AUBURN, Ala. - Trailing by 10 at the half, No. 22 Auburn exploded for 50 second-half points in Tuesday's 85-70 win over Ole Miss at Auburn Arena.

"I don't think there's any question that we guarded them better the second half and wore them down," Auburn coach Bruce Pearl said. "That had a lot to do with us being able to outplay them so much."

Auburn outscored Ole Miss 50-25 in the second half en route to its 13th consecutive victory, the Tigers' longest winning streak in 18 years.
