AUBURN, Ala. — Mustapha Heron says his game plan is to be aggressive and have fun. He accomplished both for the Auburn basketball team Friday night.

The freshman scored 26 points to lead a new wave of Tigers to a 96-68 win over Division II Montevallo in an exhibition game in Auburn Arena. The Tigers' four freshmen combined for 57 points, and freshmen and sophomores combined to score 39 of Auburn's 43 second-half points.

"There are some really, really talented young men that have a chance to be really good players," coach Bruce Pearl.
