Smith, do-it-all Kessler lead No. 21 Auburn past UCF, 85-68

Associated Press  

AUBURN, Ala. — Walker Kessler and freshman Jabari Smith had big games on offense and Auburn turned up the defensive intensity in the second half. Auburn, which won two of three last week at the Battle 4 Atlantis in the Bahamas, held UCF without a field goal for nearly nine minutes to take control in the second half. Auburn led 39-36 at the half and didn’t build its lead to double digits until midway through the second half, when Wendell Green Jr. buried a 3-pointer from well beyond the arc to beat the shot clock. “Our team played a really solid first half,” Knights coach Johnny Dawkins said. MAMADOU RETURNS First-year Knights assistant coach Mamadou N’Diaye played for Auburn from 1997-2000 and was one of the program’s better shot blockers.
