After a 4-2 start to SEC play, the Tigers took a break from SEC play to play in their first SEC/Big 12 Challenge game in 3 years. For the first time ever, Auburn welcomed Iowa State to the Plains.
The Cyclones were led by Tyrese Haliburton who like Isaac Okoro is expected to be a lottery pick in tomorrow night’s NBA Draft.
While Auburn had struggled at shooting 3s during SEC play, Auburn got off to a hot start from 3-point line in this one.
Isaac Okoro would knock one down to get the Tigers started and then was followed by J’Von McCormick, Anfernee McLemore and Samir Doughty in the game’s first 4 1⁄2 minutes as Auburn led 12-6 early.
