The No. 13-seeded Auburn Tigers are set to start their NCAA Tournament run Friday when they take on the Penn Quakers in Plainsman Park. If you’re wondering how you can watch the action live, you’ve come to the right place.
Auburn (34-21-1) is hosting a regional for the second-straight season and is an impressive 23-9-1 at home this season.
“We’ve played well at this stage, but they have to go make their own,” head coach Butch Thompson said. “I’m just glad to get the opportunity. I’m glad to put it all back on the line because that means we’re still playing.”
The Quakers (32-14) won the Ivy League regular season and tournament championship to make their first NCAA Tournament since 1995. They are currently riding an eight-game winning streak.
