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.
