Auburn (16-4, 5-2) lost an absolute rock fight against Mississippi State (14-6, 3-4) on Saturday afternoon in Starkville. The two teams were tied 21-21 at halftime before shooting picked up in the second. Auburn took a 46-45 lead with over seven minutes remaining, but simply couldn't get over the hump and control the game, always allowing State to push back in front. In the end, Auburn lost 64-58. It's the Tigers' second straight loss and second straight Quad I road loss. Rapid reaction, stats and more inside...
