GAME RECAP: Auburn 67, UNC Asheville 41
John Reed-USA TODAY SportsAuburn took a little while to get going, but a strong start to the second half resulted in an easy 67-41 victory over UNC Asheville at Auburn Arena on Tuesday night as the Tigers improved to 7-1 overall.
At halftime, it was just 33-18 Auburn after a half during which the Tigers shot just 37% overall and 4-16 from three, but the defense had been fantastic and forced the Bulldogs into 12 turnovers to go along with 8 blocks. Austin Wiley had a near-perfect half with 8 points on 3-3 shooting (2-3 from the foul line), and the 15-point lead was much larger than it actually appeared.
