Auburn basketball passed its most recent test by squeaking by Tennessee in a defensive battle, 53-51, at Neville Arena in Auburn. The win pushes Auburn to an 18-1 record and a 6-0 mark in SEC play.

No. 1 Auburn stayed perfect in SEC play and survived an upset bid on Saturday over No. 6 Tennessee with a 53-51 win at Neville Arena. Auburn star big man Johni Broome returned to the court after missing the last two games with an ankle injury and scored a game-high 16 points in his team's seventh win over a ranked opponent this season.

Miles Kelly hit a go-ahead 3-pointer with 30 seconds remaining and Johni Broome had 16 points and 13 rebounds in his return to the lineup as No. 1 Auburn extended its winning streak to 11 games with a 53-51 win over No.

Johni Broome returned, but it was a late three-point shot from Miles Kelly that stoles the show for the Auburn Tigers.
