Coming into this game, the Tigers were coming off a last second heartbreaking loss to Boston College in Madison Square Garden and the Tigers took their frustrations from that game out on former Auburn coach Cliff Ellis’s team, the Coastal Carolina Chanticleers.
Over the last 3 years, we have grown accustomed to seeing Auburn shoot a gaudy number of 3-pointers in the past few years and being quite successful at it too. After all, 3 > 2.
But those Tigers were unable to match what these Tigers did on this night, and that is making a program record 21 3-pointers in a game.
