Auburn got some adversity thrown its way tonight, and had to shoot its way out of a hole at home as they came from behind to beat Vanderbilt 94-80 at Auburn Arena. Despite a hot shooting night from the Commodores, Auburn came alive from the floor hitting 58% of its shots and 50% from behind the arc to win going away. Jabari Smith hit the 30-point mark for the first time with a 31-point explosion and 7-10 shooting from downtown to lead the way.
With the win, Auburn improves to 24-2 overall, and 12-1 in the SEC as they now hold a two-game lead over Kentucky and Tennessee for the outright SEC regular season championship.
