Tigers of the Game: Green, Williams shine in defeat

Auburn was in control for most of their game against No. 3 Alabama. Wendell Green Jr. and Jaylin Williams were key reasons why.

Auburn suffered a tough defeat at the hands of No. 3 Alabama on Saturday. The Tigers led for more than 3/4 of the game, but a late run by the Crimson Tide resulted in them jumping ahead and earning the 77-69 win on Saturday in Neville Arena.

Auburn had plenty of upside in the loss, however. Auburn made 85% of its free throws, they out-rebounded Alabama, and three players reached double-figures in points.
