What time does Auburn basketball play in March Madness Round of 64? Here’s time, date, TV for 2025 NCAA Tournament opener.

Auburn basketball got its wish, but it came at a marginal cost. The Tigers were named the No. 1 overall seed in this year's NCAA Tournament on Sunday, but with their draw, they'll be one of four teams that must wait to find out who their first opponent is in round of 64 play.

During the selection show Sunday night, Auburn was named a 1-seed. They'll take on Alabama State or St. Francis in Lexington next week. The Tigers had a phenomenal start in the regular season, holding the No.1 spot on the Ap Top 25 for eight weeks.

HUNTSVILLE, Ala. — It's a holiday in the world of college basketball: Selection Sunday. In the first few moments of the CBS' announcement special, Auburn found out its fate, while Alabama had to wait until after the first commercial break.

Auburn is the No. 1 overall seed for the NCAA Tournament and is headed to the South Region, where coach Bruce Pearl and the Tigers will be trying to seek a little bit of retribution after a first-round ouster at the hands of Yale last season.
