Men's hoops: Auburn 73, Arkansas 51

The Auburn men's team pulled off a huge road win Saturday afternoon, winning in Arkansas for only the third time in its history.

Sadly, I watched all go down from my couch, not from Fayetteville, but here are some of the essentials from the game:
  • Auburn shot 40 percent from 3-point range, going 10-for-25. I guess Jeff Lebo's plea to find some more scorers was answered.
  • DeWayne Reed scored 16, Korvotney Barber 15 and Tay Waller 14 in the win. Lucas Hargrove added 10 points.
  • Barber had another monster day on the boards, hauling in 18 rebounds, nearly half of Auburn's 38 total boards. Vot added three blocks and two assists.
  • Not a huge offensive night for Quantez Robertson, but he took two shots -- both 3's -- and hit both. For somebody who's struggling with his shot, that's important. He also had four rebounds and four assists.
  • Arkansas was brutal from outside, going 5-for-24. The Razorbacks shot 30.2 percent from the field for the game. Not their best offensive showing.
  • That makes Auburn 12-7 on the season and 2-3 in the SEC. The Tigers host Texas-Pan American on Wednesday in a rare non-conference game this late in the season. They then have a favorable stretch in the SEC, hosting Vanderbilt and traveling to Ole Miss before a three-game homestand that includes Tennessee, Arkansas and Mississippi State.
