AUBURN, Ala. (AP) _ Mack McGadney had 15 points and 10 rebounds as No. 7 Auburn overcame poor foul shooting Wednesday night to beat Belmont 65-56 for its 19th straight home victory.

Chris Porter added 12 points, 12 rebounds and three steals for the Tigers (3-1). They lost at No. 3 Stanford on Saturday in the Wooden Classic.

Belmont (3-2) got 27 points from Jay Lannin, who was 7-of-12 from 3-point range. He was 10-of-16 overall while the other four starters were just 8-for-36, including 3-for-20 on 3-pointers.

The Tigers led 36-25 at halftime, but went just 5-of-16 from the free-throw line in the second half. They were 6-of-18 from the line for the game.

Auburn's home winning streak is the second-longest in team history. Coach Cliff Ellis got his 99th career victory with the Tigers.

Point guard Doc Robinson had 12 points, seven assists, seven rebounds and three steals for Auburn. Scott Pohlman had 10 points.

Center Mamadou N'diaye, who had career highs in points his first two games, had a second straight subpar outing for Auburn. After being in foul trouble much of the game against Stanford, he finished with five points and three blocked shots.

Wes Burtner scored 11 points and had five assists for the Bruins. But he made just 2-of-13 shots and was 1-of-8 from 3-point range.
