Impact Freeman has yet to miss a game this season, but it appears that could change in the Tigers' final contest, the NIT title game against the Golden Hurricane. He was at press conferences Friday with tip-off just over 48 hours away, so that's a good sign for his availability. Still, Freeman is worth monitoring heading into the game.

Hits game-winning tip-in Freeman contributed 11 points (5-12 FG, 1-4 3Pt), three rebounds, one block and one steal in 27 minutes during Saturday's 75-74 win over Kentucky.

Impact Freeman scored on a second offensive rebound with 1.6 remaining to give the Tigers the win. After Kevin Overton had his shot blocked, KeShawn Murphy missed a first tip before Freeman grabbed the ball and put it in. The 6-8 sophomore had just his second double-digit scoring performance in the last 10 games. Auburn snapped a five-game losing streak and head to Oklahoma on Tuesday.

Starts, snags nine boards Freeman provided nine points (3-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), a season-high nine rebounds, one block and one steal across 36 minutes during Saturday's 88-75 loss to Arkansas.

Impact Freeman moved into the starting lineup for Keyshawn Hall (suspension) and played a season high in minutes. The 6-8 sophomore started nine of the first 10 games this season, but had been coming off the bench for the most part in conference play. He is averaging 9.2 points and 4.8 rebounds.

Keyshawn Hall scored 22 points and No. 21 Auburn took advantage of a respite in its brutal schedule to beat Chattanooga 92-78

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.

DECEMBER 13, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

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.
