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.

Impact Freeman scored on a second offensive rebound with 1.6 remaining to give the Tigers the win.

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.

Keyshawn Hall - Will play Wednesday Hall (suspension) will be available for Wednesday's game against Mississippi State, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact Hall's suspension for falling short of program standards will end after just one game, as the star forward has been given the green light to play Wednesday. He's been one of the SEC's most productive players this season, averaging 20.7 points, 6.8 rebounds and 2.6 assists across 33 minutes.

Abdul Bashir - Game-time call Wednesday Bashir (back) is a game-time decision for Auburn's tilt at Mississippi State on Wednesday.

Keyshawn Hall - Practicing, status remains murky Hall (suspension) practiced Monday for Auburn and is partaking in practice on Tuesday, per Justin Ferguson of AuburnObserver.com.

Impact Hall missed the Tigers' loss to Vanderbilt on Valentines Day due to a suspension for violating team codes of conduct. It's unclear exactly what situation the star senior forward got himself into, and his status remains unclear for Auburn's game at Mississippi State on Wednesday. Still, the fact that Hall is practicing is a good sign, and in all honesty, the NCAA Tournament bubble-riding Tigers can't afford to hold him out much longer; he averages 20.7 points, 6.8 rebounds and 2.6 assists this season.

What Steven Pearl Said About Keyshawn Hall's Absence in Loss to Arkansas Auburn Tigers forward Keyshawn Hall did not play in the loss to Arkansas after being benched against Vanderbilt.

Tahaad Pettiford - Puts up 27 points, seven dimes Pettiford provided 29 points (11-18 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds and seven assists over 38 minutes during Saturday's 88-75 loss to Arkansas.

Impact Pettiford has strung three straight 20-point games for the first time this season. In the Tigers' four-game losing streak, the 6-1 junior has provided 21.5 points on 47.0 percent from the field and 6.3 assists. If Keyshawn Hall (suspension) remains out, Pettiford will continue to command plenty of offensive opportunities. Auburn plays Mississippi State on Wednesday. Pettiford scored 12 points in the win over the Bulldogs last season.

KeShawn Murphy - Scores 22, grabs 12 boards Murphy ended Saturday's 88-75 loss to Arkansas with a season-high 22 points (9-16 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-6 FT), 12 rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal in 34 minutes.

Impact Murphy took a greater share of the offense with Keyshawn Hall (suspension) out. His 16 field goal attempts were five more than his previous season high and he had his fourth double-double, all in conference play. The 6-10 senior will likely have a higher usage rate going forward with Hall out. The Tigers will look to snap a four-game losing streak on Wednesday at Mississippi State, his previous team for three seasons.

Elyjah Freeman - Starts, snags nine boards Freeman provided nine points (3-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), a season-high nine rebounds, one block and one steal across 36 minutes during Saturday's 88-75 loss to Arkansas.

Impact Freeman moved into the starting lineup for Keyshawn Hall (suspension) and played a season high in minutes. The 6-8 sophomore started nine of the first 10 games this season, but had been coming off the bench for the most part in conference play. He is averaging 9.2 points and 4.8 rebounds.

Keyshawn Hall - Out indefinitely Hall (suspension) is out indefinitely, according to Justin Ferguson of The Auburn Observer.

Impact Disciplinary reasons explain why Hall did not play Auburn's latest game and indicate why the Tigers will not have him moving forward, at least temporarily. "Key did not live up to the standards of our program this week. It has been addressed... We'll roll with the guys we finished with against Vanderbilt," Auburn's head coach Steven Pearl announced pregame. While there are no specifics as to what exactly caused Hall's status downgrade, it looks like the HC has accepted moving on without his superstar senior, averaging 20.7 points and 6.8 rebounds this season. Elyjah Freeman started in Hall's absence at Arkansas, though the return of Hall is expected to relegate his teammate back to the bench. Hall has been incredibly excellent this season to the point that Auburn losing him long-term would be monumental, and his return should mean he reclaims his previous role as top cat for the Tigers.
