Auburn showed no signs of faltering in its second exhibition game in Israel.
The Tigers defeated the Israeli All-Star Select Team by a score of 107-71 on Sunday. The All-Star Select team was made up of players aged 20 to 34 and also included two former college basketball players in Chris Smith (Louisville) and Tony Mitchell (North Texas).
While [autotag]Yohan Traore[/autotag] showed a dominant performance in the team’s previous game, he managed to upstage himself with a phenomenal performance against the All-Star Select team. Traore ended the day with 20 points and two rebounds and finished by shooting a staggering 75 percent from the field, proving himself to be a potential force to be reckoned with in the coming months for Auburn.
He wasn’t the only newcomer that made an impact, though. Transfer [autotag]Johni Broome[/autotag] also managed to shine, finishing the game with 18 points, four rebounds and three blocks. Four Auburn players scored 15 points or more in the exhibition game en route to the 36-point victory.
