This was not the preseason matchup we expected it to be.
Auburn (7-1) schedule Yale (5-5) with the hopes that the Bulldogs would be able to provide a challenge to Auburn, but the Tigers ran away with it early and held on late.
Yale shot a poor 32.3% from the floor, and had 11 turnovers, which Auburn cashed in for 17 points. The defensive intensity was certainly there for Auburn for the fourth straight game in a row. This team works so hard. Jabari Smith had another excellent game, scoring 17 points, grabbing seven rebounds, and dishing out two assists.
Here are five takeaways from Auburn’s win over Yale.
