No. 19 Auburn faces Missouri in battle of Tigers

Auburn coach Bruce Pearl is a little worried.

"Our 3-point percentage defense is not very good," Pearl said Monday, according to the website SEC Country. "I think that has to do with some of our size. Teams that shoot open 3's tend to make them. When they get contested 3's, either because of length or things like that, they tend to miss them."

On Wednesday, 19th-ranked Auburn will travel to face a Missouri team that features three players -- Jordan Barnett, Kassius Robertson and Jordan Geist -- who all shoot better than 40 percent from behind the arc.
