Tahaad Pettiford led Auburn with 24 points on 10-of-16 shooting. Keyshawn Hall added 21 points, Elyjah Freeman scored 15 and Kevin Overton 10.
Freeman and Overton hit back-to-back 3-pointers to spark an 11-2 run to open the second half that culminated when Pettiford converted a three-point play that gave Auburn an eight-point lead with 17:16 left in the game. The Tigers went nearly six minutes without a field goal and Ole Miss scored 27 of the next 34 points to take a 67-55 lead when Storr hit a 3 with 7:32 remaining.
Auburn responded with a 16-4 run that made it a two-point game with 3:20 to go, but Ilias Kamardine answered with a 3 and Pinkins made 6 of 6 from the free-throw line from there to seal it.
Auburn is 0-13 this season when trailing with five minutes left.
