He is the most complete player in Big 12, as he ranks inside the top-five in the conference in scoring, assists, steals, and three-pointers made. Iowa State will travel to take on Auburn on Saturday.
Auburn Player Spotlight
Samir Doughty added 17 points (6-12 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-7 FT), six rebounds, four assists and one steal during Saturday’s win over Georgia. In a balanced scoring effort, Doughty lead the Tigers offensively Saturday, as the guard managed 50 percent overall shooting from the floor to back up a poor performance at the charity stripe. Since the guard’s torrid start to the season over the first eight games, the senior is posting 12.7 points his past seven outings which is three-less points than his season average however.
