Auburn at Mississippi

Auburn's success on the basketball court pales in comparison to what they have done on the gridiron. But, the Tigers have shown improvement at 8-3, winning their last four including wins vs. Clemson and Boston College. Ole Miss comes in with a 5-3 record on their home court, and losses to Dayton and Oregon here are understandable, but they also lost here to Mercer. One problem for the Rebels is that two of their top three scorers, and players taking a lot of shots are both shooting well under 40% for the season. The Tigers have a two-headed monster in the back court with K.T. Harrell and Chris Denson providing the punch, as they both drop in 19+ points per contest. The difference is that they are both shooting over 50% and they certainly can keep the Tigers in the hunt here. Play on Auburn.
