Auburn relied on their half court defense and some timely 3 point shooting in the second half to control their first round matchup against Iowa in Birmingham. Johni Broome was our MVP with 19 points and 12 rebounds, while Wendell Green Jr took care of the ball and was perfect at the free throw line to finish the game. Tre Donaldson and KD Johnson were terrific off the bench, and Allen Flanigan had 10 points and 10 rebounds. Auburn will play on Saturday in Birmingham against either Houston or Northern Kentucky.
