After Auburn's 92-82 win this weekend, head coach Bruce Pearl was made available to the media where he was asked if he saw any similarities between what Rebels head coach Chris Beard is building in Oxford and what Pearl has built in Auburn. Pearl's first word was "absolutely."

Ole Miss basketball coach Chris Beard learned that this Rebels are close to beating the nation's best. He plans to get them there for March.

The Tigers had four different players hit from long range as Auburn ended the half on a 6-0 run. Ole Miss shot 40% from deep and was led by Jaemyn Brakefield’s 12 first half points.
