AUBURN, Ala. - What's wrong with a little more Chuma?
Nothing, if you're an Auburn basketball fan.
Bruce Pearl asked the question, rhetorically, on Monday, explaining Auburn's strategy in the wake of a key injury.
Okeke delivered a double-double, a career-high 16 points and 10 rebounds, in No. 12 Auburn's 90-71 win Wednesday over Alabama.
Already shorthanded after Anfernee McLemore's season-ending ankle injury, Auburn faced its in-state rival without second-leading scorer Mustapha Heron, sidelined with stomach flu.
Jared Harper scored 21 points and added six assists, while Malik Dunbar, starting in Heron's place, contributed 14 points and seven rebounds.
