Kevin Overton - Suffers ankle injury Head coach Steven Pearl revealed that Overton (ankle) tweaked his ankle in warmups, resulting in his absence for the second half of Saturday's game against Chattanooga, per Jerry H...
Impact Overton played 11 minutes in the first half for the Tigers, scoring just two points to go along with one assist before being held out for the second half. The 6-foot-5 junior has been an impact player for the Tigers this season, averaging 10.6 points and 3.2 rebounds per game across 11 contests. The details and severity of his injury are thus far unknown, but he can be looked at as questionable for Saturday's matchup against Purdue on Saturday.

Keyshawn Hall scored 22 points and No. 21 Auburn took advantage of a respite in its brutal schedule to beat Chattanooga 92-781 DAY AGO • Associated Press
Keyshawn Hall - Lives at the line Hall logged 22 points (5-9 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 11-14 FT), 11 rebounds, six assists and one block in 36 minutes during Saturday's 92-78 victory over Chattanooga.
Impact Hall attempted at least 12 free throws for the fourth time this season. The 6-8 forward is a master at drawing fouls and has only made at least six trips to the free throw line once.

Elyjah Freeman - Scores 19 off bench Freeman ended Saturday's 92-78 win over Chattanooga with 19 points (7-13 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), seven rebounds and one steal over 33 minutes.
Impact Freeman came off the bench for just the second time this season, but was given a starter's complement of minutes after Kevin Overton went to the locker room with an injury. The 6-8 sophomore had been limited to single-digit scoring in his five previous games. If Overton has to miss games - including next Friday's game at Purdue - Freeman could move back into the starting lineup and get a lot of offensive opportunities.

Abdul Bashir - Sits out win over Chattanooga Bashir (back) didn't play in Auburn's 92-78 win over Chattanooga on Saturday.
Impact Bashir missed his sixth straight game; the forward has been dealing with a back injury as well as an illness. His next chance to play will come at Purdue on Dec. 20.

Elyjah Freeman - Not starting Saturday Freeman is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game versus Chattanooga, Justin Ferguson of AuburnObserver.com reports.
Impact Freeman will play from the bench for the second time this season as the Tigers take on Chattanooga at home. The sophomore forward has struggled from the scoring front as of late, averaging 4.3 points in his last four games as opposed to 10.5 points in his first six. He should still have a meaningful role as the sixth man, even though he won't start the game on the court.
