Heron scored 10 points, all in the first half, in an 83-66 Auburn home victory over North Florida. Heron made two 3-pointers and sank 4-of-5 foul shots. He also had three rebounds and two assists in 19 minutes of play.
Flowers tallied 11 points and grabbed seven rebounds in a 90-76 UMass-Amherst home win over UMass-Lowell. Flowers made 3-of-7 three-point attempts, dished out an assist and came up with a steal.
