The Tigers hung around with the Wildcats throughout the game and used a 6-for-10 3-point shooting performance to propel themselves to victory in the second half. Junior guard Kareem Canty poured in 26 points while senior forward Tyler Harris put together a double-double with 21 points and 11 rebounds.
Bruce Pearl scored his best win at Auburn on Saturday evening and it will surely be a game Auburn fans won’t quickly forget.
