QUOTING TONY BARBEE(On Arkansas-Pine Bluff) “Arkansas-Pine Bluff is kind of a dif-ferent team than they have been the last couple of years. They have a senior guard in Savalance Townsend, who is very good and does a great job of running the team but is also a really good scorer. (Lavoris) Weathers inside and (Daniel) Broughton inside are tough as well. They have a couple of new guys this year that have really stepped up and are playing really good ball for them. It is going to be a tough challenge. Anytime that you have to play a team that last year played us so close, they are going to come in here thinking they are going to get a win."

(On last year's comeback win against Arkansas-Pine Bluff) "We have a totally different team than we had last year with a lot of new guys, but we understand some of the games that we played last year with Pine Bluff coming in here and playing us really close. We understand the urgency of coming out and playing hard."

(On a quick turnaround after a 10 day layoff)

“I hope we respond well. It's been a good mix-ture for our guys to do a couple of things while we've been off. We've been working hard which has been good for us. We have had a few days off to rest some guys so that has been good as well. It has been a good mixture."

(What are you looking to get out of the Arkansas-Pine Bluff game besides a win with the Big East-SEC Challenge up next?) “We just need to get better. We have some guys in Frankie Sullivan and Varez Ward

who are still trying to shake off some rust off their game. We understand that. We have some guys who have been a little nicked up. We are just trying to get healthy every day."

LAST TIME OUTAuburn 78, Nicholls State 57(Nov. 28, 2011, in Auburn, Ala.)

Auburn set a school record with 17 blocked shots as it rolled to a 78-57 win over Nicholls State on Friday in Auburn Arena to remain unbeaten.

Varez Ward paced the Tigers with career-highs of 20 points and 8 re-bounds to go along with 5 assists and 3 steals. Frankie Sullivan scored 13 points and Allen Payne had 11, while Chris Denson and Josh Wallace each chipped in 10 off the bench. Rob Chubb and Willy Kouassi each had fi ve blocks while Kenny Gabriel added four. Auburn pulled away

Gabriel had a putback slam to start an 8-2 fi rst-half run that was capped by a three-point play from Chubb. A lay-up from Sullivan gave Auburn a 26-13 lead halfway through the fi rst period. Nicholls State cut the Auburn lead down to 33-32 with less than two minutes before halftime, but the Tigers responded with a 6-1 run to lead 39-33 at the break.

Trevon Lewis added a double-double with 15 points and 12 rebounds.

LAST TIME vs. ARKANSAS-PINE BLUFFAuburn 76, Arkansas-Pine Bluff 72(Dec. 5, 2010, in Auburn, Ala.)

Auburn used an 11-0 run in the fi nal four minutes of the game to come back and defeat Arkansas-Pine Bluff 76-72 in Auburn Arena. Freshman Allen Payne scored a career-high 16 points to lead four Tigers in double fi gures. With Arkansas-Pine Bluff holding its largest lead of the game at 72-65 with 4:04 remaining, Rob Chubb scored seven of his 14 points in the decisive 11-0 Auburn run. Chubb, who entered the game shooting 5-of-15 from the foul line, made 5-of-6 foul shots in the stretch and was 6-of-8 for the game. Chubb tied it with a pair of free throws at 72 with 59.9 seconds to go, and Arkansas-Pine Bluff turned it over with 43 seconds left. Nearly falling out of bounds, Payne rebounded his missed layup with 12 seconds remaining and threw it to Josh Wallace at the top of the key as Auburn called time out with 9.4 seconds to go. Tony Neysmith barely avoided a 5 second violation, fi nding Payne on a backdoor cut on the inbounds pass to the

rim as Payne laid in the game-winner with 7.4 seconds on the clock. Auburn forced Arkansas-Pine Bluff’s 18th turnover of the game, and Chubb sealed it with a pair of free throws with four seconds left. The Tigers led 15-8 and as much as 23-15 with 10:30 left in the fi rst half but allowed the Golden Lions to shoot 61.5 percent from the fi eld and 7-of-13 percent (.538) from 3-point range in the opening period. Arkansas-Pine Bluff came in averaging 51 points a game and led Auburn at halftime 48-44 as the Tigers shot 57.7 percent from the fi eld and 4-of-9 from 3-point range. Auburn held Arkansas-Pine Bluff to 47.4 percent shooting for the second half and 2-of-7 from behind the arc. Freshman Josh Langford scored all 13 of his career-high points in the fi rst half as foul trouble allowed him only 20 minutes of play. Jake Drum was a spark off the bench with 3 points and 4 rebounds in 5 minutes. Auburn shot 45.5 percent from the fl oor for the game, 35.3 percent (6-

SEASON NOTES

HELP ARRIVES The Tigers will have one of the top, if not the best, backcourts in the SEC in Frankie Sullivan, Texas transfer Varez Ward and Clemson transfer Noel Johnson. Sullivan was Auburn's leading returning scorer for last season before he had left knee surgery July 27, 2010, and missed all but 6 games last year. Ward, a Montgomery, Ala., native was a starting point guard at Texas before transferring to get closer to home. Johnson, who is not eligible until after fall semester, is an athletic 3-point spe-cialist.

HELP ARRIVES • PART II A highly-touted freshman class also brings help to the Tigers. Willy Kouassi, a top 60 recruit, is a 6-foot-10, 219-pound center from the Ivory Coast. Cedrick McAfee, a 6-3, 175 guard from Memphis Melrose High, is a top 125 recruit and will vie for playing time in Auburn's deep backcourt. Bernard Morena, who was a teammate of Kouassi's at Birmingham's Central Park Christian, is a 6-foot-8, 190-pound, forward from the Ivory Coast.

NOEL JOHNSON ELIGIBLE AFTER FALL SEMESTER Junior Noel Johnson, a 6-foot-7, 200-pound, sophomore guard who trans-ferred from Clemson, will be eligible to play after this fall semester and will have 1.5 years of eligibility for Auburn. “We are excited about Noel joining the Auburn Family,” said Barbee. “He is a talented player. When you have a guy with his size and his skills, a 6-foot-7 guard who can handle it, who can shoot it, who can pass it, he is a matchup nightmare for teams. He is a big-time shooter. When he lets the ball go you think it is going in every time. He shoots with range. He can do a lot of things. He is very skilled. “As good of a basketball player as he is, he is just as good a person. I am excited about what Noel is going to bring the Auburn Family on and off the fl oor.” A consensus top 56 prospect coming out of Fayette County High School in Fayetteville, Ga., in 2009, Johnson was rated as the nation’s No. 30 prospect by ESPNU, No. 40 by HoopsReport.com, No. 48 by PrepStars, No. 53 by Rivals.com, No. 54 by Hoop Scoop and No. 56 by Scout.com. Johnson played in seven games last season for Clemson while starting one and averaged 2.9 points and 1.6 re-bounds in 13.1 minutes. He played the most minutes in Clemson’s freshman class last season playing in all 32 games, averaging 4.8 points in 14.8 minutes per game. He shot 36.7 percent (29-of-79) from 3-point range and 73 percent from the foul line. Johnson averaged 9.0 points in Clem-son’s postseason games against NC State and Missouri in the NCAA Tourna-ment First Round. In the ACC Tournament fi rst round game vs. NC State, he scored an ACC-high 12 points on 4-of-5 shooting from 3-point range. Rated as the No. 3 small forward in his class by ESPNU, Johnson earned fi rst-team All-State honors as a senior when he averaged 21 points, eight rebounds and four assists for coach Andre Flynn. He led Fayette County to the Class 4A state championship game and a pair of region championships. He averaged 23.8 points and 8.4 re-bounds as a junior, was a three-time team MVP and scored over 1,500 points in his high school career. Johnson enrolled in classes at Auburn on Jan. 13. He is the son of Lynbert

“Cheese” Johnson, a star at Wichita State from 1976-79, who played for the NBA’s Golden State Warriors.

AUBURN ARENA QUICK SKETCH Entering its second season, the offi cial groundbreaking of the new $86 million Auburn basketball arena and practice facility was on Aug. 29, 2008. The Auburn Arena, with a capacity of 9,121, includes over 29,000 square feet of student-athlete space, a two-court practice facility, coaches offi ces, the Au-burn University Athletic Ticket Offi ce, an AU Team Store, the relocated Lovelace Museum and two food courts along with many other amenities. 360 Architecture of Kansas City, Mo., worked with Davis Architects of Birming-ham on the design of the arena. The fi rm of Robins & Morton of Birmingham served as construction manager. The 243,792 square foot facility features chair back seats along with bleacher seating for students. The building also provides im-proved facilities for the student-athletes, including men's and women's locker room suites with sports medicine facilities, lounges and team meeting rooms. Along with a strength and conditioning center, a two-court practice facility enables the team another practice areas. The arena has 12 luxury suites on the arena level that not only open inside the facility, but also opens on the outside of the arena for multiple entertaining op-portunities throughout the year. Loge box seating also is available as well as on-site food preparation. The seating confi guration offers better sight lines and moves fans closer to the court. The furthest seat is just 43 feet in elevation from courtside, compared to 60 feet in elevation at Beard-Eaves, with two-thirds of the seats in Auburn Arena being less than 27 feet in elevation from courtside. The scoreboard features a high-defi nition video board with full message/information center technology. For the student fan amenities, there is a private entrance, a private courtside commons and food court and courtside seating that permits standing with unobstructed views. The new facility serves as more than a sports complex. With over 12,000 square feet of banquet/entertainment space, its design affords ready adaptation into a site for concerts, other cultural events, convo-cations and other community gatherings.

On-campus student housing is adjacent to the new arena creating a unique "stu-dent village" experience.

2011 FALL SIGNEES• Jordan Price, 6-5, 218, G Decatur, Ga. (Southwest DeKalb HS) Jordan Price, ranked 71st nationally by Rivals.com, averaged 19 points, 6.5 rebounds and nearly four assists per game as a junior at Southwest DeKalb High under coach Dwayne McKinney. As a sophomore, he played at Chattanooga McCallie where he was named Tennes-see's Mr. Basketball. He attended the NBA Camp in Virginia for college prospects this past summer and was one of the outstanding scorers. H was named to the 2009 ESPNRise underclassmen All-American team. He won middle school championships and tournament MVPs leading his eighth grad team to a 21-0 record. Price chose Auburn over Memphis, Georgia, Georgia Tech, Ole Miss, Michi-gan and Miami (Fla.). "Jordan Price is a talented combo guard at his size at 6-foot-5, 218 pounds," said Auburn head coach Tony Barbee. "He can play the one. He can play the two. He can really score. He can run a team. He has a lot of talent."

• Shaquille Johnson, 6-5, SF Alpharetta, Ga. (Milton HS) Shaq Johnson, ranked 92nd nationally by ESPN.com, averaged 9.0 points and 7.0 rebounds as a junior at Milton High last year for coach David Boyd. The team had eight seniors last season, including four that signed Div. I scholarships. Johnson won the Under Armour Dunk Contest at Venice Beach, Calif., this past August that was televised by ESPN. The dunk contest featured Derrick Williams, the No. 2 pick of the 2011 NBA Draft. Johnson won the event with a windmill dunk, a high-fl ying dunk that cleared a 6-foot-9 player and a circus dunk by going through his legs and jamming left-handed. Johnson selected Auburn over Florida, Georgia, Georgia Tech, Clemson and Miami (Fla.). "Shaq Johnson is a ridiculous athlete who is still growing in his understanding of the game but has a chance to be a fantastic player because he has really worked on his game to not only be a good athlete, but to be able to shoot the ball out on the perimeter," said Barbee. "He plays

for a fantastic coach at Milton High. I am excited about Shaq."

• Jordon Granger, 6-9, 215, PF Florissant, Mo. (McClure North) Jordon Granger (pronounced Jor - Don), led McClure North High to the Missouri Class 5 State Championship last year while averaging 14.8 points, 8.8 rebounds and 3.8 blocks as the Stars had a 29-5 record under coach Randy Reed. In one week last season, he had a pair of triple-doubles in three wins with 14 points, 14 rebounds and 14 blocks vs. Normandy and 21 points, 10 rebounds and 6 blocks vs. Roosevelt and 16 points, 16 rebounds and 10 blocks vs. Jackson. Granger chose Auburn over Missouri, Arkansas, Illinois, Saint Louis U. and Detroit. "Jordon Granger, out of St. Louis, is a 6-foot-9, 215-pound power forward who is the kind of power forward that I like that is not just locked to the block," said Barbee. "He is a guy who can play in the post and rebound the ball but can also stretch the fl oor with his ability to handle it and his ability to shoot the three. He is a fantastic addition to the program."

• Asauhn Dixon-Tatum, 7-0, 230, C Anderson, Ind. (Chattahoochee Tech) Asauhn Dixon-Tatum (pronounced A - sahn) is attending Chattahoochee Tech in Marietta, Ga., this year after averaging 4.6 points, 4.0 rebounds and a conference-leading 2.2 blocks per game as a redshirt freshman at Div. II Grand Valley State in Michigan last year. His 59 blocks were the fourth highest in school history, and he shot 57.1 percent from the fi eld. He had a season-high 7 blocks in only 18 minutes vs. Lake Superior State, and scored in double-fi gures three times, including a season-best 11 points at Northern Michi-gan. Dixon-Tatum chose Auburn over Mem-phis, Ole Miss, UAB and Evansville. He averaged 11 points, 13 rebounds and 6 blocks in Chattahoochee Tech's fi rst three games on this season. "Asauhn Dixon-Tatum, a junior college center, is unique in that he is not your typical junior college player," said Barbee. "He is a late bloomer who graduated high school at 6-foot-9, 190 pounds. Now after going to a Div. II school for two years, he is 7-foot, 230 pounds with a 7-foot-4 wingspan and a 36-inch vertical jump. He is extremely athletic for someone who is

7-foot. He has a unique ability to block shots and rebound the ball because of how high he plays above the rim, and he is a developing offensive talent."

AUBURN TRIPLE-DOUBLES? Never in the 106 seasons and 2,312 games of Auburn Basketball (1232-1079-1) (.533) has a Tiger recorded a coveted triple-double.

Kenny Gabriel added 12 points and 8 rebounds, Allen Payne 12 points, 6 boards and 4 assists and Josh Wallace 12 points and 5 assists. Auburn outrebounded the Lions 47-30. Auburn opened a 13-1 lead and Paine missed its fi rst seven shots from the fi eld before its fi rst basket with 12:47 left in the fi rst half. The Tigers responded with a 26-7 run to push their advantage to 39-10 with just over four minutes to go. The Lions shot just 5-for-26 (.192) from the fi eld in the fi rst half and 33.3 percent for the game. Chris Denson knocked down a pair of treys followed by a Varez Ward free throw to give Auburn a 33-point advantage. Auburn led 50-19 at the half. The Lions used a 15-4 run to close to 57-34 with 15:43 left.
