Lady Tigers fall at Vanderbilt
Auburn Women's Basketball
The Lady Tigers fall 53-50 at Vanderbilt and move to 12-6 on the season. The game between the Lady Tigers and the Lady Commodores went back and forth the entire game and featured 17 lead changes and eight ties. The back-and-forth game came down to the final minute, the teams tied and Vanderbilt scored to take the lead with 33 seconds left and would go on to win.
“We came out and made mistakes but we were still in the ball game,” Auburn head coach Johnnie Harris said.” We had a lot thrown at us – had to change the game time, got in late, had to get up early for shootaround – those are not excuses. Our kids handled that. We have to control what we can control. We were driving it to the hole, and things just didn’t go our way.
“(Vanderbilt) started putting it on the floor because they didn’t have passes available. Our defense was good, we held a good offensive team to 53 points. But it was not a good shooting night for us. But that’s life on the road in the SEC, we’ve got to be able to finish.”
Honesty Scott-Grayson led the way for the Lady Tigers with 15 points, a season high six assists, and six rebounds.
Auburn returns home on Sunday and will host in-state rival Alabama for a 2:00 tipoff.
