Auburn had to have a win over Ole Miss on Wednesday for its NCAA tournament hopes and survived a close game in Neville Arena thanks to some clutch free throws down the stretch. This episode begins (0:40) with an interview with a Barrett Irmscher from the Greater Nashville Auburn Club to highlight the special weekend surrounding the Vanderbilt game, with our Ole Miss game recap (17:45) afterwards. The Tigers defense wasn't quite as good as normal against Ole Miss, and turnovers became an issue in the second half. The steadiest guy on the floor was our MVP Johni Broome, who had 19 points, 8 rebounds, 6 blocks and 3 assists. Wendell Green Jr went 6-6 at the line in the final minute and had a game-high 23 points. Auburn (19-9, 9-6 SEC) now will close the season with three straight Quad 1 opportunities, beginning with a trip to Rupp Arena on Saturday.
