Behind a tremendous atmosphere in Auburn Arena, the Tigers began conference play with a thorough beating of previously undefeated LSU. Auburn held LSU without a field goal for over 10 minutes and raced out to an 18-1 lead, then thwarted every LSU run. Walker Kessler was our MVP, recording a triple double in his SEC debut with 16 points, 10 rebounds, and a school-record 11 blocks.
