Off To See The WizardAnaheim, Calif.-Auburn's men's basketball team has accepted an invitation to play in the John R. Wooden Classic next season. The Tigers will play Stanford on Saturday, Nov. 27th at the Arrowhead Pond while Duke faces Southern California in the other half of the doubleheader.
Auburn's opponent, Stanford, is currently ranked sixth nationally. The Tigers and Cardinal have never met in men's basketball. Stanford is expected to return one of the top players in Pac-10 Conference, Mark Madsen. Stanford coach Mike Montgomery says, "John Wooden is someone that I highly admire and to be part of this tournament is a great experience for me and the team. The event has the feel of the NCAA Tournament, the organization is superb and the people involved run a first class event." Auburn Coach Cliff Ellis says, "This is a high profile early season event bringing together three of the top six teams in college basketball. We are thrilled to be invited."
