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.
