“This game was back and forth the entire night and no one had
a lead larger than five points,” said Garber. “We gave ourselves
good looks in the fourth quarter. It’s just unfortunate that the
ball did not bounce our way. The guys played with a lot of heart
and effort.”
Auburn had the early 13-10 first quarter lead, but the Stags
scratched their way back to tie the game at 19-19 by the half.
Auburn held a 38-36 advantage after three quarters of play.
Wolpert, who led the team by scoring 14 points, missed that game
winning shot that allowed the Trojans to escape with the 42-41
victory.
Alec Hayes did score six points for the Stags, although he is
slowly coming back from the previous night’s ankle injury he
suffered. According to Coach Garber, “Hayes is an extremely
tough kid and always wants to play no matter what. Auburn did a
good job of taking things away from us. Hayes will bounce back
tomorrow.”
