The Tigers made 15 three-pointers on Monday, which equals the number of three-point attempts that Queens tried. However, the Royals were not as successful in the department by shooting 13% (2-of-15).<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Auburn won the boards Monday by out-rebounding Queens, 40-26, and was able to turn 14 Queens turnovers into 24 points. Auburn also logged 13 steals in the game.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Individually, Elyjah Freeman and Kevin Overton reached the 20-point mark while Tahaad Pettiford recorded nine assists.<\/p>\n<p>Need a news break? <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" data-t-l=\":body nav (play)|e|auto spike click:4|\u2691u\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_sp_a\" href=\"https:\/\/play.usatoday.com\/?itm_source=SPIKE&amp;itm_campaign=PLAYSPIKE&amp;itm_medium=ONSITE\">Check out the all new PLAY hub with puzzles, games and more!<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Here is a look back at how Auburn&#8217;s 106-64 win over Queens unfolded on Monday night in Neville Arena.<\/p>\n<p>Final stats (Auburn 106, Queens 64- FINAL)Elyjah Freeman: 27 points, 4-4 3pt, 5-5 FTKevin Overton: 23 points, 5-7 3ptKeyshawn Hall: 18 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assistsSebastian Williams-Adams: 10 points, 5 reboundsKeshawn Murphy: 9 points, 6 reboundsTahaad Pettiford: 5 points, 9 assistsFilip Jovic, Kaden Magwood: 5 pointsSimon Walker: 4 pointsAuburn keeps its comfortable lead at the final media timeout (Auburn 97, Queens 60- 3:43 2nd half)<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Auburn has all but wrapped this one up. The Tigers have a 37-point lead with less than four minutes to go, thanks to 54% shooting (33-of-61), with 14 made three-pointers. Auburn has also recorded 13 steals and is outrebounding Queens, 36-24.<\/p>\n<p>Auburn is dominating from long distance (Auburn 88, Queens 48- 7:51 2nd half)<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">The greatest difference in the game so far is three-point shooting, as Auburn has made two more three-pointers than Queens has attempted. The Tigers are 13-of-24 from beyond the arc, while Queens has yet to make one from long distance, going 0-for-11.<\/p>\n<p>Keyshawn Hall passes the torch to Kevin Overton (Auburn 77, Queens 40- 12:00 2nd half)<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Keyshawn Hall posted 16 first-half points, and it appears that he paved the way for Kevin Overton to take over his production in the 2nd half. Overton is 3-of-3 for 8 points in the half and is up to 21 points in the game. He&#8217;s also pacing the Tigers with five made three-pointers.<\/p>\n<p>Queens out to a hot start in the 2nd half (Auburn 64, Queens 32- 15:42 2nd half)<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Auburn is shooting 3-of-5 from the field to open the game, but is trailing Queens, 11-7, early in the half. Auburn is on a scoring drought of over 2 minutes, and Queens is on a 7-0 run.<\/p>\n<p>First half stats (Auburn 57, Queens 21- HT)Keyshawn Hall: 16 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assistsKevin Overton: 13 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assistKeshawn Murphy: 9 points, 3 reboundsElyjah Freeman: 7 points, reboundSebastian Williams-Adams: 6 points, 3 reboundsTahaad Pettiford: 2 points, 6 assists, three rebounds<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Team stats<\/p>\n<p>Shooting: 53% (21-of-40)Three-point: 47% (9-of-19)Turnovers: 2Points off turnovers: 17 (11 Queens turnovers)Rebounds: 23Steals: 10Auburn has two double-digit scorers as the half fades (Auburn 51, Queens 19- 2:15 1st half)<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Keyshawn Hall continues to play well with 16 points, shooting 6-of-7 from the field. Kevin Overton is behind him with 10 points and is 3-of-4 from three-point territory.<\/p>\n<p>What aspect is Auburn NOT dominating at this point? (Auburn 42, Queens 11- 7:39 1st half)<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Auburn is up by a wide margin at this stage in the half. Let&#8217;s try to examine what is going right for the Tigers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Auburn is shooting 64% (15-of-23), while Queens is shooting 23% (3-of-13). Auburn is also 7-of-11 from three-point land while Queens has yet to make one in five opportunities. The Tigers, who have committed zero turnovers in the game, have capitalized on Queens&#8217; cough-ups by turning eight of them into 14 points.<\/p>\n<p>7 is hot! Keyshawn Hall&#8217;s dominance is fueling Auburn&#8217;s gigantic lead (Auburn 30, Queens 4- 11:44 1st half)<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Auburn needed a confidence boost following its loss to Purdue, and has found it early in Monday&#8217;s affair with Queens. The Tigers are up by 26 near the halfway point of the 1st half, and Keyshawn Hall is the mastermind behind the quick start with 13 points.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Hall is 5-of-6 from the floor, which includes a 2-of-3 mark from three-point territory. He has also reeled in three rebounds and has logged two assists.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Auburn ends the stretch on a 15-0 run that has lasted 3:22.<\/p>\n<p>Auburn ends long layoff with hot start (Auburn 15, Queens 2- 15:30 1st half)<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Auburn&#8217;s Keyshawn Hall opened the game with a three-pointer less than 30 seconds into the game, and went on an 8-0 run before Queens ever found the scoreboard. The Tigers also ended the stretch with a 7-0 run before the media timeout.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Auburn is shooting 57% at the first media timeout, while Queens is only shooting 17%. Hall leads all scorers with five points.<\/p>\n<p>Auburn vs. Queens will start after a short delay<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Believe it or not, Ole Miss&#8217; game with Alcorn State ended before Auburn&#8217;s game with Queens was supposed to begin. However, a clock issue is forcing the game to begin later than its scheduled 9 p.m. CT tip. The tip will occur at 9:13 p.m. CT.<\/p>\n<p>Auburn&#8217;s starters are announced<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Here is a look at how the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/sportsdata.usatoday.com\/basketball\/ncaab\/teams\/auburn-tigers\/1299\/\" data-autotag=\"02716a68-2a57-4ab4-80ed-9ec228d8217c\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" data-t-l=\":b|e|k|\u2691u\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_a\">Auburn Tigers<\/a> will line up against the Queens Royals on Monday night.<\/p>\n<p>G Tahaad PettifordG Kevin OvertonG Keshawn MurphyF Keyshawn HallF Sebastian Williams-AdamsAuburn vs. Queens time todayDate:\u00a0Monday, Dec. 29Start time:\u00a09 p.m. CT<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">The Auburn-Queens game starts at 9 p.m. CT from Neville Arena in Auburn, Alabama.<\/p>\n<p>What channel is Auburn-Queens basketball on today?TV Channel:\u00a0SEC NetworkLivestream:\u00a0Fubo (free trial)<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Auburn-Queens will be broadcast live on SEC Network on Monday, Dec. 29.
