Auburn G Bryce Brown calls out Texas A&M's lack of effort on defense

The Auburn Tigers went into College Station on Wednesday night and picked up a big 85-66 win over a struggling Texas A&M squad.

Leading the way for the Tigers was G Bryce Brown, who scored a team-high 22 points while knocking down five of his 11 three-point attempts.

After the game, he didn’t mince words when asked about A&M’s defense, saying he thought the Aggies would play a little bit harder with a ranked team coming to their home court:

Auburn's Bryce Brown, who had 20 of his 22 points in first half, critical of Aggies' effort. Said he expected more 'fire' from A&M defensively when a ranked opponent comes on to Aggies' home court — 'They probably could have played a little harder'

Auburn held a 48-32 halftime lead and never looked back, continuing to dominate after the intermission. Brown and the Tigers needed this win after losing their SEC road opener at Ole Miss last week.

Now, Auburn is 13-3 overall with a 2-1 mark in SEC play. Meanwhile, the Aggies are 7-8 overall and 1-3 in conference action.
