Good Morning, Auburn Family. Miles Kelly never had a doubt.

As soon as Johni Broome passed to Kelly in the corner, Miles did not hesitate, swishing a second-chance corner 3-pointer with 30 seconds left to give No. 1 Auburn a 53-51 win over No. 6 Tennessee Saturday at Neville Arena.

“As soon as it left my hands, I knew it was good,” Kelly said. “Those are the moments I live for.”

Auburn’s leading 3-point shooter with 45 makes at 42.5-percent, Kelly helped lead the top-ranked Tigers to a 7-0 start in SEC play and the AP No. 1 ranking for the second time in program history.
