Auburn men’s basketball sits atop the AP top 25 for a third straight week. It comes after a 53-51 victory over Tennessee, behind a double-double performance from leading scorer Johni Broome. Duke remains at No. 2 in the AP poll with the Iowa State Cyclones at No. 3.

The Vols were right there but could not make the winning play on the road at No. 1 Auburn. Tennessee allowed a late 3-pointer that ended up being the difference

Despite its struggles, Auburn made the right plays down the stretch. The Tigers went on a 6-0 run to close the game and forced Tennessee to miss six of its final seven shots to close the game. Jordan Mendoza of USA TODAY Sports says that Auburn’s win over the Volunteers proved that the Tigers have a “firm grasp on top of the sport” as the calendar flips to February in the weekly winners and losers feature.
