After a poor shooting effort in their last meeting with Tennessee, the Auburn Tigers knew that a solid offensive output would be needed in order to defeat the visiting No. 14 Volunteers on Saturday.
Auburn did just that by improving their shooting to from 24% to 49% in the rematch which was instrumental in the 79-70 win.
Four Tigers contributed heavily to their team’s offensive success. [autotag]Wendell Green Jr[/autotag]., [autotag]Johni Broome[/autotag], [autotag]Allen Flanigan[/autotag], and [autotag]Jaylin Williams[/autotag] combined to score 70 of Auburn’s 79 points on Saturday and combined to make 52% of their shots.
Outside of shooting, those four were assets on the defensive side of the ball as well by pulling down 18 of the team’s 29 rebounds and blocking five shots.
With so many viable candidates, it was quite difficult selecting a Tiger of the Game.
Here’s a look at who Auburn Wire writers Taylor Jones, J.D. McCarthy, and River Wells, as well as Auburn fans, voted for as their Tiger of the Game following Auburn’s win over Alabama.
