Bodda Getta Daily Brew 2/1: Yeah Buoy

Vanderbilt Commodores prove no match for Auburn Tigers on Wednesday at a sold-out Neville Arena

Good morning. Selling out Neville Arena for the 50th consecutive full-capacity game, No. 16 Auburn defeated Vanderbilt 81-54 Wednesday to sweep the season series from the Commodores. 

Denver Jones and Jaylin Williams combined to make 7 of 12 3-pointers, and Johni Broome logged his 10th double-double of the season with 16 points and 11 rebounds.

"We did what we needed to do tonight," Auburn coach Bruce Pearl said.

Williams led Auburn with 21 points on 7-of-9 shooting, and Jones scored a season-high 19. Chad Baker-Mazara added 11 points. 

Auburn (17-4, 6-2) returns to the road Saturday at Ole Miss at 5 p.m. CT on SEC Network and the Auburn Sports Network. 

"It gets real coming up Saturday," Pearl said. "We have to continue to be able to step up if we're going to be able to keep winning."

🎉 TRIVIA ANSWER

Answer: 4,096

Auburn's baseball home for the past 73 seasons, Samford Stadium-Hitchcock Field at Plainsman Park includes 3,227 chairback seats. The design combines the look of old-time ballparks with academic buildings on the Auburn campus to create a facade of brick and painted steel.

A 1998 facelift transformed Auburn's baseball field into a renaissance of Camden Yard proportions. The park offers the brick backstop of Wrigley Field, the dark green chairback seats of Camden Yards and the Green Monster of Fenway Park, each timeless elements borrowed and melded together to create a timeless atmosphere for college baseball.

In 2016, Samford Stadium-Hitchcock Field at Plainsman Park was named one of the top venues in the country for college baseball by D1Baseball.com.
