Auburn Tigers Clash with Alabama State Hornets at Neville Arena in Men's Basketball Showdown

As the Auburn Tigers prepare to host the Alabama State Hornets at Neville Arena, fans are eager to see if their team can continue its recent performance trends. The upcoming game, scheduled for December 23rd, promises to be an exciting matchup in men's basketball.

The Tigers have been on a roll lately, showcasing a strong offense and solid defense. In their last three games, they've scored an impressive 87 points against UNC Asheville and an even more remarkable 104 points against Indiana. However, they faced a setback with only 64 points in a close contest against Appalachian State.

One of the most notable aspects of Auburn's play has been their ability to control the paint. They scored half of their points inside against UNC Asheville and maintained strong two-point shooting percentages across all recent games. Their rebounding has also been dominant; particularly impressive was their haul of 48 rebounds against Appalachian State.

Defensively, the team has shown consistency as well. With steals ranging from three to nine across these games and blocks totaling ten over this span, they've managed to disrupt opponents' offenses effectively.

However, turnovers have been a mixed bag for Auburn; while they kept them exceptionally low with just three against Indiana, there were ten in the game versus Appalachian State which could indicate some inconsistency handling pressure or making decisions under duress.

Neville Arena will provide an electric atmosphere that should favor the home side. The crowd support could be pivotal for maintaining momentum during crucial stretches of play.

Fans can catch this anticipated encounter live on SEC Network+ or attend it at Neville Arena on December 23rd at 8:00 PM local time (1:00 AM UTC). It will be interesting to see if Auburn can leverage its home-court advantage and continue its offensive prowess while tightening up any loose ends from previous performances.
