Muschalek provides spark for Auburn after earning playing time with defense

If you saw Blake Muschalek in the game for Auburn last season, you knew that the Tigers had a huge lead late in the game, as the rarely-used reserve spent the majority of his time cheering on the Tigers from the sidelines.

This year is a totally different story for the Dallas native, who has seen 28 minutes of playing time, including 12 on Wednesday night against Jackson State, as he has been a contributor to Steven Pearl's first squad on the Plains.

From what Pearl said after the 112-66 victory on Wednesday, Muschalek earned the minutes through his effort on the defensive side of the court.
