Friday 11/7/14 8:30 pm @Auburn Arena vs W Alabama. Only a few standing room tickets are still available. I can't find a video feed but AuburnTigers.com has free audio of the game.

My best guess at the starting lineup for tomorrow night.

PG-Tahj
G-Mason
G-Harrell
F-Granger
F-Bowers

Yep it will but that's a trade off for an exciting coach and a little promise.. I'll wait happily lol

Everytime I would show up to a bball game we would find someone offering scholarship tickets for free. Watching us lose in the student section < watching us lose in nice seats #BarbeeEra

I like it, but Pearl said Tahj was playing off the ball this year. Replace Tahj with Ross-Miller and you have my best guess.

You could be right, but based on all i've read we'll be playing 4 guards and a center instead of 3 guards and 2 big men

It's an exhibition game, and there's standing-room only...this is a good sign. I've been wondering if it's a good thing to have a football game on the same weekend as a b-ball game? Will fans want to attend both while in town, or have the energy/time for only one?

Do you think Bruce will play the starters all the way through, or let the less-experienced players get time once we go up by 20+?

When's the last time an Auburn Basketball team could do this?

I've heard the same and you could be right. I just feel early in the season with so many new faces Pearl will try to get guys who have played together on the court together.

We will go small a lot but this is just my best guess at the starting 5 tomorrow night.

We've done it in preseason games either one or both of the last two years. I just hope people don't go overboard if we win by 30-40 points Friday.

Barbee learned his lesson and quit scheduling powerhouse D2 programs like Columbus St. for exhibitions.

The only ones expending a significant amount of energy at games are the students. I promise there will be enough students there.

You have to remember that only 10% of the football crowd has to go to the B-ball game for it to be full too.

This is true, and most games occur after football season anyway.

I hope we play well tomorrow. It's exciting just thinking about seeing the team play under Pearl.

Very excited to see how this goes and can't wait to see my first b-ball game in AU in almost a decade
