Tigers of the Game: A trio of offensive weapons create headache for Colgate

Auburn’s well-rounded, dominating effort over Colgate provided a challenge for the staff at Auburn Wire when choosing a “Tiger of the Game.”

The No. 19 Auburn Tigers quickly put last week’s shooting woes behind them by shooting 55% from the field in Friday’s 93-66 win over Colgate at Neville Arena.

Auburn’s scoring output was almost even between its’ starters and bench players. Auburn’s starters combined to score 49 points while the reserves added a whopping 44 to the total.

Three-point shooting saw a significant bump as well, as Auburn connected on a season-high ten against Colgate. Defensively, Auburn limited Colgate to 44% shooting, recorded ten steals, and pulled down 26 defensive rebounds.

With so Tigers contributing in a myriad of ways, it becomes difficult to spot one player who made a difference in the game. But, hey, we are not complaining.

Here is a look at who writers Taylor JonesJ.D. McCarthy, and River Wells voted for as their “Tigers of the Game” following Auburn’s win over Colgate.
