Key moment Broome hit a 3-pointer at the 15:56 mark in the first half to put Auburn in front. That started a 23-8 run that put the hosts in firm control the rest of the way.

Key stat With the win, Pearl tied Joel Eaves for the most career victories in program history at 213.

Up next Auburn visits Texas on Tuesday night for the first SEC meeting between the teams. Missouri returns home to host LSU on Tuesday night.
