K.D. Johnson scored 16 points, Jaylin Williams and Chris Moore both had 14, and No. 13 Auburn defeated Texas Southern 72-56 on Friday night.
AUBURN, Ala. —
Auburn got off to a slow start offensively, shooting 35.5% from the field and only scoring 29 points in the first half against a tough Texas Southern defense. But Auburn’s offense came alive in the second half, with Moore scoring 11 of his 14 points and not missing a single shot. The visiting Tigers were led in scoring by Joirdon Karl Nicholas’ 13 points. Davon Barnes added 12 points, while PJ Henry had 11.
That hasn’t seemed to bother the energetic junior guard, who scored eight of Auburn’s first 12 points and had another eight-point surge after halftime to lead all scorers.
