AUBURN -- Auburn (18-4, 7-2) bounced back from an 0-2 week to go 2-0, including landing their first Quad I win of the season. It was an encouraging week highlighted by an impressive 14-point road win at Ole Miss, a team that hadn't lost a home game all season. The Tigers have an average national rating of 5.8 between KenPom, T-Rank, EvanMiya, ESPN's BPI and the NET. Only four teams in college basketball right now have an offensive and defensive efficiency inside the top 15: Purdue, UConn, Arizona and Auburn. But while Auburn's win over Vanderbilt got the team back on track and the win over Ole Miss was a critical resume builder, things are just getting cranked up. The SEC's top team currently, Alabama, comes to town on Wednesday night for a monster showdown. The Tigers then have to turn around and play at Florida, another Quad I opportunity, where Auburn hasn't won since the 1995-96 season, losing 14 straight in Gainesville. But before all that, as we always do, let's highlight three standouts from the last week.
