AUBURN, Ala. (AP) - Kedren Johnson scored 16 points and Kevin Bright had 14 to lead Vanderbilt to a 62-55 victory over Auburn on Saturday night.
The Commodores (13-15, 7-9 Southeastern Conference) recovered after the Tigers (9-20, 3-13) whittled a lead of 14 points down to four several times in the second half.
Johnson had eight assists and five rebounds for Vanderbilt, which has won four of its last five games. Johnson hit four consecutive free throws, and Josh Henderson and Dai-Jon Parker each made a pair in the final 50 seconds.
Henderson scored 11 points. Bright, who hit the game-winner against Georgia on Wednesday night, made 4 of 5 3-pointers and had eight rebounds.
Chris Denson led Auburn with 16 points off the bench.
It's the third 20-loss season in Auburn history and the second in Tony Barbee's three seasons. The Tigers have lost 13 of their last 14 games.
