Six players scored in double figures as Auburn opened its season with a 96-84 statement victory over highly regarded Frederick Douglass of Memphis, Tennessee, in the nightcap of the opening night doubleheader.
Herman Powell had 21 for the Red Devils.
The bigger Red Devils dominated the offensive boards and actually scored more field goals than Auburn. The Knights, though, played six guards and two forwards and killed Douglass at the free-throw line. Auburn made 32-of-40 from the charity stripe.
