Auburn men’s basketball is coming off their 14th win at home as they thwarted an early rush by Vanderbilt on Wednesday.
After the Tigers fell behind 11-0 to the Commodores, it was the Jabari Smith takeover. He posted a career-high 31 points and was absolutely deadly from beyond the arc. It wasn’t just Smith in the rally, Walker Kessler once again made his presence known. He would pour in a career-high 22 points while swatting another six shots.
It showed that despite falling early, you likely will run out of gas by the end of it with Auburn. The team is extremely deep and talented across the board. Even when players get into foul trouble, the next man off the bench can contribute.
