Harper & Purifoy combine for 38 as Auburn moved to 2-0 in the 2016-2017 season!
November 14, 2016 - Auburn Arena
This was the first of 4 games associated with the Cancun Challenge for the Tigers. Auburn was just 7-21 from 3-point range but 4 of those were made by #1. Jared Harper was 4-6 from 3 and also had 3 steals to go with his 19 points.
Danjel Purifoy played just 3 minutes in the 1st half due to picking up 2 fouls but scored 17 of his 19 points in the 2nd half.
Auburn had 2 others in double figures with Horace Spencer scoring 12 points and Mustapha Heron had 10 points (8 from the free throw line) along with 8 rebounds.
Auburn led 35-30 at halftime and led 39-37 4 minutes into the 2nd half before Harper and Purifoy would key an 8-0 run to put Auburn up by double figures for the first time. After that point, the Panthers wouldn’t get closer than 7 the rest of the way.
The biggest highlight from this game was with about 3 minutes left when T.J. Dunans threw a behind the back pass to Horace Spencer who finished with a tomahawk jam as the Tigers would finish off Georgia State from there.
Here are the game highlights!
Tomorrow we’ll look at Auburn’s 2nd win in the Cancun Challenge over Eastern Kentucky
