Auburn forward Chris Moore has not practiced this week, head coach Bruce Pearl said, and he's not expected to practice Friday — one day before the Tigers' matchup with Mississippi
On Tuesday, Moore was sidelined early in No. 21 Auburn's 82-73 win at Ole Miss, and did not return. Pearl said postgame that Moore appeared to separate his shoulder.
People are also reading… In his place, it'll likely be forward Allen Flanigan. Although he averages more minutes per game this season than Moore, Flanigan has largely provided play off the bench. He's been on a tear of late, too, averaging 14.7 points per game in Auburn's three latest contests. “Third-year Wendell. Third-year Johni. Fourth-year Al,” the Auburn head coach said. “Veterans. That's the kind of guys you've got on the road.”
According to Flanigan, the post-Georgia loss turnaround was something that started soon after the return home from Athens. As much as Flanigan could lead vocally, he’s led by example in the Tigers’ past three contests. While he’s averaging 8.6 points per game this year, Flanigan has averaged 14.7 points and 5.3 rebounds in Auburn’s three latest contests. He’s been efficient while reaching that scoring average, too, shooting 51.6% from the field. And he has only logged two turnovers in 44 minutes during that span.
That was quite the contrary to his previous road performance, in which he was 2-of-12 with seven points against Georgia.
