Auburn accomplished quite a bit during the regular season -- Southeastern Conference champion, top-ranked for seven straight weeks, a virtual lock as a No. 1 seed in the upcoming NCAA Tournament. But after losing their last two regular-season games, the No. 3-ranked Tigers (27-4) feel they have important work to do in the SEC tournament.

The Auburn Tigers and Ole Miss Rebels will meet for the third time on Friday when they play in the quarterfinals of the SEC Tournament.

Auburn enters play today looking to rebound from a 93-91 loss in overtime at home in their regular season finale. The bright spot for Coach Bruce Pearl in the loss to Bama was the resurgence of Johni Broome. The National Player of the Year candidate poured in 34 points after scoring a total of 17 points the previous two games.
