Tip-Off Countdown: #90 Auburn 70 Connecticut 67 OT

When Auburn scheduled a Home & Home with UConn before the 2016-2017 season, I was excited to see Bruce schedule a Four Time National Champion. It was another step in the plan to make the men’s basketball program relevant.

After a Jared Harper 3 to start the game, the Huskies would lead the remainder of the first half but a 3 from T.J. Lang with 40 seconds to go would put Auburn within 1 at halftime with the score 31-30.

As it did in the first half, this game remained a 1-2 possession game throughout the 2nd half as the teams went back and forth trading the lead.
