KT Harrell hit a 3-pointer with less than one minute to play and Auburn (12-13, 4-8 SEC) hit four of its final six free throws to close out a 69-68 comeback victory over the Georgia Bulldogs (16-8, 7-5 SEC) in Athens, Georgia.
Auburn head coach Bruce Pearl announced Friday that Tahj Shamsid-Deen will undergo surgery on both shoulders and will miss the rest of the season. "Unfortunately, this has been his fifth or sixth dislocation and a couple on each shoulder," Pearl said. "He has never had a separated shoulder up until this year. He is going to need surgery on both shoulders and he is going to shut down. His first surgery will be next Thursday." Shamsid-Deen, who reinjured his left shoulder during the Tigers' midweek loss to Arkansas, played 23 minutes per game while averaging 6.1 points. "At this point we don't want there to any more damage," Pearl said. "He has been a real warrior battling through pain." The status of fellow guard Antoine Mason is also unclear for the Tigers' Saturday matchup against Georgia. "(Mason) is in New York City with his dad," Pearl said. "It has been a difficult time for Antoine and his family. We just have them in our prayers. We have been in touch every day, talking and texting." Mason's father, former NBA All-Star Anthony Mason, is reportedly fighting for his life in New York, but Pearl said he recommend Mason be there for his family. "He has done so with the team as well," Pearl said. "His status, as far as when he will come back, is uncertain. We will take it day-to-day and pray that his dad survives this really difficult time." With two starting guards likely unavailable for Saturday's showdown against Georgia, Pearl said players such as K.C. Ross-Miller, Malcolm Canada and Patrick Keim will have to step up. Pearl said the trials of the season were taking a toll on the morale of the team, but that his squad would do what it could to make the best of the remaining season. "We will roll our sleeves up every single day and figure out a game plan against the teams we are competing against," Pearl said. "We will keep laying the foundation. I feel bad for our fan base. I really do."
Auburn guard Tahj Shamsid-Deen re-injured his left shoulder during the first half of the Tigers' 101-87 loss to the No. 24 Arkansas Razorbacks. "His shoulder popped out," head coach Bruce Pearl said. "It's probably a little more serious than last time because it stayed out." Shamsid-Deen has separated both shoulders at multiple points throughout this season, but Pearl said this injury was likely more serious since it didn't pop back into place immediately. "It's potentially a little more serious and it's unfortunate because he was playing great," Pearl said. "He got off to a great start and his speed, quickness and defense in a game like this obviously would've helped us." The sophomore guard entered the game Feb. 10 averaging nine points over his previous three games and was 2 of 2 from the floor in three minutes before his injury. Pearl did not say how the injury would affect Shamsid-Deen's status for the Tigers' next game against Georgia on Feb. 14.
LaDarius White scored 20 points and Ole Miss shot 58 percent from the floor as the Rebels topped Auburn 86-79 in the Auburn Arena Saturday. Coming off their first road win of the season Thursday against LSU, the Tigers (11-12, 3-7 SEC) kept pace with the hot-shooting Rebels (16-7, 7-3 SEC) for much of the night, but could not overcome the deficit in the second half. Antoine Mason led all scorers with 23 points while leading scorer KT Harrell contributed 16 points on 5-of-13 shooting. "You can't give up 86 points and win," head coach Bruce Pearl said. "You can't send an opponent to the foul line 38 times and win. You can't let an opponent shoot 71 percent in the second half and win. That's the story of the game." The Tigers led 32-31 at the break behind strong shooting from Harrell, who scored 12 points on four 3-pointers. Mason hit a 3-pointer to give Auburn the lead with 18:34 left in the second half, but that would prove to be the Tigers' final lead. The Rebels shot 71.4 percent from the field in the final half, keeping the Tigers at bay despite multiple runs that cut the deficit. The best free throw shooting team in the nation, Ole Miss went 20-of-24 from the line to close out the win. Leading scorer Stefan Moody finished with 15 points while Jarvis Summers contributed 13 points and seven assists. "Five out of their top seven scorers are guards," Pearl said. "As I said they did a really good job coming off pin downs and getting into the lane. Our guards had a hard time staying in front of them." After the game, Pearl said the team wore down late in the game, contributing to the poor defensive showing. "I had four guys play 30+ minutes," Pearl said. "It's a factor. It showed on the defensive end in the second half." Cinmeon Bowers picked up another double-double with 11 points and 13 rebounds. The junior forward also contributed seven assists. Malcolm Canada scored 12 points in expanded minutes. The Tigers will return to action Feb. 10 when they'll welcome the Arkansas Razorbacks (18-5, 7-3 SEC) to the Auburn Arena. Tipoff is scheduled for 8 p.m.

Despite two bum shoulders and a cut in his hand, Tahj Shamsid-Deen had his best scoring game of SEC play Saturday in the Tigers' 71-63 loss to Tennessee. The sophomore guard scored 14 points, going 6-for-12 from the floor and hitting two 3-pointers despite nagging injuries that have forced him to leave many games early this season. "He's got both shoulders separated," head coach Bruce Pearl said. "He's got a pretty big cut in his hand." Shamsid-Deen has yet to miss a game against a Division I opponent this season and said he is determined to play through the injuries. "I've been all right," Shamsid-Deen said. "I rehab every day, twice a day. I'm just trying to play through it." While a conference-best performance was little consolation for Shamsid-Deen, Pearl said those who watched the game will leave with respect for the toughness and grit he is playing with. "From the standpoint of you walking away from the game, you say '[Tennessee forward] Armani Moore is a beast,'" Pearl said. "But you also walk away knowing that little guy from Auburn plays hard and he's hard to keep in front."
