Andy Kennedy didn’t want to disclose what he said to his team that was down 20 to Auburn at halftime, but whatever it was it certainly hit home because the Rebels erased a lethargic opening 20 minutes and a 23-point deficit to beat Auburn 90-84.
“Obviously, when you’re down as much as we were you’ve got to throw caution to the wind and put guys out there that you feel like can ignite you and that’s what we did to start the second half,” head coach Andy Kennedy said.
That proverbial spark came in the form of Terence Davis, who went 11-13 from the field and dropped 26 second-half points to energize the Rebels as the comeback made its ascent.
