Auburn outrebounded UNC-Asheville 34-22 in the victory and the Tigers have now won the rebounding battle in their last eight games, winning seven of those bouts. Johni Broome leads Auburn in both scoring (15.1 ppg) and rebounding (8.6 rpg), and he’ll be a focal point on Sunday.
Meanwhile, USC suffered an 84-79 loss in overtime on Sunday to Long Beach State. USC was up 17 in the first but still couldn’t manage to seal the deal. The losing side was boosted by Vincent Iwuchukwu, who scored 15 points along with six rebounds.
