AUBURN, Ala. - For Austin Wiley, the nervousness subsided as his first Auburn basketball game progressed. His mom and dad, both former Tiger hoop stars, weren’t so lucky.

“I was more nervous than he was, I think, as a father,” said Aubrey Wiley, sighing significantly in the moments after Auburn’s last-second win over Mercer Sunday. “I’m just glad he had a good game. He played well and we came out with a victory.”

“Naturally, I’m more nervous as a parent watching than I ever was as a player,” said Vickie Orr, Austin’s mother.
