Auburn men’s basketball is two points from being undefeated, the Tigers’ only loss so far this season coming on Nov. 16, 73-72 to then-No. 1 ranked Houston.Beyond that, No. 22 Auburn (4-1) has feasted on small schools in its four wins. That won’t be the case Monday night at Michelob Ultra Arena near Las Vegas, when the Tigers face Oregon in both teams’ first game of the second annual Players Era men’s tournament.Auburn won’t have leading scorer and rebounder Keyshawn Hall in its lineup against the Ducks. Hall, who is averaging 23.3 points and 11 rebounds a game, suffered a lateral foot sprain late in the second half of the Tigers’ loss to Houston. He missed the team’s 112-66 win over Jackson State on Nov. 19.The 6-foot-7 transfer from Central Florida won’t be rushed back, Auburn head coach Steven Pearl told AL.com last week.”I mean, with him out, just got to step up. It’s the next guy up mentality and we’re trying to win it all,” Auburn’s Elyjah Freeman said. “All that matters is trying to win and stopping them from scoring.”Freeman is among six Tigers’ regular players who average double figures in scoring per game. Auburn is scoring 93.4 points per game as a team with a field goal percentage of 50% so far this season.Both teams will play back-to-back games this week, and potentially a third game in three days if they make it to the Players Era third-place or championship game on Wednesday, Nov. 26.Oregon (4-0) is the defending Players Era tournament champion. The Ducks won the inaugural edition last year with wins over Texas A&M, San Diego State and an 83-81 upset of then-No. 9 Alabama.Oregon took home the $1.5 million in NIL money awarded to the tournament’s first-place team.
