Impact Overton has scored at least 20 points three times against SEC competition and six times on the season. He helped the Tigers snap a two-game losing streak. In his last five games, the 6-5 junior has hit half of his 3-pointers on his way to 16.4 points. Auburn closes the regular season at Alabama. Overton had 17 points and four 3-pointers in the Jan. 31 loss to the Crimson Tide.

Auburn's NCAA Tournament Hopes Up in Smoke after Losing to Ole Miss AUBURN, Ala. – Tahaad Pettiford and Keyshawn Hall combined for 45 points, but Ole Miss made 10 3-pointers and defeated Auburn 85-79 Saturday...

Tahaad Pettiford - Tallies 24 as Auburn falls Pettiford registered 24 points (10-16 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-4 FT), four rebounds, three assists and one steal over 32 minutes during Saturday's 85-79 loss to Ole Miss.

Impact The two-man game of Pettiford and Keyshawn Hall (21 points) wasn't enough to get it done here, as Auburn suffered an embarrassing home loss to a Rebels team that was on a 10-game losing streak. It was at least a good sign for the streaky Pettiford, as he started February with four straight 20-point games, then scored a combined 13 points in games against Kentucky and Oklahoma, before bouncing back here. He and the Tigers will get a chance to rebound Tuesday at home against LSU -- a must-win game if they wish to stay on the right side of the NCAA Tournament bubble.

Pinkins and Storr score 26 apiece, Ole Miss beats Auburn 85-79 to snap a 10-game skid

Patton Pinkins made 8 of 10 from the field and finished with a career-high 26 points, AJ Storr also scored 26 points, and Mississippi beat Auburn 85-79 to snap a 10-game skid

Sebastian Williams-Adams - Not starting Saturday Williams-Adams is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game versus Ole Miss, Justin Ferguson of AuburnObserver.com reports.

Impact Williams-Adams has started every game dating back to Dec. 13 so his move to the bench is a bit surprising. Elyjah Freeman is entering the starting lineup instead while Williams-Adams should still hold a sizeable role coming off the bench.

4 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

KeShawn Murphy - Surprise omission from first unit Murphy isn't part of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against Ole Miss, Justin Ferguson of AuburnObserver.com reports.

Impact Murphy is in uniform and is still expected to play, but his streak of 25 consecutive starts will come to a close Saturday night. Murphy played a season-low 14 minutes in Auburn's most recent game. Filip Jovic will start in Murphy's place.

Auburn hosts Ole Miss following Hall's 26-point showing

Auburn faces the Ole Miss Rebels after Keyshawn Hall scored 26 points in Auburn's 91-79 loss to the Oklahoma Sooners

6 DAYS AGO • Associated Press

Keyshawn Hall - Scores 26, grabs six boards Hall accumulated 26 points (7-10 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 11-11 FT), six rebounds, one assist and one block in 33 minutes during Tuesday's 91-79 loss to Oklahoma.

Impact Since returning from a one-game suspension, Hall has provided 21.7 points on 42.9 percent from the field, 8.3 rebounds and 3.3 assists. He has continued to force his way to the free throw line and has gone 23-of-25 (92.0 percent) from the charity stripe in those three games. The Tigers are in danger of failing to punch a ticket to the Big Dance. They face Ole Miss on Saturday. Hall had 19 points and six boards in the Jan. 20 win over the Rebels.

FEBRUARY 25 • ROTOWIRE

Kevin Overton - Scores 26, grabs seven boards Overton finished with 26 points (9-17 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds and two assists over 40 minutes during Tuesday's 91-79 loss to Oklahoma.

Impact Overton played the entire game and had his first 20-point game since putting 25 on Texas on Jan. 28. He had averaged 10.0 points on 32.4 percent from the field in his four previous games. The 6-5 senior's output wasn't enough to keep the Tigers from losing for the sixth time in the last seven games. They need a win on Saturday against Ole Miss. Overton was limited to two points in the Jan. 20 win over the Rebels.

FEBRUARY 22 • Associated Press

KeShawn Murphy - Provides 25 points, 10 boards Murphy closed with 25 points (9-14 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 6-6 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist and two blocks across 24 minutes during Saturday's 75-74 win over Kentucky.

Impact Murphy had his fifth double-double and third in his last five games. Over his last five games, the 6-10 senior has averaged 15.8 points on 53.8 percent from the field with 10.2 rebounds and 1.6 blocks. The Tigers snapped a five-game losing streak to help their bubble cause. They travel to Oklahoma on Tuesday. Murphy had 16 points and seven rebounds in a loss to the Sooners last season when he was on Mississippi State.

FEBRUARY 22 • ROTOWIRE

Keyshawn Hall - Scores 10, deals seven assists Hall provided 10 points (3-15 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), nine rebounds, seven assists and one steal across 37 minutes during Saturday's 75-74 victory over Kentucky.

Impact Hall struggled with his shot against the Wildcats but was able to contribute on the boards. He also equaled his season high with assists. In his last five games, the 6-7 senior has converted just 34.5 percent from the field and 36.4 percent on 3-pointers. Hall will try to be more efficient on Tuesday against Oklahoma.

FEBRUARY 22 • ROTOWIRE

Elyjah Freeman - Hits game-winning tip-in Freeman contributed 11 points (5-12 FG, 1-4 3Pt), three rebounds, one block and one steal in 27 minutes during Saturday's 75-74 win over Kentucky.

Impact Freeman scored on a second offensive rebound with 1.6 remaining to give the Tigers the win. After Kevin Overton had his shot blocked, KeShawn Murphy missed a first tip before Freeman grabbed the ball and put it in. The 6-8 sophomore had just his second double-digit scoring performance in the last 10 games. Auburn snapped a five-game losing streak and head to Oklahoma on Tuesday.

FEBRUARY 22 • ROTOWIRE

Abdul Bashir - Healthy to return Bashir (back) is no longer on the injury report ahead of Saturday's game against Kentucky.

Impact Bashir is eligible to return after his back problems came to an end. That said, he hasn't played since Nov. 19 and has yet to log more than 15 minutes in a game, so he shouldn't carry a lot of fantasy upside in his return to the hardwood.
