Twitter reacts to Auburn defeating UAH in exhibition game

It may have just been an exhibition game, but the Auburn fans were ecstatic about the return of Auburn basketball.

It may not count, but Auburn picked up its first win in Neville Arena this season. The Tigers took down Alabama-Huntsville 87-69 in an exhibition game Wednesday night.

[autotag]Jaylin Willaims [/autotag] made the most of his limited time, scoring 16 points. The senior was a perfect 6-of-6 from the floor and 3-of-3 from the free throw line.

[autotag]Bruce Pearl[/autotag] chose to use an interesting starting lineup to “get some other guys a chance to get their name called.”

He went with Wendell Green Jr., Zep Jasper, Chris Moore, Yohan Traore, and Dylan Cardwell.

[autotag]Allen Flannigan[/autotag] showed no rust after missing some practice time at the beginning of the offseason. He added 11 points, six rebounds, three steals, and four assists. Even more importantly he looked great athletically after battling an Achilles injury last season and never looking quite right.

While the game was not televised or streamed anywhere, the Auburn faithful were able to listen to the game and took to Twitter to celebrate the return of Auburn basketball, here are the top Tweets from the win.

Where Auburn ranks in USA TODAY’S way-too-early preseason top 25

It is never too early for a ranking.

The 2021-22 college basketball season came to a close last night with the Kansas Jayhawks winning the national championship over the North Carolina Tarheels.

With the close of that season, it is not time to focus on the 2022-23 season, and Scott Gleeson of USA TODAY released his way-too-early men’s preseason top 25 and Auburn made the cut.

He has the Tigers as his No. 21 team in his rankings. He cited the return of [autotag]K.D. Johnson[/autotag] and [autotag]Wendell Green Jr.[/autotag] for why he included Auburn.

The Tigers will lose their best player in All-American Jabari Smith, but guards K.D. Johnson and Wendell Green Jr. return in the backcourt from a team that tailed off early but was in line for a No. 1 seed in February.

Auburn finished the season 28-6 and despite winning the SEC regular-season championship lost in the second round of the NCAA tournament to Miami.

In addition to those two, Auburn will return starters [autotag]Zep Jasper[/autotag] and [autotag]Allen Flannigan[/autotag]. [autotag]Jaylin Williams[/autotag] is also expected to slide back into the starting lineup with the departures of Smith and [autotag]Walker Kessler[/autotag].

While Auburn has plenty of returning production, Bruce Pearl and the staff are working hard to add more talent. They have a commitment from five-star center Yohan  Traore, the second highest-rated commit in program history, and signed four-star wing Chance Westry and three-star point guard Tre Donaldson.
