Season-high offensive night, historic efficiency, and a late comeback push Auburn University at Montgomery to the brink in Gulf South Conference showdown
MONTGOMERY, Ala. | The Auburn University at Montgomery Warhawks delivered one of their most electric performances of the season Thursday night, but it wasn’t enough to finish the job. Powered by a career night from sophomore Tamora Brown, AUM pushed the University of West Alabama Tigers to the limit before falling 99–95 in overtime at the AUM Athletics Complex.
Brown was nothing short of sensational, pouring in a season-high and career-best 41 points, along with seven steals in 38 minutes, as the Warhawks (2–12, GSC 2–6) showcased their offensive ceiling in a game that swung wildly in momentum and intensity.
Fast Start, Strong Response
AUM opened the game grinding for points in the first quarter, tallying 11 total as Brown scored the Warhawks’ first bucket of the night. Ameyah Gray knocked down a three, while Samya Brooks and Nevaeh Small added timely contributions to keep AUM within striking distance early.
The game flipped decisively in the second quarter, as the Warhawks exploded on both ends of the floor. AUM outscored West Alabama 26–6, seizing control behind perimeter shooting and defensive pressure. Gray drilled two threes, Andie Flatgard added another, and Small’s layup gave AUM a 30–29 lead. Brown closed the half with six straight points, sending the Warhawks into halftime up 37–31.
