OXFORD, Miss. (AP) Walker Kessler scored 20 points and grabbed 10 rebounds, and No. 4 Auburn rallied from an early 14-point deficit to beat Mississippi 80-71 on Saturday night.

In extending its winning streak to 13 games, Auburn (16-1, 4-0 Southeastern Conference) also got 15 points from Jabari Smith, and 14 from both K.D. Johnson and Wendell Green Jr.

"Kessler was dominant. We don't win without him," Auburn coach Bruce Pearl said. "He rebounded, blocked shots and finished around the rim. It was just a great job. And we needed it tonight."
