More than 40 Club members attended the Auburn TCU Game in Fort Worth on Jan 28th. The Tigers won a hard fought out of conference road game lead by Freshman sensation Austin Wiley who went 11-13 from the floor scoring 25 points in 21 minutes of play. After the game several club members waited to thank the team as they loaded the bus to head back to Auburn. There is no feeling like winning on the road. Congrats to Coach Pearl and the Auburn Tiger Men's basketball team for the 88-80 win.
