Auburn coach Bruce Pearl has "avoided a potential disaster" with the changes made to the roster this off-season.

AUBURN -- Bruce Pearl announced his first complete non-conference schedule at Auburn on Wednesday.

The only game not previously reported, against Division II North Alabama, will be at 4 p.m. Jan. 3.

Auburn will face Division II West Alabama in an exhibition at 8:30 p.m. Nov. 7.

The Tigers will play eight non-conference games at home, three on the road and two in Las Vegas as part of the MGM Main Event on Nov. 24 & 26.

Game times for the season opener with Wisconsin-Milwaukee, Auburn's second game at the MGM Main Event, which is contingent on whether they win or loss against Tulsa in the opening game, and the road game at Clemson, are still to be announced.

Ticket sales are going very well since Pearl's arrival, with Auburn adding 30 new court seats this season.
