  • The Tigers shot 53% from the field and 42% from three, rebounding from poor shooting in their first exhibition.
  • Keyshawn Hall led a balanced attack with 20 points on 7-for-14 shooting, including two made threes.
  • The matchup in Atlanta was the second of Auburn’s two preseason exhibitions, enabled by this year’s expanded NCAA allowance.
  • The game streamed exclusively on WarEagle+, with Auburn now turning to Monday’s regular-season opener against Bethune-Cookman.
