Auburn schedules exhibition game against Alabama for October

Auburn will compete in a preseason exhibition game against Alabama on Thursday, October 22, at Legacy Arena in Birmingham. The matchup continues the rivalry known as the 'Iron Bowl of Basketball,' which has seen Alabama winning the last three encounters, each decided by 12 points or fewer. Auburn will also play Florida State earlier in October. Both teams are set to benefit financially from the exhibition, with payments contingent on a full house at the 17,000-seat venue. The teams aim to bolster their rosters in anticipation of the season ahead.
