On the Road Again

Ole Miss(10-6, 1-2) will travel to Auburn(9-6, 0-2) on Saturday. The Rebels come into their game after beating Georgia for their first SEC win of the season in an ugly game. The Rebels have received strong play lately out of their sixth man. Todd Abernathy has come off the bench in the past 10 games in which he has posted six double digit scoring games. Auburn is led by freshman guard Toney Douglas, who leads the SEC with 19.7 ppg. Under first year coach Jeff Lebo the Tigers have been developing their team. The Tigers surprisingly played a close game against Florida before losing in overtime. Two members of the Ole Miss program were a part of the Auburn Tigers last year. Assistant coach Tracy Dildy was a member of Cliff Ellis's staff and transfer Dwayne Curtis played in 19 games for the Tigers last year. This would be a great win if the Rebels could pull a road win off, we really need to win this one. The game will be broadcast live on Fox Sports South at 4:00 with former South Carolina coach Eddie Fogler providing color commentary
