National Player of the Year candidate Johni Broome receives most of the attention for top-ranked Auburn’s stellar season, but other players have stepped up to deliver key performances.It was senior guard Miles Kelly who excelled in that role in the Tigers’ last contest and he will look to deliver another strong outing when Auburn faces No. 22 Texas A&M on Tuesday night in Southeastern Conference play at College Station, Texas.The Tigers (27-2, 15-1 SEC) have nothing to play for Tuesday after clinching the outright regular-season title on Saturday — and nobody’s questioning their credentials as a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament.Texas A&M (20-9, 9-7) figures to be quite hungry after losing four consecutive games.Auburn is coming off a stellar 94-78 victory over then-No. 17 Kentucky, its first victory in Lexington in 37 years and just its third in 54 overall visits.Kelly was hotter than lava as he made a career-best nine 3-pointers and scored a season-high 30 points. He personally ended the Tigers’ 20-game losing streak on Kentucky’s floor.”At shootaround, I fell in love with the rims,” Kelly said. “Everything I was putting up at shootaround was going in. I knew I would get some looks early and I knocked them down. My teammates did a great job of finding me.”The big performance lifted Kelly’s scoring average to 11.5, third on the squad behind Broome (18.4) and Chad Baker-Mazara (13.0). He has knocked down a team-best 69 treys and is making 41.1 percent of his shots from behind the arc.Kelly spent three seasons at Georgia Tech before transferring to Auburn after last season.He established career highs in scoring (14.4 points per game) and 3-pointers (89) as a sophomore with the Yellow Jackets. But as a junior, his overall shooting fell to 36.9 percent and his proficiency from 3-point range was just 32.1 percent.Baker-Mazara matched his season high of 22 points against Kentucky and reserve Tahaad Pettiford scored 21 points on a day in which Broome had just nine points.Texas A&M was sailing along with five straight victories before the current four-game slide that includes Saturday’s 89-70 loss at then-No. 3 Florida.
