The Auburn basketball team went 2-1 this past weekend, beating both Indiana State and Hofstra to claim third place in the Charleston Classic. Sophomore guard Mustapha Heron led the way with 22 points in Sunday’s finale, but it was a group-effort throughout the tournament.
“We’re a young team, but we have energy and we’re deep,” Heron said. “We have two guys at every position, so we can do anything. I see a great future for this team.”
It was the first time since 2002 that Auburn finished third or higher in a preseason tournament.
