For most of the season, it has been Auburn’s defense leading them to victory. That was not the case Friday night as the Tigers caught fire against Colgate, crushing the Patriots 93-66 in Neville Arena.
The Tigers improved to 8-0 with the big win and showcased their impressive depth. Eight different Tigers scored eight or more points and four finished in double digits. K.D. Johnson led the way with 16 points behind an impressive 4-of-5 shooting from behind the arc.
The Tigers made a season-high 10 3-pointers and shot 55% from the floor to set a new season high in points.
Their defense also impressed, the Tigers blocked eight shots and had 10 steals as they held Colgate to their worst offensive performance of the season. Here is how Twitter reacted to the dominant win.
Auburn Basketball. Welcome To The Jungle.

I feel like my “sitting in the student section of an Auburn basketball game crowd” experience does not measure up to what it’s like nowadays…

KD Johnson is feeling it tonight.
He drilled a tough three with a hand in his face and then threw an oop to Allen Flanigan off the backboard on the next play. pic.twitter.com/70pHxSUbBS

Allen Flanigan is doing a great job of playing within himself this season. Confident, clearly healthy, and seems to be accepting whatever his role is in stride.
