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...

6 HOURS AGO • SI.COM

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.

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.

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

2 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.

4 DAYS AGO • 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.

Murphy, Freeman help Auburn end skid while dealing Kentucky third straight loss, 75-74

KeShawn Murphy totaled 25 points and 10 rebounds, and Elyjah Freeman tipped in a miss with 1.4 seconds left as Auburn ended a five-game losing streak by handing Kentucky a third st...

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.

Auburn standout Keyshawn Hall could return at Mississippi State after benching

Auburn’s leading scorer, Keyshawn Hall, is practicing with the team and could return to the court at Mississippi State on Wednesday

FEBRUARY 18 • Associated Press

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.

FEBRUARY 17 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact Bashir hasn't played since Nov. 19, missing 20 straight games. However, the junior wing has a shot to return Wednesday on the road against the Bulldogs. He averaged 2.0 points off the bench prior to his extended absence.

FEBRUARY 17 • ROTOWIRE

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.
