Late rally lifts Auburn past LSU 84-80; Tigers off the schneid in SEC play

Auburn's SEC losing streak is no more. The Tigers rallied late in the second half Wednesday in Baton Rouge, La., to pull out an 84-80 win against LSU.

The blog wasn't there, but we watched it on TV.

Auburn (10-9, 1-3 SEC) scored 12 of the game's final 16 points to erase a four-point deficit. The Tigers avoided their first 0-4 start to league play since the 2005-06 season.

Five players reached double figures for Auburn. DeWayne Reed led the way with 21 points. Frankie Sullivan added 15 and Lucas Hargrove and Tay Waller both had 10.

LSU (9-9) dropped to 0-4 in SEC play. Forward Tasmin Mitchell scored a game-high 38 points on 15-for-22 shooting. He added 10 rebounds. Mitchell, Storm Warren and Bo Spencer combined for 67 of LSU's 80 points.

Auburn is back in action Saturday at Vanderbilt. Tip-off is 1:30 p.m. ET.

i know it was LSU, but a win on the road in the SEC, especially for this team, is nice to see. WDE.
