The Auburn Family showed up and showed out in Nashville, but the 20 free throw attempts for Vanderbilt center Liam Robbins was a little too much to overcome. The Tigers had their chances to stretch out a small second half lead, but ended up in another close battle that will end up in the loss column. After a huge KD Johnson 3 pointer to tie the game with 10 seconds left, Vanderbilt hit a shot going to the rim with less than a second left to win the game. Johni Broome led Auburn in scoring with 20 points and Jaylin Williams had 17, but it was a brutal night for Wendell Green Jr and many other perimeter players for the Tigers. Auburn now needs to beat Ole Miss at home this week and likely will need another win in the regular season or SEC tournament as they try to secure an NCAA tournament berth.
