It required a late push from Wendell Green Jr., but the No. 22 Auburn Tigers beat the Mississippi State Bulldogs 69-63 Saturday night at Neville Arena.
The win was Auburn’s third in a row and its 28th at home, the second-longest streak in college basketball.

The Bulldogs cut Auburn’s lead to 57-53 after Williams left, but Green scored seven straight points to help the Tigers pull the lead back to 64-55 and effectively end the game.
Green and Alan Flanigan also ended the game in double figures, scoring 17 and 10 points respectively.
Excited by the win, Auburn fans took to Twitter to celebrate, and here are their top reactions.
