2010. It will be named after Bill and Connie Neville, a change approved by the board of trustees.

Bill's father and grandparents graduated from Auburn. The university did not disclose the amount of the donation.
