Auburn’s three-game set in Las Vegas last week included games against a pair of Top 25 teams, but there is no time for a break.

The Tigers will play a talented North Carolina State team Wednesday night inside Auburn Arena. That game is part of the SEC/ACC Challenge.

Then it’s off to Arizona for a showdown with the No. 2 Wildcats on Saturday night.

Coach Steven Pearl said Tuesday that he’s proud of the way his team responded after the 30-point loss to Michigan in Vegas. It overcame a halftime deficit to earn an 85-74 win over the Red Storm. Keeping that momentum going, Pearl said, depends on consistency from PG Tahaad Pettiford and C KeShawn Murphy among others.
