Despite Early Lead, Auburn Fails to Pick up Win on Senior Night

Auburn led by as many as 11 points in the first half and was tied at halftime, but Texas A&M dominated the second half on the way to an 81-63 victory to spoil Auburn’s Senior night.

Auburn (11-18) heads to Mississippi State on Saturday for their final game, while Texas A&M (23-7, 12-5) will host Vanderbilt with the ability to clinch the SEC title with a win.

Auburn got the good start that I said they would need. It was boosted by Texas A&M’s poor shooting in the first half, especially from deep. Texas A&M finished the first half shooting just 34 percent from the field and 0-10 from three-point range.
