Auburn's Tahaad Pettiford was sent to the line, but he only knocked down one, giving Tennessee the ball back with 12 seconds to play. The Vols pushed to their side of the court, and Rick Barnes called a timeout to set up the final play down 53-51.

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.

Auburn basketball proved last Saturday that any win is a good win. The No. 1 Tigers defeated No. 7 Tennessee, 53-51, on Saturday at Neville Arena despite shooting 31% from the field. Two of its offensive weapons, Denver Jones and Chad Baker-Mazara, were shut out from the field, and freshman Tahaad Pettiford shot 33% on the night.

Duke had already won at Wake Forest to extend its winning streak to 13 games, and now Auburn was down four points to Tennessee in the final two minutes at home, at which point Saturday looked like it might deliver a development that would create change at the top of the Top 25 And 1.

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.
