It had been quite some time since Auburn had met another team with both sides of the equation on 7-game winning streaks. Tonight, Murray State came into Auburn Arena for the final tilt in a three-game series and the Tigers took it to the Racers from start to finish.
Auburn won 71-58, with Wendell Green, Jr. and Jabari Smith notching double-doubles, and the Tigers controlled the glass with a 48-33 rebounding edge and an 11-1 block advantage. With the win, Bruce Pearl’s team finishes up the non-conference portion of the schedule at 11-1, with the lone loss coming to UConn in the Bahamas.
