Top-ranked Auburn has withstood the best shots the Southeastern Conference has had to offer through seven games, managing to remain perfect in the nation's best basketball conference. The Tigers (19-1, 7-0 SEC) will look to keep it that way Saturday when they face No. 23 Ole Miss (16-5, 5-3) in Oxford, Miss., in the first of two matchups between the programs in February. As the top dog in the country -- or cats in Auburn's case -- wins have not always come easily as head coach Bruce Pearl's bunch seemingly gets opponents' top effort on a nightly basis. That includes very close wins over then-No.
