Takeaways: Auburn picks up convincing win over Indiana

Auburn made a statement after falling to Appalachian State by convincingly beating Indiana. What are the biggest things to take away from the game?

After taking a tough loss to the Appalachian State Mountaineers on the road on Sunday, the Auburn Tigers bounced back by beating the Indiana Hoosiers 104-76 at Holiday Hoopsgiving in Atlanta.

Auburn overcame a slow start in the first half to control the game in just about every category.

What are the main things to take away from Auburn's sixth win of the season?

Auburn took especially good care of the ball

When the clock hit triple zeros in the second half, Auburn had only turned the ball over three times. Limiting turnovers helped allow Auburn to cruise to victory like it did.

Indiana was not particularly reckless with the ball, but it did turn it over 12 times and allowed Auburn to score 15 points off of those turnovers.

If Auburn can regularly take care of the ball like it did in this game, the Tigers will be in good shape this season.

Auburn saw high offensive production from multiple players

Six Auburn players scored in double-figures.

Aden Holloway scored 24 points, Jaylin Williams scored 24 points, KD Johnson scored 14 points, Denver Jones scored 12 points, Chad Baker-Mazara scored 11 points and Tre Donaldson scored 10 points.

Johni Broome, Auburn's leading scorer so far this season, finished with only two points mostly due to early foul trouble.

Auburn had a breakout game from 3-point range

Auburn went 14-29 or 48.3 percent from 3-point range. This was the Tigers' best performance from beyond the arch so far this season.

Holloway led Auburn's effort from deep, going 5-8.

What's next?

Auburn will be back in action against UNC Asheville in the Rocket City Classic in Huntsville on Wednesday night. Tipoff is set for 7 p.m. CT and the broadcast can be found on SEC Network+ or ESPN+.
