It started slowly, and things looked bleak for a while in the first half, but Auburn took control tonight over Louisiana-Monroe to take a 93-65 win at Auburn Arena to improve to 2-0 on the young season.
In a foul-filled game, Auburn took a while to get going against a team that seemed to be playing possum after falling to LSU on opening night. The Tigers’ defense didn’t seem to be quite as sharp as it was against Morehead State, and Louisiana Monroe was able to find plenty of room early to drive and score, and got every single one of Auburn’s big men in foul trouble in the first half.
