Ole Miss took Auburn to the brink of a catastrophic upset, but the Tigers eventually pulled out a much-needed conference win. Auburn took advantage of its home-court advantage as the Tiger faithful packed out Neville Arena.
There were stretches in this game where Ole Miss played its best offense of the season. Matthew Murrell led Ole Miss with 23 points, followed by Myles Burns, who put up 14 points to go along with six steals.
James White chipped in a very efficient 13 points off the bench, something the Rebels have been missing for most of this season.
