Auburn basketball did what it needed to do in Cancun coming away with a resume building win over Texas Tech, and hanging in there against a ranked Purdue team.
Now they come back home with a solid 4-1 record and hope to build some more momentum in out-of-conference play.
The Spartans of USC Upstate will come into Auburn Arena Tuesday night with a record of 3-3 and an RPI of 176. They had a big win over Charlotte earlier in the season in overtime.
Last year they finished 10-22 overall with a 4-10 record in conference play.
