Auburn men's basketball bounced back after losing to Florida, avoiding a trap game versus Vanderbilt
Winning on the road in the Southeastern Conference is hard. Doing so against an unpredictable Vanderbilt team in Memorial Gymnasium after a tough loss is an underrated challenge that Auburn conquered Tuesday night.
The win over Vanderbilt wasn’t a perfect performance, but a double-digit win at Memorial Gymnasium won’t be taken for granted by anyone in the Auburn locker room. The Tigers started hot, opening the game on a 15-0 run, but found themselves trailing early in the second half. “Denver Jones had an unbelievable first half, just carrying us. Bounce-back game from the last one‚” Pearl said on Auburn’s postgame radio show. “Second half, Chaney Johnson absolutely took over. Mike Burgomaster dialed up some really good looks. But at the end of the day, all it was, was the wisdom to recognize Chaney had the advantage on the inside. He took advantage of it.”
