Auburn earned a win in its competitive game of the season Sunday afternoon
Peter Rauterkus | [email protected]“It‘s a 20-point road win,” Pearl said. “This is a team that would be like, say, App State, and we went to App State last year and got beat. And so, from that standpoint, I’m pleased with the outcome.”
Arguably the most notable performance of the day, though, came from freshmen Tahaad Pettiford. In his first game action with Auburn, he scored 13 points and knocked down two early 3-pointers. “You could see the talent the freshmen have,” Pearl said. “You can see that Jahki and Tahaad have some real quickness, some real athleticism. They‘re both really good right now and they’re both gonna be really good.”
