It was defensive, it was chippy, it was a win.
No. 4 seed Auburn advances to the SEC Tournament semi-finals after defeating No. 9-seed Mississippi State on Saturday, 73-66. Auburn connected on 50% of its shot opportunities on Saturday, and five players reached double-figures in points.
Auburn’s defense allowed Mississippi State to score just 41% despite losing the rebound battle, 37-29. The Tigers earned the win and will battle No. 6-seed Florida on Sunday for the opportunity to cut down the nets.
