The Rebels fell behind 14-2 early on Saturday, and much of the first half seemed to be in Mississippi State's favor. Ole Miss was outrebounded by a wide margin before halftime (and finished the game 51-29 in that category), opening up the door for a lot of second-chance opportunities for the Bulldogs.

Auburn men’s basketball came into Tuesday night’s clash against Mississippi State with a target on its back and missing its best player, Johni Broome. That didn’t end the run of dominance, though, as the Tigers cruised to an 88-66 win over the Bulldogs, improving to 16-1 overall and 4-0 in Southeastern Conference play.
