Fri Mar 14 18:50:00 UTC 2025: ## Auburn Tigers Face Familiar Foe in SEC Tournament Quarterfinals
**Nashville, TN** – The Auburn Tigers men’s basketball team will face off against the Ole Miss Rebels in the SEC Tournament quarterfinals this Friday at noon CT. The game, airing on ESPN, marks a rematch for the Tigers, who dominated Ole Miss twice during the regular season, including a decisive 30-point victory in their last encounter.
Auburn boasts a strong record against Ole Miss this year, having won both previous matchups. While the first game was a closer contest (92-82), the second saw Auburn shoot season-high percentages from both the field (59.6%) and three-point range (52.4%).
Ole Miss, the No. 8 seed, enters the tournament after a narrow 83-80 win over Arkansas in the first round. The Rebels’ victory hinged on a game-winning three-pointer by star guard Sean Pedulla, who had a season-high 29 points against Auburn earlier this season. Despite Pedulla’s clutch shot, he finished the Arkansas game with only 10 points on 4-of-12 shooting.
The Tigers will be looking to continue their success against Ole Miss and advance further in the tournament. The matchup promises to be a compelling one, pitting Auburn’s dominant regular season performance against Ole Miss’s tournament-tested grit.
