Auburn is undefeated no more. The Tigers suffered their first loss of the season against the Memphis Tigers, losing 82-73 Saturday in Atlanta.
The Tigers’ defense who h has carried them throughout the season was nowhere to be found in State Farm Arena as Memphis dominated around the rim and shot 50% from the floor.
Point guard Kendric Davis was the best player on the court, scoring 27 points, grabbing nine rebounds, and dishing out six assists in a statement performance.
Auburn’s offense was unable to crack the Memphis defense and was never able to get into a rhythm. Auburn shot just 38.1% from the field and was 6-of-24 from deep.
While it was undeniably a bad loss and some concern is warranted, Auburn is still 8-1 on the season and will have a chance to rebound Wednesday when they host Georgia State.
