"It is always great to get that television exposure and we are really excited about what the fans will see out of Auburn basketball this season," said head coach Nell Fortner. "We have all of our starters coming back from last year's team and an exciting freshman class, so we are looking forward to getting the season started."

The Auburn portion of the schedule includes three games on CSS, one on Fox Sports Net, one on ESPN2 and one on the SEC Network.
