The Tigers will be looking for their third straight win overall since a road loss at Georgia a week and a half ago, and Bruce Pearl’s team will aim to extend its lengthy home winning streak. Auburn has won 27 consecutive games at home, the nation’s second-longest active home win streak, behind only Gonzaga.

To keep that streak intact, Auburn will have to take care of business against a Mississippi State team that enters the night allowing just 56.8 points per game and is eighth nationally in adjusted defensive efficiency, according to KenPom.
