AUBURN, Ala. (AP) - Ole Miss surged back at the end of regulation to force overtime, but Auburn prevailed in the second overtime 69-68 Saturday afternoon.
Jarvis Summers scored 22 points and made several key buckets at the end of regulation and in the first overtime for Ole Miss (11-6, 1-2 SEC). Nick Williams added 13 points, and Murphy Holloway and Reginald Buckner both had double-doubles - Holloway with 11 points and 11 rebounds, Buckner with 11 points and 10 boards.
Frankie Sullivan scored 19 points and grabbed a key rebound to help Auburn survive.
The Tigers (11-6, 1-2) lost a 12-point lead in the second half and didn't manage a basket in the second extra period but managed to snap a three-game losing streak.
The 6-foot-1 Sullivan, who didn't score in the first half, won the battle for a rebound after Kenny Gabriel blocked Summers' off-balance shot in the final seconds. He missed both free throws but with 1-tenth of a second to play, the Rebels had no time to get a shot off.
Neither team made a field goal in the second overtime until Buckner's dunk off a pass from Summers brought the Rebels within a point with 34 seconds left.
That was it for the scoring. The teams combined for 7 points in overtime No. 2.
