Auburn Basketball: Top 10 Highlights From The First 10 Games Of The Year

In This Article:

The Auburn University Men's Basketball Team have had a great start to the season. With an 11-2 record and a number twelve ranking in the latest AP Poll, the Tigers are looking to continue their success heading into SEC play.

10 games into the season, let's take a look at some of the best moments the team has had on the hardwood thus far.


Harper's Big Poster

Surprised? Probably not.

In the first round of the Maui Invitational, Auburn was locked in an overtime battle against Xavier and was looking for an opportunity to take advantage.

Jared Harper answered the call, coming off the pick and roll and postering a Xavier defender to take control of the game.

Auburn would go on to 88-79 and Harper would earn the number one play on Sportscenter's Top 10 plays.

Dunbar's Defense Leads to Offense

Get ready to see a lot of Malik Dunbar in this countdown.

In a tough, neutral site win against the UAB Blazers, Dunbar had a prolific block that led to an alley-oop slam at the other end, earning him the number two spot on the list.

Jared Harper Silences the Crowd

Another clutch moment from the Xavier game came late in the second half when Jared Harper hit a big three to take the lead and effectively silence the Musketeer crowd.

Expect to see more clutch baskets from the point guard as the campaign progresses.

Harper's lob to Dubar vs. UNC Asheville

In a big win against UNC Asheville, one of the big moment of the game was when Jared Harper had back to back Lob City esque passes to his teammates who finished them off.

Dunbar, who finished the latter of the passes, receives a higher slot as a result of the exclamation point he put on the end of his dunk.

Harper's lob to Spencer

This was the predecessor to the Dunbar lob, with Harper lofting it up to Horace Spencer for the sweet finish.

Another Harper to Dunbar Connection

Another game another Harper to Dunbar connection, this time in a resounding win against the Washington Huskies.

Back to Back Slams to End the Game

In a big win against Mississippi College, back to back dunks occurred in the closing minutes of the game.

McCormick flies against the Flyers

In a Saturday night win against Dayton, Jared Harper connected with his fellow point guard J'Von McCormick.

McLemore with the finish against Duke

In the game against Duke, McLemore got the Tigers off to a great start with this play.

The team would go to lose to the Blue Devils 78-72

Special Moment for the Walk-On

A great moment came in the game against Saint Peters, when freshman walk-on Preston Cook broke out in transition and attacked the rim, sending the Auburn Arena crowd into a frenzy and earning the final spot on the list

Auburn fans should expect to see more amazing highlights from the team going forward into January.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

Brooke Davis

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:
