It was back-and-forth for the remaining time, kicked off by Auburn’s KD Johnson, who had struggled offensively in recent contests. Much like Auburn’s loss to Texas A&M last week, West Virginia got a hot start offensively, carving up the Tiger defense for a 16-point lead going into intermission. It went into halftime with more free throws made than Auburn had field goals made .

“Probably did a better job of getting the ball inside,” Pearl said of the second half. “Johni was in foul trouble in the first half, so we didn't have him, he didn't play a lot of minutes. He played almost the entire second half and we were able to get him and Jaylin touches on the inside.”
