No. 16 Auburn pulled out the win Wednesday night over Northwestern to win the 2022 Cancun Challenge.
The Tiger’s offense went ice cold in the game, shooting just 26% from the field in the 43-42 win. A day after five Tigers scored in double figures to lead a balanced attack K.D. Johnson and Jaylin Williams were the only Tigers to do so. Johnson scored a game-high 12 points and Jaylin Williams added 11 of his own.
Auburn’s defense proved just how dangerous they can be, holding the Wildcats to 25% shooting overall and 2-of-24 from 3-point range.
The Tigers improved to 6-0 with the win and Twitter was buzzing after the win. Here are the top reactions.
