One of the biggest turnovers in terms of roster that we’ve seen from Bruce Pearl didn’t seem to matter much as Auburn scored a huge and relatively easy opening night victory over Morehead State tonight at Auburn Arena. The Tigers took a 77-54 victory to improve to 1-0 on the year as they beat last year’s Ohio Valley Conference Tournament champions and an NCAA Tournament participant as well.
Much of the story would focus on the newcomers — Jabari Smith, Walker Kessler, Wendell Green, Jr., and Zep Jasper — all of whom would grace the starting lineup, and they didn’t disappoint.
