Auburn's two forwards, Bob Ware and Charlie Woodruff, played with Birmingham Athletic Club when it defeated Yale 24 to 18 on January 1, 1906. Auburn and B. A. C. battled to a 14 to 14 tie. The rules called for sudden-death overtime, but Auburn captain Frank Jones refused to play the overtime period because he felt the referees weren't calling a fair game.Greatest Games https://auburntigers.com/news/2019/07/03/greatest-games-1 2024-08-25 Auburn Tigers - Official Athletics Website en-US Schedule no no no |- January 19, 1906 no 1906–07 men Tulane Green Wave men's basketball Tulane The Gymnasium Auburn, AL 26–7https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-birmingham-news-tulane-loses-to-aubu/151826501/ The Birmingham News Tulane loses to Auburn in basketball game January 24, 1906 July 22, 2024 Newspapers.com 1–0 February 3 yes no Montgomery Athletic Club The Gymnasium Auburn, AL 32–18https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-birmingham-news-auburn-team-defeats/151826803/ The Birmingham News Auburn team defeats Montgomery at basketball February 6, 1906 July 22, 2024 Newspapers.com 2–0 February 7 yes no Columbus YMCA 16–18 2–1 February 10 yes yes no Atlanta Athletic Club Atlanta, GA 27–17https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-atlanta-journal-auburn-boys-defeat-a/151827759/ The Atlanta Journal Auburn boys defeat Atlanta Athletics February 11, 1906 July 22, 2024 Newspapers.com 4–1 February 16 no 1906–07 men Mercer Bears men's basketball Mercer The Gymnasium Auburn, AL 62–8https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-atlanta-journal-athletics-defeat-mer/151828472/ The Atlanta Journal Athletics defeat Mercer; Auburn wins from Tech February 18, 1906 July 22, 2024 Newspapers.com 3–1 February 17 yes no 1906–07 men Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets Georgia Tech Peachtree Auditorium Atlanta, GA 26–6 5–1 March 16 yes yes no Birmingham Athletic Club Birmingham, AL 14–14https://www.newspapers.com/article/birmingham-post-herald-auburn-team-spoil/151829077/ The Birmingham Age-Herald Auburn team spoils very pretty contest March 17, 1906 July 22, 2024 Newspapers.com 5–1–1 no no Basketball 2021–22 Media Guide https://s3.amazonaws.com/auburntigers.com/documents/2022/3/4/2021_22_Auburn_MBB_Media_Guide.pdf auburntigers.com April 10, 2022 live https://web.archive.org/web/20220410121021/https://s3.amazonaws.com/auburntigers.com/documents/2022/3/4/2021_22_Auburn_MBB_Media_Guide.pdf April 10, 2022 References Category:Auburn Tigers men's basketball seasons Auburn Auburn Tigers Auburn Tigers
