Harrison Tarr | January 20

AUBURN, Ala. (EETV) The Auburn Tigers fell short in their chance at redemption against the Arkansas Razorbacks in Fayetteville on Wednesday night; however, the 75-73 final score is in no way an accurate representation of the roller coaster-esque game that Bruce Pearl’s squad took part in. Much like contests of early season Auburn, Wednesday night was a tale of two halves.
