AUBURN, Ala. (EETV) — After an intense back-and-forth game and a senior night celebration, the Auburn Tigers (15-13) were able to seal a win over the Vanderbilt Commodores (12-18) at the Tigers’ home court in Neville Arena.
Honesty Scott-Grayson was the leading scorer of the game for the Tigers with 15 points. Scott-Grayson led the team to the win in the last 4.4 seconds of the game after securing a loose ball.

Auburn shot 27-62 (44%) from the field, 6-17 (35%) from the three-point range, and 18-27 (67%) from the free-throw line.
