Tennessee Volunteers at Auburn Tigers
· NCAA Men's BasketballNo. 1 Auburn slips past No. 6 Tennessee 53-51 and extends its winning streak to 11 games

Auburn (18-1, 6-0 SEC) was held to its lowest point total of the season by Tennessee’s physical defense. Kelly’s 3-pointer off a feed from Broome turned a two-point deficit into a one-point lead.
Tennessee had a chance to take the lead in the final seconds, but a 3-point try the Vols' Zakai Zeigler missed the mark.
Broome, a 6-foot-10, 240-pound fifth-year senior and preseason Associated Press All-American, back in action for the first time since suffering what coach Bruce Pearl called a "significant sprain” to his left ankle two weeks ago in a road win at South Carolina, secured crucial defensive rebounds on Tennessee’s final two possessions.
Zeigler had 14 points, six rebounds and five assists to lead the Volunteers (17-3, 4-3). Chaz Lanier added 10 points, including a pair of clutch 3-pointers in the second half.
Both teams shot less than 32% from the field in the physical, defensive battle.
Auburn: Even at less than 100%, Broome showed how valuable he is to the Tigers’ offense with his standout performance.
