The Auburn Tigers once again came up just short on the road, falling to the Vanderbilt Commodore 67-65 Saturday night in Memorial Gymnasium.
K.D. Johnson drained a 3-pointer with 10 seconds left to tie the game at 65 with 10 seconds to play but the Tiger’s defense was unable to stop Vanderbilt’s Ezra Manjon, who made a tough layup to win the game at the buzzer.
Auburn (18-9, 8-6 SEC) was unable to keep Liam Robbins off the free-throw line. He went 17-of-20 to lead the Commodores to victory. Auburn took just 10 free throws as a team and only made five.
Johni Broome and Jaylin Williams both had big performances but the rest of the Tigers struggled to score. Broome (20) and Williams (17) combined for 37 points as the rest of the team scored just 28 points on 11-of-35 shooting.
With Auburn dropping yet another close game, plenty of fans took to Twitter to react to the game. Here are the top reactions.
Another close conference game goes down to the wire. Another tough loss. Just an objectively bad showing from the guards tonight. This team can be so damn frustrating because it’s not often all the pieces are clicking at the same time. Hell of a game by Johni and Jaylin.

Auburn just can’t score the basketball. They fall to 18-9 tonight, and with road trips to Kentucky and Bama and a home game against Tennessee left on the schedule, they’ve basically worked their way out of the tournament and onto the bubble right now.
Could easily finish 19-12.

Auburn just lost at Vandy.
