Auburn basketball player Dylan Cardwell achieved a milestone, recording his first college double-double during the Tigers' non-conference finale against Monmouth.
Auburn basketball player Dylan Cardwell has become a fan favorite in Auburn . He's been a regular on the jumbotron at Jordan-Hare Stadium during football games and is well-known in the community. Cardwell has also taken on a bigger role on the basketball court as his time with the Tigers has gone along. In Auburn ’s non-conference finale against Monmouth on Monday night, Cardwell recorded the first double-double of his college career. The 6-foot-11 native of Augusta, Ga.
finished the game with 12 points, 11 rebounds, two blocks and a steal. 'I’m just grateful I was on the receiving end of a double-double after seeing so many guys before me get double-doubles,' Cardwell said. 'I’m just grateful that it was my turn. It feels great.' Cardwell was rated as a three-star recruit and was ranked the No. 173 player nationally and the No. 28 center in the class of 2020. Once Cardwell got to Auburn, it took time for him to secure a spot in the starting lineup. Cardwell made just two starts for Auburn prior to this season after playing behind big men such as JT Thor, Walker Kessler and Johni Broome throughout his time as a Tiger. Cardwell’s patience has paid off, however, and Auburn head coach Bruce Pearl complemented his ability to be a teammate. 'Dylan (Cardwell) will be as good a teammate as any player I've ever coached,' Pearl said. 'He's been a great leader. We've gotten good leadership on our team, and he can get better.' In addition to speaking highly of Cardwell’s ability to be a team player, Pearl is equally familiar with the impact he can make on the floor. Following Auburn’s win over Monmouth, Pearl highlighted an aspect of Cardwell’s game that stood out to him while guarding the Hawks’ 6-foot-7 guard Abdi Bashir Jr. 'Dylan (Cardwell) can play in the NBA because of his ability to guard anywhere in the court, like when he matched up with (Abdi) Bashir, nobody's worried about it,' Pearl said
