Auburn built a 19 point first half lead, before Mississippi State surged ahead with a 36-12 run. Down 5 points late in the second half, Auburn forced overtime late and clinched a share of the SEC regular season championship with a dominant overtime period. Jabari Smith continued his stellar play with 27 points and 10 rebounds, and KD Johnson (who had 2 points in regulation) scored 12 points, had 2 steals, and didn't miss a shot in overtime. He made all the plays necessary late to help Auburn continue to make history with another championship. Auburn has a chance to keep the SEC championship all to themselves with a win over South Carolina in the regular season finale.
