| |  | AUBURN: The Tigers finished below .500 last year but undoubtedly took a step forward (four-win improvement) and finally have a glimmer of hope. In his third season, head coach Tony Barbee brings in two top recruits who should make an immediate impact in the SEC. Shooting guard Jordan Price has the physical tools to become a star at 6-foot-5 while small forward Shaquille Johnson is among the best pure athletes in the freshman class. And with last year's leading scorer Frankie Sullivan (12.6 PPG, 3.9 RPG) back in the fold, this team should be able to remain competitive in most conference games and not be completely embarrassed by the SEC elite. | | MISSOURI: In his second year coaching the Tigers and his first year in the SEC, Frank Haith will have his work cut out for him after he lost his stars to the NBA and brings back just one starter from a team that lost to No. 15 seed Norfolk State in the NCAA Tournament. That one player is among the most seasoned in the conference in Phil Pressey (10.3 PPG, 6.4 APG) who is a proven distributor. The key addition to the squad will be Connecticut transfer Alex Oriakhi (6.7 PPG, 4.8 RPG, 1.3 BPG), who is eligible to play immediately and is the type of defensive stopper needed to compete in the SEC. He is just one of three transfers who should be critical to this team's success, alongside Keion Bell (Pepperdine) and Earnest Ross (Auburn), both of whom are effective wing scorers. Then come conference play, another transfer, former top recruit Jabari Brown (Oregon), will also be able to play. That should create an extremely talented backcourt late in the season, while the frontcourt's success will rest on the shoulders of Laurence Bowers (11.6 PPG, 6.1 RPG) returning from an ACL injury and 6-foot-11 freshman Stefan Jankovic, who is raw, but has high upside. |

*Auburn-Missouri Preview* =========================
By ALAN FERGUSON STATS Writer
Auburn (8-12) at Missouri (15-5), 1:30 p.m. EDT
An inability to win on the road might end Missouri's lengthy stay in the Top 25, but it still has another chance to convince voters it deserves to stay.
The 17th-ranked Tigers will try to do that by remaining undefeated at home Saturday in Earnest Ross' first matchup with his former Auburn team.
Missouri dropped to 0-4 on the road Wednesday with a 73-70 loss to LSU, which was in last place in the SEC at the time. A 7-for-26 shooting performance in the first half (26.9 percent) didn't help but Missouri (15-5, 4-3) managed to cut a 16-point deficit to two with 1:06 remaining before falling short.
Phil Pressey had 25 points - one shy of matching his career high - but missed a tying 3-point attempt in the final seconds and finished 1 of 9 from beyond the arc.
That was among the reasons why coach Frank Haith had some pointed comments for his team after the game.
"It is all about trust. We take quick shots instead of executing offensively. We don't need guys trying to do more than just run the offense," Haith said. "That is all I want from them. Run the offense."
Jabari Brown had 19 points, increasing his team-best average in conference play to 17.6, while leading scorer Laurence Bowers (16.3 ppg) had 10 after a five-game absence due to a knee injury.
"It's frustrating," Brown said. "I don't make any excuses. I don't feel like there should be any excuses. We just didn't execute the way we needed to. We made some mistakes at the end that cost us the game.
"We just have to put this one behind us and keep moving. We can't focus on these losses too long. We have another game to play."
In that next game, Missouri will try to improve to 13-0 on its own floor. It routed Vanderbilt 81-59 in its most recent game there last Saturday.
Missouri will try for another blowout while maintaining its spot in the rankings. It's been in the Top 25 since debuting at No. 25 in the 2011-12 preseason poll. Missouri was ranked No. 2 on Jan. 23, 2012, and reached as high as No. 7 this season on Dec. 24.
The next team to visit Mizzou Arena has lost a season-high five in a row and three straight on the road. Auburn (8-12, 2-5) matched its season low for points and had its worst shooting performance (28.3 percent) in a 57-49 loss at Georgia on Wednesday.
The team's only two players averaging in double figures, Frankie Sullivan (16.8 ppg) and Chris Denson (11.9), were among three who scored 10 or more points against the Bulldogs. Allen Payne was the other with 13 points.
All three players were teammates of Ross in 2010-11, when he was Auburn's leading scorer (13.1 ppg) and rebounder (6.6 per game). He hasn't matched his numbers from that season so far, averaging 10.1 points and 5.5 rebounds.
Along with a potentially motivated Ross, Missouri is hoping guard Keion Bell will return from an ailing shoulder. The team has had only two games with a full complement of players.
Alex Oriakhi, who spent his first three seasons at Connecticut, is four points shy of reaching 1,000 in his career. He scored one point Wednesday when foul trouble limited him to 16 minutes.
This is the first meeting between Missouri and Auburn, and the only one this season.
