AUBURN, Ala. u2015 Kareem Canty's 3s were a thing of beauty. Cinmeon Bowers' man-sized 20-point, 18-rebound double-double was an eye-opener.
Auburn's sweep of Kentucky and Alabama in the last week, built on performances such as those, had its offensive moments, but don't forget about the Tigers' defensive play.
Coach Bruce Pearl hasn't.
Auburn heads to a Saturday 7 p.m. game at Florida talking about a lineup that has overcome injuries and adapted with a shorten defensive-minded bench.
"Our team is becoming a better team defensively… that gives you a chance to be more competitive on the road," Pearl said on Friday.
