Chance Westry is a 4-star member of Auburn’s incoming recruiting class. He and the Tigers wrapped up their foreign trip to Israel on Monday night, losing to the Israel National Team, 95-86.
However, even in the loss, there were plenty of reasons for optimism and several highlight-reel plays.
Westry had perhaps the best highlight, dishing out this no-look pass to Chris Moore for an easy dunk:

Wendell Green Jr. did what we’re used to seeing him do, getting by a defender in the lane with a nice move and also showing off his unlimited 3-point range:

Who doesn’t love a little big man-to-big man passing? Dylan Cardwell hit freshman Yohan Traore for this nice slam:

Fellow big man Johni Broome, a transfer from Morehead State, made his impact felt on the defensive end:

And, Allen Flanigan, battling his way back from an Achilles injury suffered last year, continues to look much healthier. This is the Flanigan we’ve come to expect:

Auburn may have lost this game, but the future is bright on The Plains! We’ll see if the Tigers can make another run at the SEC regular-season title this coming season.
