Auburn routed by Tennessee, 81-55
The Auburn Tigers were no match for the host No. 10 Tennessee Volunteers in an ugly, 81-55 loss.
Surprisingly, it was still a game at halftime. Auburn actually trailed by just one at the break, but the second half was a whole different story.
Tennessee head coach Bruce Pearl said he thought Auburn stunned them early on with their energy, and it took awhile to combat it.
DeWayne Reed led the Tigers with 19 points while Frankie Sullivan added 14. The Tigers managed just 18 second-half points.
Auburn got off to a hot start from behind the three-point arc, an area where they normally do not excel. Needless to say, they cooled off in the second half.
