Auburn Tigers

Auburn ground out a win over Virginia Tech to secure their first victory in the inaugural SEC/ACC challenge.

The Tigers (5-1) were in control from tipoff, flying out to an 18-4 lead and never looked back.

It was complete domination from Broome down low tonight. A whopping 30 points, 13 rebounds, three blocks and a steal. His career high in points was 32 in a win over Murray State back in March of 2022, but Broome's performance tonight was arguably better.

Auburn hasn't seen a player go for 30+ since Jabari Smith scored 31 in a 2022 win over Vanderbilt.

Auburn's offense - which is currently in the upper echelon of the SEC statistically - struggled to shoot the basketball tonight. A mere 38.7% from the floor and a pitiful 12.5% from deep.

The defense held its own however, holding the Hokies to 27.5% shooting and 30% from beyond the arc.

The Tigers were physical, aggressive, and kept VA Tech out of rhythm the entire night.

Auburn continued to force Virginia Tech into 21 turnovers, half of which were non-steal turnovers. That near 50% non-steal turnover percentage is insanely high, and it makes the Tigers' defense more impressive.

The Tigers turned those 21 turnovers were converted into 30 (!) points. A great deal, if you ask Bruce Pearl & Co.
