Takeaways: Auburn wraps up 2023 with dominant 101-66 win over Chattanooga

Auburn dominated from start to finish against Chattanooga.

The Tigers (10-2) have one more non-conference game before SEC play starts. Here are four takeaways from the Tigers' massive win.

Frontcourt flex game

Johni Broome and Jaylin Williams combined for a very efficient night. The duo finished with 39 points on 18-of-21 shooting to go along with 13 rebounds.

The Tigers came into the contest with a significant height advantage, and they abused it throughout the night. Broome had a pair of poor shooting performances over his last few games, but stabilized in this one.

Williams, the winningest player in Auburn basketball history, added onto his total with a perfect night; 9-of-9 from the field.

Dominance on the boards

Again, Auburn's height advantage was apparent from start to finish - the Tigers out rebounded the Mocs 46-23 - and ended with a +23 rebounding margin, their best of the season.

Chattanooga just did not have the length to handle Broome, Jaylin Williams, Chris Moore, Dylan Cardwell, and Chaney Johnson.

The fact that I had to type out five different names that impacted the glass tonight just shows how deep this team gets.

Chattanooga: Less efficient, still the same

The Mocs ended up only shooting 36.1% from the field and 33.3% from outside the arc, but they didn't change all that much stylistically. If anything, they leaned into their tendencies despite getting shut down offensively.

Chattanooga was 11-of-33 from three producing 33 of their 66 points. Their point distribution percentage from deep was a staggering 40.8% heading into tonight. They obviously leaned on the outside shot more due to Auburn's dominance in the paint, but it wasn't something the Mocs were unfamiliar with.

Donaldson quietly brings stability

While neither of Auburn's point guards had a great shooting night, both of them contributed. Holloway and Donaldson finished with a combined nine assists against zero turnovers. There were questions about how Donaldson would progress this offseason, possibly sitting behind Holloway - but he's been incredible off of the bench and hasn't taken a back seat despite that. There's legitimate stability at the PG spot for Auburn.
