For the first time in the last three years, the Iron Bowl of basketball did not end in a sweep.
Auburn made sure to defend home court on Wednesday behind a rowdy Jungle at Neville Arena.
After a back-and-forth first 15 minutes, forwards Johni Broome and Jaylin Williams took over. The duo finished with 50 of Auburn’s 99 total points in the game, most impressively scoring the final 12 of the first half.
The Tigers’ 99-point performance was impressive, but the real story was the defensive tenacity of [autotag]Johni Broome[/autotag] and guards [autotag]K.D. Johnson[/autotag] and [autotag]Chris Moore[/autotag].
Broome in particular was dominant again on the defensive end. The junior has now collected 21 blocks over his last five games.
