Twitter reacts to Auburn’s first loss of the season
No. 14 Auburn was unable to keep up with the Memphis Tigers and fell 82-73 Saturday in State Farm Arena. The loss was Auburn’s first of the season.
Auburn’s defense was unable to slow down Memphis and was dominated around the rim. Memphis outscored Auburn 50-24 in the paint and outrebounded them 42-33.
The Tigers had no answers for Memphis point guard Kendric Davis who had 27 points, nine rebounds, and six assists.
K.D. Johnson, an Atlanta native, impressed in his return to his hometown. Auburn’s sixth man scored 10 first-half points and finished with 14. Wendell Green Jr. (14), Chris Moore (12), and Johni Broome (11) also scored in double figures.
The Auburn faithful took to Twitter after the game and here are the top reactions after Auburn’s first loss of the season.

I hope these refs go home and their wives who watched the game don’t talk to them for a whole week

Worst Auburn basketball game I've watched in years.

Auburn basketball is a good team right now, not a great team. Need to figure out how to succeed without Jabari and Kessler.

Feel like it’s going to be a rough season for Auburn basketball. Hopefully I’m wrong

This auburn basketball team just isn’t at the level we were at last year around this time. It almost seems like we are scared to drive.

If this was a super good Memphis team, you’re not worried, but they’re not a top 15 team….so Auburn basketball should be worried! Bad shots, bad shooters that miss wide open shots!

Auburn basketball is just not very good at all this year. Going to be bottom feeders in a very good sec this year I have a feeling.

KD Johnson plays basketball like a Linebacker. My dude has no fear. @AuburnMBB #WarEagle

Wendell Green Jr. just smoked a layup. Not much going right for Auburn right now.

Bruce Pearl was about 20 seconds of game time away from dying of a stroke on the court. Good Lord dude…
