Sources: Auburn scuffle forces flight to turn back
Written by I Dig Sports
The Auburn men's basketball team's flight to Houston had to be grounded shortly after takeoff Friday because of a scuffle involving two Tigers players, sources confirmed to ESPN.
The incident was over before it escalated into anything serious, sources said, but the flight's personnel opted to turn the plane around.
The Auburn team's replacement flight took off for Houston late Friday night, sources told ESPN.
University officials did not respond to a request for comment.
The No. 11 Tigers face No. 4 Houston (9:30 p.m. ET, ESPNU) on Saturday.
Auburn opened its season with a 94-43 win over Vermont, highlighted by 21 points off the bench from Georgia Tech transfer Miles Kelly.
The news was first reported by Field of 68.
