AUBURN, Ala. u2015 Bruce Pearl warned one and all that Division II Indianapolis would give his Auburn basketball a real test in Thursday's final exhibition game.

The visiting Greyhounds did not disappoint.

Auburn beat Indianapolis 114-109 in overtime in a game that featured 90 free throw attempts and 55 3-point attempts and, mostly, the Tigers were OK with the tough test on the way to the season-opener against UAB on Nov. 13.

"We feel more confident we actually won that game. We needed that," said Auburn guard Kareem Canty, who led the Tigers with 24 points.
