Following winter break, the Auburn Tigers return to action in their third SEC game of the season - and easily the biggest matchup thus far. No. 13 Arkansas rolls into town following a close win over No. 20 Missouri and a desire to rise back into the top four of the SEC standings. Auburn, on the other hand, is looking to avoid a skid after losing to Georgia on the road earlier in the week - the No. 22 Tigers are 3-3 in their last six contests. Now that break is over, the Auburn students are back and excited for another incredible game inside Neville Arena. The Jungle was out in full force and ready for the game hours before the gates even opened. Here's a gallery of some of the Auburn faithful as we roll closer to tip between Auburn and Arkansas.

Green, Flanigan spark Auburn victory over No. 13 Arkansas Mark Murphy 6–7 minutes AUBURN, Alabama–It was an All-Orange game for Auburn fans at Neville Arena, but it was Green Day on the court with the Tigers’ junior point guard leading his team to a 72-59 SEC basketball victory over the 13th-ranked Arkansas Razorbacks. The Tigers also got a strong defensive effort, holding the visitors to 33.9 percent shooting. Wendell Green scored a team-high 19 points as he hit 5-8 field goals, 2-4 threes and 7-9 free throws. The junior point guard dished out five assists, had three steals and pulled in three rebounds. Green helped the Tigers finish plus 19 in points off of turnovers as the home team had just eight, matching their season-best, to 14 for the visitors. Green led all players in plus/minus with the Tigers outscoring the Razorbacks by 15 points when he was on the court. Allen Flanigan came off the bench to score 18 points. The senior four hit 5-9 field goals, 3-5 treys and 5-6 free throws while adding eight rebounds. "It was huge to me because I haven't beaten the Hogs since I was at Auburn," the senior forward said. With the win the Tigers improved to 2-1 in the SEC and 12-3 overall. The Razorbacks dropped to 12-3 overall and 1-2 in the league. It was Auburn's 27th victory at Neville Arena and ended a three-game losing streak in games vs. the Razorbacks. "We needed that," Coach Bruce Pearl said. "Could you have expected that? I don't know, but they really showed me something tonight–the bounce back, the quick turnaround. We played great from the start. We got Wendell some really good looks against the Arkansas defense and he got us off to a great start. "It was wonderful to see Allen Flanigan have one of the best games of his career in an important game," Pearl added. "It was probably one of the top four or five wins I have had at home in Neville Arena so it was a big one, a real important win, and it was start to finish. I am very proud of the kids...It was just a great team effort." Johni Broome’s three-straight double-doubles are the first for an Auburn player since Austin Wiley did it against LSU, Alabama and Missouri during the 2019-20 season. The first-year Tiger extended his double-digit scoring streak to nine-straight games. The Tigers opened the game with a four-point play by Green and led the entire first half. Pearl said in his coaching career he can't remember a game when that happened for one of his teams. At the break Auburn was on top 36-25 with Green scoring a dozen points and Flanigan adding nine points. Auburn spent almost the entire first half in a zone defense, something that continued the rest of the night, which is highly unusual for a Pearl coached team. Asked if he ever remembered the Tigers playing that much zone while at Auburn, Flanigan said, "That was a lot, a lot of zone that we played tonight so that's probably the first time I've ever been here and played zone pretty much the whole game." Commenting on the zone, Pearl said, “Arkansas is better from two than three. "That little flat 2-3 zone really bothered them and they struggled with it. They are going to see it all year long and our guys did a great job with it. We have it in the package and I think it also helped our man defense, because in the zone, you have a gap and you have to build a wall. When guys are in zone, they get that feeling that when you play a team that is better from the two than the three and drive it like Arkansas does, you have to play your man like that also.” Arkansas made just 8-24 field goals (33.3 percent) in the first 20 minutes and was 1-6 on three-pointers to help Auburn build its lead. The Razorbacks really struggled at the foul line, making 8-17 in the first half. The Tigers hit 12-29 field goals in the first half for 41.4 percent and made 5-11 three-pointers plus 7-9 free throws. Arkansas was plus six in first half rebounding, but Auburn negated that by having just four turnovers, four less than the Razorbacks, and outscoring Arkansas 15-4 in points off of turnovers. Wendell Green drives vs. the Razorbacks. (Photo: Jason Caldwell, 247Sports) Auburn outscored Arkansas 36-34 in the second half by shooting 46.2 percent from the field to 34.4 percent for the visitors. The Tigers built the lead to as many as 15 points in the second half at 42-27. For the game Arkansas made just 33.9 percent of its field goals while Auburn made 43.6 percent. The shooting difference allowed Auburn to overcome being out-rebounded 45-32. Arkansas made 19-56 field goals, 2-16 threes and 19-32 free throws. Auburn made 24-55 field goals, 7-21 threes and 17-22 free throws. "We just made sure everybody was communicating on defense," Flanigan said on Auburn's performance after a disappointing loss at Georgia. Pearl said his team's ball-handling was a key to success vs. an Arkansas team that thrives on transition points off of live ball turnovers. “The key to the game was not turning it over,” Pearl said. “The key to the game was understanding, let’s get a shot. The other thing we emphasized was, just take open shots.” Worth Noting, Part 1: Auburn outscored the Razorbacks 27-8 in bench points. Worth Noting, Part 2: Despite being out-rebounded by 13, the Tigers actually outscored Arkansas 11-8 in second-chance points. Stat of the Game: Auburn scored 25 points off of turnovers to just six for the Razorbacks. Box Score

Instant Analysis: Tigers consistent play leads to comfortable win over Arkansas Taylor Jones ~3 minutes After a poor offensive outing in Wednesday’s loss to Georgia, the No. 20 Auburn Tigers needed to find confidence and hoped it would be found within the walls of Neville Arena. The Tigers were able to find consistent production in both halves Saturday against Arkansas, as they cruised to a 72-59 win over the No. 13 Razorbacks. Buy Tigers Tickets Three Tigers ended the night in double-figures, led by Wendell Green Jr.’s 19 points and followed by Allen Flanigan’s 18 and Johni Broome’s 10-point night. Auburn scored 36 points in both halves, shooting 44% in the game. Defensively, Auburn limited Arkansas’ hot-shooting offense to 34% from the field, and 13% from three-point range. In the second half, Auburn shut down most of Arkansas’ scoring by limiting Ricky Council IV to just five points in the half. The Razorbacks relied heavily on freshman Anthony Black, who scored 18 of Arkansas’ 34 second-half points. The Tigers got solid production from their bench in the game, as they added 27 points from nonstarters. Outside of Flanigan’s impressive game, K.D. Johnson added four points, while Tre Donaldson and Dylan Cardwell added three and two points respectively. Both offenses came out with all guns blazing through the first ten minutes of the first half, but none more than Auburn guard Wendell Green Jr. Green, who went 2-for-12 in Wednesday’s loss to Georgia, posted 10 points during the stretch. He reached that total by going 3-for-4 from the field, and 2-of-3 from the three-point territory as Auburn led 24-17. Green would end the half with 12 points, which matched his average per game. Both teams would close the half at a much slower pace. The Tigers outscored Arkansas 11-8 over the final ten minutes of the first half to take a 36-25 lead into the locker room. The Razorbacks ended the half without a field goal over the final 2:13 and ended the half by just shooting 33%. Auburn also went through a stretch during the half where they did not record a point. Tre Donaldson connected on a three-pointer with 3:09 remaining in the first half to give Auburn the 31-24 lead. The basket snapped a field goal dry spell that lasted 7:43. Auburn shot 41% from the field in the first half, and scored 15 points off of eight Arkansas turnovers. The Tigers also got 14 points from their bench in the half, led by Allen Flanigan’s nine-point showing. Auburn’s next game will take place on Tuesday in Oxford, Mississippi, as they face the Ole Miss Rebels for an 8 p.m. CT tipoff from the Pavillion at Ole Miss.

Oklahoma State wide receiver transfer Bryson Green to visit Auburn JD McCarthy ~2 minutes Auburn is continuing to work the transfer portal and is getting a big visitor on Friday. Oklahoma State transfer wide receiver Bryson Green will be visiting the Tigers on Friday, according to a report by Jeffrey Lee of Auburn Live. Green was one of the Cowboy’s top receivers last season, catching 36 passes for 584 yards and five touchdowns. The 6-foot-1, 205-pound wide receiver has two seasons of eligibility remaining. A former three-star recruit he has emerged as a top target in the portal since he entered on Jan. 5 and is also being heavily pursued by Ole Miss. and is expected to visit them this weekend. The Tigers are looking to help a wide receiver room that has to produce more in 2023.

Auburn could be a ‘perfect fit’ for LSU transfer DeMario Tolan Taylor Jones ~2 minutes Auburn placed former four-star linebacker DeMario Tolan high on their priority list during his recruitment. However, Tolan elected to sign with SEC-rival LSU out of Dr. Phillips High School in Orlando, Florida. After spending a season on the Bayou, fate may have brought him back to the Plains. Tolan was on campus Thursday to visit the campus that he got to know so well, and was able to meet new Auburn coaches including linebackers coach Josh Aldridge and defensive coordinator Ron Roberts. In an interview with Auburn Undercover (subscription required), Tolan says that he feels Auburn will be a great place for him to get a fresh start. “The highlight of my visit today was just the new staff and how well I feel like they’re going to be for me,” Tolan said. “Just overall I feel like it’d be a great place for me moving forward. I think that they’re at a great place — just a great coach. I feel like they’re going to be a perfect fit for me and just happy to have it be my first visit.” Tolan appeared in nine games for LSU in 2022, recording nine total tackles. His best game took place against Ole Miss on Oct. 22, when he made four stops. Before signing with LSU, Tolan was the No. 20 linebacker from the 2022 recruiting cycle according to 247Sports and was the No. 24 overall prospect from the state of Florida. Tolan will also take visits to Missouri and Colorado before making his decision. List Offense by the numbers: Top Tigers by snap count Story originally appeared on Auburn W

Behind Enemy Lines: Auburn-Arkansas preview with Razorbacks Wire’s Connor Goodson Taylor Jones 5–6 minutes The No. 20 Auburn Tigers dropped their first SEC contest of the season on Wednesday, falling to Georgia, 76-64 at Stegeman Coliseum in Athens. Next on the schedule is a home date with the No. 13 Arkansas Razorbacks this Saturday at 7:30 p.m. CT at Neville Arena. Following a loss on Wednesday to a rival, plus the ending of last season’s game in Fayetteville, Auburn will enter Saturday’s contest with a sour taste in their mouths. The last time these two teams met, Auburn traveled to Bud Walton Arena as the No. 1 team in the country and left with an 80-76 overtime loss. First-rounders Jabari Smith and Walker Kessler joined Wendell Green Jr. in reaching double-figures in the score column, but Arkansas took advantage of Auburn fouls by scoring 11 of their 14 overtime points from the free throw line. All eyes will be on Neville Arena this Saturday, as Auburn and Arkansas will be the only game in the SEC featuring two ranked teams. In an effort to help us learn more about Auburn’s next opponent, we reached out to Razorbacks Wire’s Connor Goodson for assistance. Goodson joined us to discuss Arkansas’ first SEC win of the season over Missouri, injury woes, and the growing legend of Ricky Council VI. Without further delay, here is the next edition of Behind Enemy Lines with Connor Goodson of Razorbacks Wire. The Council of Fayettville Nelson Chenault-USA TODAY Sports Arkansas’ most recent win was a come-from-behind effort over Missouri. What was the biggest halftime adjustment that ended up leading the Razorbacks to a win? Missouri, like a lot of teams this season, came out in zone and had a lot of success due to Arkansas’ lack of perimeter shooting. Musselman inserted freshman sharpshooter Joseph Pinion in the second half to provide some shooting and it worked. Pinion knocked down three from deep to open up the Missouri zone and give guys like Ricky Council lanes to attack. Next man up Nelson Chenault-USA TODAY Sports Arkansas has two significant injuries on the report, Trevon Brazile and Nick Smith Jr. Who has stepped up in their absence? Anthony Black and Ricky Council have been huge for this team all season, and are being asked to do a lot on offense. Freshman wing Jordan Walsh has played with a lot more confidence since the Brazile injury and his offense is starting to catch up with his defense. Makhi Mitchell has also been really solid down low. Building a new image Nelson Chenault-USA TODAY Sports This year’s roster is almost completely different from last season’s thanks to additions from the transfer portal and solid high school talent. How does Eric Musselman manage his rotation with so many talented players on the roster? That’s really Musselman’s M.O. He likes the challenge and has fully embraced having a lot of roster turnover each season. He also has a reputation for very short rotations, playing maybe seven or eight guys at most each game. Arkansas has one of the deepest rosters in the conference, but that hasn’t really changed how many guys see meaningful minutes. Pinion breaking out against Missouri is a good example of Arkansas having guys on the bench that can play, but they’re just not cracking the short, nightly rotation. Shocking the world Nelson Chenault-USA TODAY Sports Auburn’s strong suit to this point of the season has been defense. Which Razorback has the best chance to have a great night offensively? Ricky Council has been Arkansas’ offense for the majority of this season. Arkansas was down 17 to Missouri in the first half on Wednesday, and Council only had four points. He finished with 25 and the Hogs won. He’s going to need to continue to be great and Anthony Black needs to get going again. He’s been stuffing the stat sheet with rebounds, assists and steals, but hasn’t had a really dominant offensive performance since his breakout game in Maui around Thanksgiving. Standing tall Nelson Chenault-USA TODAY Sports What does Arkansas need to do well in order to leave Neville Arena with a win? Continue to play really good defense, force turnovers and get out in transition as much as possible. Auburn will probably throw some different zone or match-up zone looks their way in the halfcourt, so they’re going to have to knock down perimeter shots and continue to be aggressive in attacking the rim. By the hair of the hog Nelson Chenault-USA TODAY Sports What is your final score prediction? Arkansas in a close one, 75-72. Story originally appeared on Auburn Wire

Former Auburn linebacker to be inducted into Cotton Bowl Hall of Fame Taylor Jones 2–3 minutes One of the best defenders in Auburn’s history is being recognized by one of College Football’s most prestigious bowl games. Will Herring, who played safety and linebacker for Auburn from 2003-06, is one of seven athletes who will be inducted into the Cotton Bowl Hall of Fame, representatives of the Cotton Bowl Classic announced. Herring will be enshrined into the reputable game’s hall of fame due to his performance in Auburn’s 2007 Cotton Bowl win over Nebraska. Herring earned the McKnight Trophy, which is given to the game’s top defensive performer after making seven stops in Auburn’s 17-14 win. In a press release, the Cotton Bowl revealed why Herring was worth the induction. Will Herring had the blue and orange of Auburn University in his DNA. Born and raised less than 10 miles from the Auburn campus, he was a Tiger through and through. Herring was tough, smart, and possessed that all-important team-first mentality. He led Auburn in tackles as a junior at safety and again as a senior at linebacker. The 71st Cotton Bowl Classic was Herring’s 49th consecutive and final start for the Tigers, and his seven solo tackles were instrumental in helping Auburn take home a 17-14 victory over Nebraska. But it didn’t come easy. An Auburn turnover near midfield with just 5:24 to play could have proved costly, but it presented Herring and his defensive teammates one last opportunity to shine. They met the challenge and dashed Nebraska’s comeback hopes at the Auburn 30 to preserve a hard-fought victory for the Tigers. Herring will be inducted into the Cotton Bowl Classic Hall of Fame as a member of the hall’s 13th class on May 11 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Herring will be enshrined with seven others, including former Ole Miss quarterback Eli Manning and former Missouri head coach Gary Pinkel.

After Georgia loss, accountability key for Auburn ahead of Arkansas clash Published: Jan. 06, 2023, 3:44 p.m. 4–5 minutes Auburn Basketball After Georgia loss, Auburn players holding each other accountable ahead of clash with Arkansas Auburn guard Zep Jasper (12) and Chris Moore (41) battle for a rebound during the second half of an NCAA college basketball game against Georgia Wednesday, Jan. 4, 2023, in Athens, Ga. (AP Photo/John Bazemore)AP Bruce Pearl hasn’t seen many smiles around Neville Arena the last couple days. Since returning from Athens, Ga., following a disconcerting double-digit road loss to a rebuilding Georgia team on Wednesday night, No. 22 Auburn hasn’t found much of a reason to be happy. The Tigers have been businesslike and introspective the last two days as they look to rebound Saturday for what will be their toughest test to date — a 7:30 p.m. showdown at home against No. 13 Arkansas. Read more Auburn sports: Auburn football swiftly making strides with long-overdue overhaul along offensive line Goodman: Opportunity is power in college football Bruce Pearl has ‘no doubts’ about Chance Westry despite Auburn freshman’s diminished role “Our guys want to win,” Auburn coach Bruce Pearl said Friday. “We had a great preparation for Georgia, didn’t get it done, and so far it’s been a good preparation against Arkansas, but we know that Arkansas is the best team we’ve played so far this year. So, it’s going to take something special.” It’s going to take something more than Auburn has been able to produce in recent weeks. Since beating Colgate on Dec. 2 to improve to 8-0, Auburn is just 3-3 over the last month of games, including a 1-3 mark away from Neville Arena. Pearl said after that Colgate win that if the Tigers didn’t start playing better, they would start to struggle as the schedule ramped up. That’s just what has happened. While Auburn has still been a quality team this season and has seen growth in some areas, it has not been without its issues, which have produced setbacks in the win-loss column. The latest loss, by 12 against the Bulldogs and first-year coach Mike White this week, resulted in a team meeting before practice Thursday that Pearl said showed good accountability from his players. “We talked about just improving our energy, coming out there and being more vocal in practice,” senior Allen Flanigan said. “Just constantly talking the whole practice while we’re on defense, making sure guys are in the right spots. We talked about leadership, getting on guys when they’re not doing what they’re supposed to and not going as hard as they can. Just holding everybody accountable.” It’s a promising sign for a team with a veteran core as it looks to get back on track. While it’s a step in the right direction and shows a willingness by the players to take responsibility, Auburn is sure to have its hands full against a talented Arkansas team at Neville Arena on Saturday night. Where there’s a challenge, though, there’s also opportunity. In Auburn’s case, it’s a chance at its biggest win of the season — and one that will surely keep the Tigers ranked in the top-25 of the AP poll, where they’ve resided for 28 consecutive weeks. “It’s like chopping wood, man,” Pearl said. “We just, we’re chopping wood. We’re grinding. We get to the next play. You can’t let the highs get too high. You can’t let the lows (get) too low. We’ve got to take advantage of every opportunity that we have. This is a chance to stay in the top-25, if we can get it. That’s part of making history. That’s kind of what we play for, but in order to do that, we’ll have to have our best effort. “We’ll have to have the best game, We’ll have to play the best we’ve played all year long.” Tom Green is an Auburn beat reporter for Alabama Media Group.

OT transfer Gunner Britton: 'It’s everything I’ve dreamed of having since I was a little kid' Christian Clemente 3–4 minutes Former Western Kentucky offensive tackle Gunner Britton had visited Mississippi State and he had other visits lined up before the transfer window closed, but once he got to Auburn that was all he needed to see. Britton announced his commitment to Auburn on Thursday night as he wrapped up his official visit to Auburn, departing on Friday morning. "For me it just felt like the best place to come play my last year," Britton said. "I’ve got one year, I’ve got one opportunity to make it. It’s a little bit different compared to high school I wasn’t really a heavily recruited guy so having a bunch of schools reach out and having about a week and a half, two week decision. Even coming on my visits I had a couple visits lined up but I found the place I wanted to play at and that was enough for me." It'll be a quick turnaround for Britton, as he heads back to Western Kentucky on Saturday to pack up and drive to Auburn on Sunday. Classes will start on Jan. 11 for Britton at Auburn. "Yeah I can’t wait," Britton said. "It’s everything I’ve dreamed of having since I was a little kid. You always want to play in the SEC and in an environment like that here and a fanbase that’s a little different than I’m used to. It’s really exciting for me and my family to make one part of my dream come true. Obviously the goal is to go to the NFL but being able to play in the SEC is something I’ve always wanted to do even being a little kid so it’s going to be a nice experience." The former Western Kentucky offensive tackle is a graduate transfer with one year of eligibility remaining. He was a second team Conference USA selection in 2022 and has played in every game but two for the Hilltoppers since 2019. Those reps came entirely at left tackle and some right tackle during the 2022 season. "Right now I’ll most likely be playing left tackle but I can also play right tackle like I did this year so really and truly anywhere on the line that gets me on the field," Britton said. 9COMMENTS Britton will actually spend his final season getting coached by some familiar faces. "Coach Bernardi, his brother-in-law was our tight ends coach at Western," Britton said. "Coach Helton and Coach Freeze have known each other a long time and I’ve known Coach Thornton a good while. So just knowing all those guys and understanding how they coach was really nice getting in here and seeing them all together and seeing what they’re trying to build here at Auburn." ">247Sports

What makes Auburn signee Kayin Lee so special? Zac Blackerby ~2 minutes Home Auburn Daily Football How Auburn could use Kayin Lee How Auburn could use Kayin Lee. 0 seconds of 1 minute, 22 secondsVolume 0% Kayin Lee's ability, speed, and experience should allow him to play early. Kayin Lee's versatility coupled with his natural ability as a defender could make him a special player at Auburn. He made some plays this week at the All American Bowl practices that caught the attention of scouts in attendance. Sports Illustrated's director of football recruiting John Garcia talked about Lee and what he brings as a player. "I love what he does at the catch point," Garcia said on Locked On Auburn. "He can get lost in the route there but when he arrives and when the ball arrives, the timing, the ball skills, the physicality, it's all there at that moment. He had a couple of pass breakups that I saw. But really the speed is what you take away from it. The ability to hit the gas when you need him to. So I think coupled with his size and experience in the secondary, I'm starting to think more nickel the more I see Kayin Lee. And that's so important in this day and age. Think of the offenses Auburn is going to face week in, week out." Lee flipped to Auburn from Ohio State on Early Signing Day.

i did not know that and have never seen him. on here. thanx for the info. i messaged red to get him to be a regular. no wonder i did not hear back.
