Auburn basketball manhandled another member of the nation's best conference for an expected win, and it showed again why it holds its No. 1 status. But a better question could be asked: Is anybody better than the Tigers?

Although Auburn is No. 1 in the latest KenPom update, they gained major ground in one category following Tuesday's action.

The game was in reach for the Sooners at halftime, but the Tigers played like the No. 1 team in the nation in the second half. Oklahoma kept within reach of No. 1 Auburn for the first half of Tuesday’s road game. But the Tigers showed why they’re the nation’s top-ranked squad in the second half.
