AUBURN, Ala. (AP) — KT Harrell scored a career-high 29 points to lead Auburn to a 77-67 victory over Boston College on Sunday.

Auburn (6-3) hit 10 of its first 18 attempts from beyond the arc in the victory, with Harrell netting six of the Tigers’ 3-pointers. Senior guard Chris Denson, who ranks No. 2 in the SEC in points per game, added 15 for the Tigers.

The two teams traded the lead several times in the first half, but Auburn headed into halftime with a 13-point lead on Boston College (4-8) thanks to a late 14-2 run. The Tigers then scored seven unanswered points to open the second half.

Sophomore guard Olivier Hanlan scored 28 points on 8-of-14 shooting for Boston College. The Eagles’ season record in road games went to 0-4 with Sunday’s loss, which was Boston College’s first visit to Auburn in school history.
