Auburn men’s basketball sits atop the AP top 25 for a second straight week. It comes after ranked wins over Mississippi State and Georgia, both without All-American center Johni Broome.

Auburn claimed the program’s second No. 1 ranking last week and won both its games despite playing without injured big man Johni Broome. The Tigers rolled over No. 14 Mississippi State 88-66 and survived a late comeback to beat then-No. 19 Georgia 70-68.
