Auburn Tigers Defeat Eastern Kentucky Colonels 85-64

Another night, another big game for Auburn's freshmen.

Danjel Purifoy had an excellent night, again, but tonight's game against Eastern Kentucky belonged to Mustapha Heron. The former 5* recruit finished with 24 points and 10 on the night, and a lot of them were hard fought going to the glass, for his first double-double. He powered his way through and abused some of Eastern Kentucky's smaller players to spark the Auburn offense at a time when it really needed it.

Things started off well for Auburn, as the Tigers opened up the game with a 10-2 lead.
