Auburn Tigers Clash with Colgate Raiders at Neville Arena in Men's Basketball Showdown

The Tigers have shown a mixed bag of results in their last few outings. In a nail-biting face-off against the Billikens, they secured a victory with 65 points over their opponent's 60. This win was characterized by strong defensive play, resulting in 11 blocks and an assist-to-turnover ratio slightly below one. However, shooting from beyond the arc was less impressive, with only an eighteen percent success rate.


In contrast, during their championship game against Northwestern Wildcats at Hard Rock Hotel Riviera Maya in Cancun – which could be considered a neutral site – the Tigers managed only 43 points but eked out another win by just one point. Their field goal percentage dipped alarmingly low to twenty-six percent and three-point shots were successful less than twenty-four percent of the time.


However, it seems that playing on home turf brings out the best in Auburn as evidenced by their commanding performance against Bradley Braves where they tallied up an impressive 85 points. They shot over fifty-six percent from the field and seventy-five percent from free-throw line while maintaining an assist-to-turnover ratio above one.


The upcoming game is crucial for Auburn as they aim to capitalize on their home-court advantage and improve upon areas such as three-point shooting accuracy and overall offensive consistency.


Fans can catch all the action live on SEC Network+ or head down to Neville Arena on December 3rd at 1:00 AM local time (UTC) for what promises to be an exciting match-up filled with strategic plays and high-energy basketball.
