AUBURN, Ala. – Auburn basketball is about to say goodbye to Beard-Eaves-Memorial Coliseum.
The Tigers play their final game in the 42-year-old arena Wednesday night against Mississippi State. They move to Auburn Arena for next season.
Auburn will celebrate with a video montage of coliseum highlights. Wally Tinker made the first basket in the facility in 1969 against LSU and Pete Maravich. After the game, he’ll make the final one.
