Game Preview – Wofford @ Auburn
The Auburn Tigers look to extend their unbeaten start when they host the Wofford Terriers on Tuesday night at Neville Arena in Auburn, Alabama.
Ranked No. 20 nationally, the Tigers (2-0) have shown early promise behind Keyshawn Hall — the Big 12’s leading scorer last season at UCF — who has carried his dominance into SEC territory. Hall is averaging 26.5 points and 11 rebounds through two games, establishing himself as one of the top early-season performers in college basketball.
In Auburn’s 95-57 rout of Merrimack, Hall poured in 25 points and grabbed 14 rebounds, continuing his efficient scoring and physical style of play. The Tigers overwhelmed Merrimack with a 55-24 rebounding advantage and 21 offensive boards, showcasing their depth and size advantage in the paint.
Coach Steven Pearl praised the team’s physicality and second-half execution. “Our guys did a better job keeping them off the offensive glass,” Pearl said. “That’s a positive.”
Wofford (1-1) enters following an 86-76 win over Milwaukee that gave first-year head coach Kevin Giltner his first victory at the helm. The Terriers shot 50% from the floor and built a 19-point lead before fending off a late comeback.
Kahmare Holmes led with a career-high 24 points, while reserve Brian Sumpter tallied his first career double-double with 21 points and 11 rebounds.
“We wanted to punch first,” Giltner said postgame. “But the guys kept punching. That’s what it takes.”

Auburn Outlook
The Tigers’ frontcourt has dominated early opponents, averaging 95 points per game while holding a rebounding margin of +24.5. Hall’s scoring versatility — combined with his 90.3% free-throw accuracy (28-of-31) — makes Auburn dangerous in both half-court and transition play.
Supporting Hall is junior forward Chaney Johnson, who contributes 13.5 points and 7 rebounds per contest, while guard Tre Donaldson adds 11 points and 5 assists per game. Auburn has also excelled defensively, limiting opponents to 38% shooting from the field.
With back-to-back 90+ point performances, Pearl’s squad has showcased both tempo and toughness, outscoring opponents 190-147 through two games.
Auburn Injury Report
No significant injuries reported.
Wofford Outlook
The Terriers rely on a balanced attack but will need a near-perfect effort to stay competitive in Auburn’s hostile environment. Holmes leads Wofford with 14 points per game, followed by Sumpter and Nils Machowski with 11.5 each.
Wofford’s strength lies in ball movement and spacing — they average 18 assists per game and shoot 47% from the field. However, defensive rebounding has been a weakness, as they’ve allowed 14 offensive boards per game through two outings.
For the Terriers to compete, they must limit turnovers (currently 13.5 per game) and hit from deep early to stretch Auburn’s interior defense.
Wofford Injury Report
No major injuries reported.
Key Matchup / Path to Victory
Auburn’s dominance on the glass will likely define this matchup. Wofford has no true post presence capable of containing Hall and Johnson inside, meaning second-chance points could pile up quickly.
Wofford must push the tempo and rely on perimeter shooting to create space, while Auburn’s plan is clear — attack the paint, draw fouls, and let Hall dictate the pace. If the Tigers’ defensive intensity matches their offensive rhythm, this could get out of hand early.
