AUBURN, Ala.(AP) -- Brendon Knox's tip-in with 1.4 seconds left lifted Auburn to a 68-67 victory over Virginia on Monday night.

Virginia (4-4) didn't get a shot off before the buzzer.

Knox finished with 11 points and six rebounds, nearly doubling his season averages, and made all five field goal attempts.

Reed led Auburn with 18 points. Lucas Hargrove had 13 points and nine rebounds, while Frankie Sullivan added 12 points and Tay Waller 10 for the Tigers.

Sylven Landesberg had 17 of his 20 points in the first half for Virginia, missing all seven attempts after the half. Zeglinski made five 3-pointers and scored 18 points.
