Breaking down the SEC's dominance, St. John's turnaround and the Big East title race

Tyler Tanner - Brutal shooting continues Tanner ended with four points (1-5 FG, 2-2 FT) and two steals in 20 minutes during Tuesday's 80-68 loss to Auburn.

Impact Tanner has now shot 17.6 percent from the field over the past four games. The freshman has seemingly hit a wall as of late, but he'll continue to see solid minutes for the Commodores as they desperately push for an NCAA tournament bid.

Devin McGlockton - Registers double-double in loss McGlockton supplied 10 points (4-8 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 13 rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal in 30 minutes during Tuesday's 80-68 loss to Auburn.

Impact McGlockton notched his fourth double-double of the season in the loss to Auburn on Tuesday. The forward also drilled his only three-pointer and blocked two shots, but predictably, it wasn't enough to upset the top team in the nation. McGlockton remains a nightly double-double threat.

Tahaad Pettiford - Two threes off bench win win Pettiford amassed nine points (3-6 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, two assists and one steal over 25 minutes during Tuesday's 80-68 win over Vanderbilt.

Impact Pettiford hit multiple threes off the bench for the third straight game, yet another example of what makes this Tigers offense so dangerous. Other than that, he was mostly quiet, but the freshman is a clear special talent and considering he averages 11.5 points, 1.9 rebounds and 2.7 assists on 44/40/84 shooting splits, he'll continue to be a critical piece of Auburn's rotation as the Tigers chase the No. 1 overall seed in the NCAA tournament.

Miles Kelly - Ice cold in win Kelly produced three points (1-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist and one steal across 26 minutes during Tuesday's 80-68 victory over Vanderbilt.

Impact Kelly's three points were easily one of his lowest totals on the season. He hit one three-pointer and that was it. This is coming off a 22-point outing in the loss to Florida, and this is just the fourth time since the new calendar year that Kelly has failed to hit double-digit points. He'll look to bounce back in what's shaping up to be the game of the year in college hoops as No. 2 Alabama hosts No. 1 Auburn on Saturday.

Dylan Cardwell - Balanced, quiet output in win Cardwell totaled six points (2-3 FG, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists, two blocks and two steals over 18 minutes during Tuesday's 80-68 victory over Vanderbilt.

Impact Cardwell did what we've come to expect from the big man against the Commodores. Play around 20 minutes, don't take many shots - but make the ones you do - and contribute in other little ways with an assist here, a steal here, and so on and so fourth. With Johni Broome also in the front court, Cardwell simply needs to play his role for this Tigers team to flourish, and that's exactly what the starting center has been doing.

Chaney Johnson - Nearly perfect off the bench Johnson supplied 20 points (9-10 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds and two steals in 28 minutes during Tuesday's 80-68 win over Vanderbilt.

Impact Johnson dropped 20 points off the bench and was a stunning 9-of-10 from the field, with his only miss coming on a three-point attempt (where the forward shoots 29.7 percent this season). Johnson has been extremely efficient in his last three outings and will remain a key part of Auburn's front court, even off the bench since the return of Johni Broome.
