AUBURN, Ala. - No. 1 Auburn (20-1, 8-0) will take on the Oklahoma Sooners (16-5, 3-5) Tuesday night in Neville Arena in search of their 14th-consecutive victory.
The Tigers are coming off an impressive 92-82 road win against No. 23 Ole Miss, notching their 12th quad-one win of the season, the most in the NCAA. Since their six-point loss to Duke at Cameron Indoor Stadium, the Tigers have been on a roll, winning 13 straight and claiming the number-one ranking in the AP poll. The Tigers have also won 11 straight at Neville Arena, the 10th-longest streak in the nation.
Senior center and All-American Johni Broome has been the catalyst for the Tigers all season, averaging 18.3 points per game and 11.2 rebounds per game while receiving National Player of the Year buzz. Broome took home SEC Player of the Week honors for his performances against LSU (26 points and 16 rebounds) and Ole Miss (20 points and 12 rebounds). Broome has recorded 73 career double-doubles and is ranked fifth nationally this season with 13 double-doubles.
Oklahoma comes into this one winners of three out of their last four, including a blowout victory over No. 24 Vanderbilt 97-67 in Norman. The Sooners are led by senior forward Jalon Moore, as the Birmingham, Alabama native leads the Sooners with 18.2 points per contest. The Sooners will undoubtedly look for extra production from Moore as they look to upset the No. 1 Tigers on their home floor.
