Auburn hosts Ole Miss tomorrow in a pivotal SEC match-up for both teams. The Tigers, 10-6 (0-2), and Rebels 11-5 (1-1) split last year's series, each winning at home. Auburn's win will be in the back of the visitors' minds, as the Tigers came back from 20 points down to win 76-73.

| Auburn looks to stop Murphy Holloway and Ole Miss. |
If the Tigers are to win, they will have to find a way to stop the Rebels' Murphy Holloway. Holloway had missed three games with an ankle injury, before returning to the lineup Wednesday in a 71-63 home win versus Arkansas. Listed at 6'7, Holloway is the workhorse, the heart and soul of the Rebels. Though not a prolific scorer or shooter, he is great at second chance points. He finished Wednesday's game with 19 points and 14 rebounds. Ole Miss outrebounded the Razorbacks 48-26.
Auburn must build the solid performance they displayed in a 68-53 loss against#2 Kentucky on Wednesday. Auburn's rebounding must continue to improve and that includes keeping Holloway off the offensive glass. Tip-off at the Auburn Arena is 12:30 CST.
