Auburn, the newly minted No. 1 team in the country, will put their top billing to the test when No. 15 Mississippi State comes through Eastern Alabama.

Auburn men’s basketball came into Tuesday night’s clash against Mississippi State with a target on its back and missing its best player, Johni Broome. That didn’t end the run of dominance, though, as the Tigers cruised to an 88-66 win over the Bulldogs, improving to 16-1 overall and 4-0 in Southeastern Conference play.
