From the sounds of it, Auburn came out on the losing end of a very strange game in the Chicago Invitational in Hoffman Estates, Ill., tonight.

Here were some of the high ... err, lowlights:

• Dayton went 0-for-24 on 3-pointers. Read that again. I don't think I've ever heard of that happening in a basketball game before, let alone for the winning team.

• The Flyers (5-0) weren't the only ones who struggled from outside. The Tigers (3-2) were 0-for-12 from 3-point range in the first half. They managed to go 7-for-19 in the second half.

• Auburn's downfall was -- surprise -- rebounding and free throws. Dayton held a 60-43 advantage on the boards and the Tigers were 12-for-26 from the free throw line. Ouch. I feel like this is going to be a season-long problem.
  

• DeWayne Reed scored 22 points to lead Auburn.

• Auburn plays tonight at 5:30 p.m. EST against Northern Iowa in the final game of the tournament.
