Auburn’s basketball team traveled to Mykonos for a two‑game exhibition against KK Mega Superbet, finishing the series with a win and a loss that together painted a nuanced picture of the squad’s current state.
Offensive firepower
The first contest showcased a perimeter attack that accounted for nearly half of the team’s 92 points, with multiple players hitting multiple three‑pointers and Kevin Overton going 5‑for‑10 from deep.
Turnover troubles
In the second game the Tigers turned the ball over 22 times, a figure that dragged their assist‑to‑turnover ratio into negative territory and ultimately contributed to a narrow 70‑68 loss.
Caleb Williams logged over 25 minutes in both outings, delivering 12 points and seven rebounds in the opener but slipping to just six points and six turnovers in the rematch.
Interior presence and rebounding
Bukky Oboye anchored the paint with 11.5 points, six rebounds and 4.5 blocks while shooting 61.5% from two‑point range, and Thomas Dowd posted a double‑double with 13 points and 10 rebounds in the first game before adding 18 rebounds in the second.
Adam Olsen contributed a 6‑for‑14 three‑point effort and grabbed 14 rebounds across the pair of games, while Blake Muschalek drew 15 fouls, the highest total among the roster.
Efficiency amid injury
Tahaad Pettiford, limited by a knee issue, still managed 13 assists with only three turnovers in 37 minutes, underscoring his playmaking value despite the setback.
The split results leave the coaching staff with clear takeaways: the offense can explode when the ball finds the arc, but defensive discipline and ball security must improve before the regular season begins.
