Auburn Briefing: Dylan Cardwell has career game against USC

One of the biggest stories from Auburn's 91-75 win over USC yesterday was the game Dylan Cardwell had.

Cardwell was Auburn's leading bench scorer with 11 points which also gave him a new career-high. He also grabbed five rebounds, made two assists and blocked two shots.

Cardwell's monster dunks go a long way toward keeping the energy in Neville Arena high which is something that cannot be overlooked. 

If Cardwell can put together more performances like the one he had against USC, Auburn could be in good shape this season. 

The Tigers return to action on Friday when they host the Alabama State Hornets at Neville Arena. Tipoff is set for 7 p.m. CT and the broadcast can be found on SEC Network+.
