ABOUT AUBURN (6-1): Jared Harper, one of three freshmen or redshirt freshmen in Pearl’s starting lineup, scored a personal-best 21 points in the win earlier this month over the Blazers. He buried five 3-pointers in eight tries after going 4-for-19 in his previous four contests, and forward Danjel Purifoy made four from beyond the arc for the second time in his last three outings. Senior guard Ronnie Johnson has scored 18 points in 30 minutes off the bench in the past two games.
ABOUT BOSTON COLLEGE (4-5): The Eagles have struggled to find offensive support for leading scorer Jerome Robinson, and they were hampered against the Hawks when the sophomore standout was held to four points on 2-of-13 shooting. A.J. Turner, another sophomore the squad is relying on for scoring punch, led the way with 13 points and seven assists. Boston College shot 34.4 percent from the field and committed 13 turnovers, its ninth straight game to begin the season with at least that many giveaways.

Auburn was a 74-70 winner in their most recent outing on the road against Blazers. They covered the +4-point spread as underdogs.
Both Auburn and Boston College were hoping to take a step forward this season with youthful, talented rosters, but only one program has done the job thus far. The rising Tigers look to continue their best start in five seasons when they tackle the stumbling Eagles in the Under Armour Reunion at Madison Square Garden on Monday.
Auburn should we well-rested, having not played since its 74-70 win at UAB on Dec. 3 in a game that saw Bruce Pearl’s young stars rally to survive a tough road test. “We didn’t panic too badly for as being as young a club as we are,” Pearl recently told reporters after his team was slotted into No. 18 nationally in the RPI rankings. “Our second-half defense was terrific. … Regardless of what happens for us this year, it’s going to do down as one of our better wins.” Meanwhile, the Eagles are coming off what might remain their worst loss, a 65-63 defeat at home against the America East’s Hartford, which entered 2-8 and had never defeated an ACC team. “If you don’t come to play in Division I basketball, you get beat,” Boston College coach Jim Christian told reporters after his team fell at home against a non-power conference team for the third time this season. “I don’t care who they are. I don’t care what their record is.”
