Ole Miss welcomes No. 19 Auburn to The Pavilion in Oxford on Tuesday night, with the Tigers riding an impressive season that’s seen them bounce around the bottom of the AP Top 25. The teams met previously this season in Auburn, where Bruce Pearl’s club whipped off a decisive 85-70 victory. The Tigers are currently 19-2, with the duo of losses coming at the hands of Temple and Alabama, who are both probably tournament bound.
The second leg of this matchup always inspires a sense of nostalgia, since it was five years ago this week that CBB pest Marshall Henderson drained two late free throws to seal a 63-61 win over Auburn on the Plains.
