Tigers of the Game: Cardwell, Broome shine in season debut

From defensive domination to an impressive debut, here are the Auburn Wire’s picks for “Tigers of the Game.” 

It was business as usual for the No. 15 Auburn Tigers on Monday, as they opened the 2022-23 campaign with a convincing 70-52 win over George Mason at Neville Arena.

The name of the game was defense, as the Tigers limited George Mason to 38% shooting from the field. Auburn also took advantage of the Patriot’s offensive blunders by scoring 21 points off of 19 George Mason turnovers.

Auburn Wire takes a look at who stood out individually in Auburn’s season-opening win. The team of Taylor Jones, J.D. McCarthy, and River Wells each share their thoughts on the game’s brightest stars.
