Auburn returned home and took care of business against Mississippi State on Saturday, led by stifling defense that helped the Tigers to a 39-22 halftime lead that they did not relinquish. Johni Broome led the Tigers with 17 points and 6 rebounds, but our MVP was Denver Jones, who hit three 3 pointers, scored 15 points, and played terrific perimeter defense. Auburn is still mathematically alive for the regular season SEC title, and plays their final road game at Missouri on Tuesday night.
