Auburn upsets Tennessee 84-80

Auburn has upset No. 5 Tennessee at home. The Tigers defeated the Vols 84-80 on senior day. The Auburn crowd know as "The Jungle", was the loudest it's been all year. The player of the game was Auburn SF Chuma Okeke. He had 22 points and clearly sparked the Tigers to a comeback W. Auburn did a great job of drawing fouls against some of Tennessee's best players. The Vols second best player, Admiral Schofield got two fouls early, then got another when he came back in. Overall he fouled out. UT's best player Grant Williams finished with 3 fouls. Tennessee's best player in the game was clearly PG Jordan Bone who had 17 points. This was Auburn's fourth strait win and will probably be ranked after beating Alabama on the road and then upsetting Tennessee. This is the first time since 1994 that Auburn has beat a top five team.
