Bronny James made his USC debut a week before in a home loss to Long Beach State. However, his real college basketball debut came Sunday afternoon at Auburn’s packed Neville Arena. The eldest son of LeBron James, who returned to the court last Sunday, finished with just 5 points, two rebounds, and two turnovers. The USC won 91-75 in a rout against Auburn.

Auburn basketball home games are nearly always difficult to get tickets for. However, Sunday was an exception. The Tigers’ 43rd straight sellout game occurred in Neville Arena on Sunday afternoon. It was necessary to purchase tickets at face value many months ago. Furthermore, this isn’t a matchup with a formidable SEC opponent. Not even a team in the top 25 was visiting them.

Bronny James was the sole cause of the excitement. A viral video on the internet showed many Auburn students waiting in queue to purchase match tickets. It was around 9:30 during winter break, but it got the students excited about the game. Similar to LeBron, Bronny also has a similar star power. However, fans brushed off his star power on the internet.

He completed a 1-of-4 field goal and a 0-of-2 three-pointer off the bench in 14 minutes. In addition, he made three of his four free-throw line attempts. The primary story of the Trojans’ season has been getting LeBron James’ son Bronny back on the court. Last weekend, he thanked everyone for the care and support he received while recovering from cardiac arrest.

Fans reacted wildly when Bronny James received credit for the long line before the game

The Trojans’ overall struggles have been the season’s most compelling storyline. Losses to ranked opponents such as No. 11 Oklahoma and No. 10 Gonzaga were not unexpected.

However, losing to UC Irvine and Long Beach State and being blown out by an outstanding but unranked Auburn team hasn’t been a good look. Everyone had their eyes on Bronny before the game, including those waiting outside the arena.

The focus in this matchup was on Isaiah Collier and Boogie Ellis. Collier had an average game, scoring 13 points and dishing out three assists. Ellis led the game with 22 points, three assists, and five rebounds. Fans are mocking Bronny for taking credit for those spotlights. People claim that this was the typical crowd for the matches. One fan responded, “Please go to literally any other Auburn game. This is a typical line lol.” Check out how the fans responded.

Ultimately, the Tigers won easily, 91-75, after leading for 37 of the 40 minutes and up to 23 points. This dropped USC to 500 in the season. In his meager 14 minutes of action, Bronny blew up one basket, forced one Tigers turnover, pulled down two rebounds, and scored five points on 1-of-4 shooting.
