Auburn basketball has fallen out of the top 10 to No. 14 in the latest AP poll after splitting its first two SEC games.
The Tigers lost in their SEC opener to an unranked Ole Miss team 67-82. The Rebels (3-0 SEC) debuted at No. 18 in the poll after a Saturday win on the road against Miss State.
The Tigers' struggles away from home have continued to plague them as they have lost both of their true road games on the season.
On Saturday, the team bounced back with a double-digit win against rival Georgia at home. This was the third straight game where they scored 90 points in Auburn Arena, a mark they haven’t reached in any other venue.
In the next two games, Auburn will square off against Texas A&M on the road Wednesday followed by a Top-25 matchup against No. 12 ranked Kentucky at home on Saturday.
