Dunans buzzer-beater lifts Auburn past Mercer 76-74
AUBURN, Ala. — The play didn’t come off precisely as Auburn drew it up, but T.J. Dunans made it turn out perfectly, anyway.
Dunans hit a buzzer-beating 3-pointer off an inbounds pass to lift Auburn to a 76-74 victory over Mercer on Sunday.
“I knew it was going in,” he said. “The way I shot, I knew it was going in.”
Dunans grabbed the pass from Mustapha Heron with 1.4 seconds left, turned and fired up the winning shot from the left corner for the Tigers (8-2), who have won two straight minus a pair of suspended starters.
