If you were to read one of the articles from reporters who didn’t watch the game or took a cursory look at the score, you might assume a few things about Auburn basketball’s win last night in Oxford. The Tigers’ 20th win was a solid nine-point victory for the SEC’s top team. That’s an accomplishment Auburn has managed only one other time this early in the season. It also took place on January 30th, exactly 20 years ago.
A slightly deeper look would show that Auburn was up significantly more than than nine points in the last few minutes of the game before Ole Miss was able to score some garbage time points.
