A win Saturday over visiting South Carolina will give No. 14 Auburn the SEC regular-season title while ending a two-game skid.
A victory by South Carolina (16-14, 10-7 SEC) will give the Gamecocks a regular-season sweep of the Tigers and continue their strong showing against ranked teams this season.
South Carolina is 3-3 against ranked opponents, which includes an 84-75 win over then-No. 10 Auburn two weeks ago in Columbia, S.C. It was the largest margin of defeat that the Tigers (24-6, 12-5) have suffered in the SEC this season.
In each of the three losses to ranked teams, South Carolina was only one possession down with less than three minutes remaining.
