After going just 7-34 from downtown in the loss on Monday to UCF, Auburn answered back tonight in spades, setting a school record with 22 threes and taking care of South Alabama in the home opener 90-81.
The win gives the Tigers their second victory of the season, and they’ll have more than a week off before taking on Memphis next Saturday night. Justin Powell got the start at point guard and led the way tonight for Auburn, with 26 points on 7-9 shooting from outside, while four other Tigers joined him in double digits. Powell also added 8 assists in the win.
