The Tigers, who travelled to Charlottesville as part of the SEC/ACC Challenge, were in control for most of the evening, leading by as many as 15 points late in the third quarter. The ’Hoos managed to battle back, cutting the deficit to just three midway through the fourth quarter, but Auburn slammed the door shut down the stretch with a 13-7 run over the final 4:36.
