AMES, Iowa (AP) — The Iowa State men’s basketball team will host Auburn in the inaugural Big 12/SEC Challenge on Dec. 2. The Cyclones and Tigers will meet for just the third time. Iowa State beat Auburn 79-60 in the second round of the NCAA tournament in 2000.

Auburn finished 9-23 and just 3-15 in the SEC last season. Iowa State won 23 games and advanced to the third round of the NCAA tournament for the second year in a row. Iowa State will also host Iowa and Michigan in non-conference play next season and face Northern Iowa on a neutral floor.
