It was all KT Harrell in Auburn Arena Friday, and that wasn't enough to give Auburn the win. In a 58-54 loss to Coastal Carolina, the senior guard finished with nearly half of Auburn's points, putting up 25. On the night, Harrell was 8-15 shooting, including seven threes on eight attempts.
"I really don't think we were taking our time," head coach Terri Williams-Flournoy said. "I thought we were settling for outside shots too much. We had to get in the paint a little more, get a little more high percentage shots. It's hard because when you see zone, everybody thinks they should just shoot the ball from the outside."

It's not so much where to be as far as our plays are concerned, but probably more on the defensive side where he had a lot of room to grow."
