Florida lost in Oxford.
Alabama lost in Oxford.
The Pavilion’s been a tough place to play all season long.
That didn’t matter to Auburn tonight. The Tigers beat Ole Miss in a grind, 79-70 to improve to 8-1 in the SEC and 20-2 overall on the season.
In the first half, fouls were the flavor of the week, with seven Ole Miss players earning two fouls before halftime. Auburn was in the bonus less than midway through the period, and made their bones at the free throw line to hold a 38-36 edge at halftime.
