Auburn standout Keyshawn Hall could return at Mississippi State after benching

AUBURN, Ala. (AP) — Auburn's leading scorer, Keyshawn Hall, is practicing with the team and could return to the court at Mississippi State on Wednesday. Hall sat out a loss to 20th-ranked Arkansas on Saturday and was benched for the final 12-plus minutes of last week’s loss to No. 19 Vanderbilt.
