Dylan Cardwell just rocked the rim on an Allen Flanigan assist.

The Tigers are up 31-26 on the Ole Miss Rebels, who enter tonight's contest just 2-12 in the SEC. After a choppy start Auburn went on a run to stretch the lead - but Kermit Davis' squad has since climbed back into this one.

Plays like Cardwell's slam are keeping the crowd in it.
