The Tigers face off against Missouri tonight in what head coach Bruce Pearl describes as "the biggest game of the season."

Auburn (17-8, 7-5 SEC) has lost five out of their last six games and are now on the verge of being placed on the bubble for the NCAA Tournament.

Allen Flanigan, after opening the game with a three, now has two more points on a transition slam dunk over a Missouri defender.

You can watch Flanigan throw down the dunk in the video below.
