Bodda Getta Daily Brew 1/30: Tenacious D

With 21 points from Honesty Scott-Grayson, Auburn women's hoops beats Georgia 67-49

Good morning. Auburn used tenacious defense and 21 points from Honesty Scott-Grayson to defeat Georgia 67-49 Monday, the Tigers' third consecutive SEC victory at Neville Arena. 
 
"We came out on fire," Auburn coach Johnnie Harris said. "We were guarding really well. We got stops. Our kids came out ready to play. They were focused. Any time you can win by 18 in the SEC, it's a good win, so I'm happy with it."
 
Seeking its fourth straight SEC home victory, Auburn (14-6, 3-4) hosts top-ranked South Carolina Thursday at 7 p.m. CT at Neville Arena.

📹 WAREAGLE+: TALKING TIGERS

Talking Tigers - John Mengelt
He scored 60 points against Alabama on Valentine's Day. John Mengelt claims this wasn't the best game of his Auburn career. Mengelt came south from his home in Elwood, Indiana. He left Indianapolis in a blizzard on his recruiting visit. It was in the 80s when he landed in Columbus, Georgia. He played against the likes of Pete Maravich and Dan Issel. Mengelt followed his Auburn career by playing for Cincinnati, Kansas City, Detroit and Chicago in the NBA. After a successful career in the executive search firm business, he and his wife, Linda, returned to the Plains.
