GAME RECAP: Auburn 80, Mississippi State 75
Auburn frustrated Mississippi State early, built a big lead, and held on in the end with some late three-point shooting for a gigantic SEC win at Auburn Arena today. The Tigers beat the Bulldogs 80-75 to get their 20th win of the season, marking consecutive 20-win seasons for just the fourth time in program history, and first time this millennium.
Additionally, Auburn improved to 9-7 in SEC play, dropped MSU to 9-7, and now stands in a five-way tie for fourth place in the conference standings. With two games left to play, Auburn needs some help to reach the coveted double-bye, but it’s a definite possibility.
