For the second time in the last four games, the Auburn Tigers men’s basketball team is coming off a loss. They are set to host the Ole Miss Rebels on Wednesday night at Auburn Arena. This is the first of the final two home games remaining on the schedule.
Auburn still holds the lead in the SEC for the No. 1 seed in the SEC Tournament but they still need a strong showing over the final four games to fend off Tennessee and Kentucky. The Tigers and Vols have a showdown on Saturday in Knoxville that could go a long way in clinching the top seed.
Before we get to the top 15 matchup between Bruce Pearl and his old team, the Tigers have to take care of business with Ole Miss. Auburn beat Ole Miss earlier this season 80-71 in Oxford. The Tigers are looking to make it a season sweep.
Based on the first two games following a loss this season, is there a recurring theme when it comes to Walker Kessler?
