The Auburn Tigers' season is not over just yet.
After being one of the first four teams to not make the NCAA Tournament, the Auburn Tigers have elected to accept an NIT bid.
Auburn was named the top seed in the NIT, and will have home court advantage throughout the first three rounds of the tournament.
Auburn will host South Alabama in the opening round of the tournament on Tuesday, March 17. Tipoff is set for 9 p.m. CT, and ESPN2 will carry the television broadcast.
If Auburn wins against South Alabama, it will take on the winner of Seattle and St. Thomas.
Auburn finished No. 38 in the NET, Oklahoma finished No. 48, San Diego State finished No. 47 and Indiana finished No. 41.
Auburn beat the Texas Longhorns on Jan. 28 to extend its winning streak to four games after beating the Florida Gators on the road for its signature win of the season.
From that point forward, Auburn dropped seven of its next eight contests. When the regular season came to a close, the Tigers had a 16-15 record to their name and ended conference play 7-11.
All was not lost for the Tigers, however, as a solid showing in the SEC Tournament could have put them over the hump.
Auburn beat the Mississippi State Bulldogs 79-61 in the first round, advancing to the second round to face off against the Tennessee Volunteers.
It had a chance to earn a victory in that game, and that win likely would have been all it needed to secure a spot in the NCAA Tournament.
If Auburn makes it to the Final Four of the NIT, it will play at Hinkle Fieldhouse in Indianapolis. The NIT title game will be held at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, also in Indianapolis.
This will be the first time since 2009 that Auburn has competed in the NIT.
