“No sleep till Brooklyn, no sleep till Brooklyn!” -Beastie Boys
Today, we’re going to look back at both games of Auburn’s trip to Brooklyn for the Legends Classic. First up for the 5-0 Tigers was New Mexico.
The story of the first half of this game was Auburn’s defense as the Tigers forced 12 turnovers, and held the Lobos to just 24 1st half points.
A 16-0 Auburn run over a 6 minute stretch midway through the 1st half turned a 14-9 deficit into a 25-14 lead. Anfernee McLemore hit 2 3s during the run and Allen Flanigan finished the run with a breakaway slam.
