The Auburn Tigers basketball squad traveled to the sun‑kissed island of Mykonos, Greece, where they faced KK Mega Superbet in an overseas exhibition that ended in a decisive 92‑71 win for the visitors.
The victory was all the more impressive given that the Tigers were missing several key contributors — Narcisse Ngoy, Mantas Rubštavičius, George Kimble and Owen Freeman — sidelined by injury or NCAA eligibility rules.
Offensive Leaders
Leading the scoring, senior forward Kevin Overton poured in 21 points, hitting five of ten from beyond the arc, while also dishing out three assists in a 25‑minute stint before resting for the final quarter.
Freshman point guard Tahaad Pettiford added a double‑digit effort with 12 points, nine assists and three rebounds, showcasing the playmaking depth that the coaching staff expects to lean on.
The debut of newcomers Thomas Dowd, Adam Olsen and true freshman Caleb Williams, each scoring in double figures, signaled a promising infusion of talent for the program.
Blake Muschalek contributed another 12 points, underscoring the balanced offensive output that left the opposition struggling to contain multiple threats.
Physical Contest
Observers described the match as ‘very physical and competitive,’ noting that Auburn weathered an early surge from the Greek side and responded with disciplined defense and relentless rebounding.
Looking ahead, the Tigers will meet KK Mega Superbet again later today at 11 a.m. CT, a rematch that promises another test of endurance and chemistry as the team continues to integrate its new pieces.
