Auburn 67, Appalachian State 53

Extending its non-conference regular season home win streak to 33, Auburn tuned up for SEC play with a 67-53 victory over Appalachian State Tuesday at Auburn Arena. "We're not a household name in the SEC nor do we deserve to be," Auburn coach Bruce Pearl said. "But we're also not a one-trick pony. It wasn't just the Final Four team. This team did what they needed to do. Part of the non-conference is preparing for the league. Ready or not, here it comes." The Tigers (6-2) used a 12-0 run down the stretch to pull away after the Mountaineers (6-3) pulled within two points.
