Auburn holds off Mercer, 78-71

Boy, did Mercer come to play. Of course, Auburn did its best to remind everyone that it's Nail-Biter U in seemingly every sport these days. But what's important is that it came away with a win in the last home game for a couple of weeks. Unfortunately, a one of Auburn's starters might be unavailable for a while, too.

What happened?

1st 10 minutes

The game started off a bit slow, but more importantly, TJ Lang left after having his ankle rolled over. Shortly after, Tahj Shamsid-Deen made his return after his shoulder injury. Auburn just cannot stay healthy early this season.
