Auburn has been one of the SEC's better road teams so far in the 2016-17 season, winning three of their four games played on an opponent's home court. The Tigers have won at Oklahoma (74-70), at UCONN (70-67 in OT) and most recently at Missouri (77-72). Their lone road loss came at Vanderbilt (80-61) on January 4th.
The Tigers enter Saturday's game having lost three of their last four contests. After winning four games in a row from mid-to-late December the Tigers have been on a slide, only defeating Missouri and losing to Georgia, Vanderbilt and Ole Miss. They are 1-3 in SEC play.
The biggest crowd Auburn has played in front of this season was just more than 12,000, in that road game against UCONN. On Saturday they will play in front of a Rupp Arena crowd that should be close to twice that number.
Auburn has 11 players who average 11 minutes or more per game. While Mustapha Heron is the Tigers' leading scorer (16.2 PPG) by a good margin, just three Auburn players average eight or more points per game.
