Auburn Brings the Pain to Paine College, 99-64

Auburn defeated Paine College in their second and final exhibition game Friday night, 99-64, in front of yet another small crowd. KT Harrell didn't seem to mind as he led the Tigers in scoring, putting up 25 points on the night.

Senior guard Chris Denson was close behind, scoring 24 points, while Asauhn Dixon-Tatum, Tahj Shamsid-Deen, and Benas Griciunas each had 11. Asauhn Dixon-Tatum led the team in rebounding with his 9 boards, and Tahj Shamsid-Deen ended up with the most assists of the night with 7.
