It's been two weeks since Auburn lost its Peach Bowl matchup against UCF, and it's likely that loss is going to sting for some time.

Especially if the jeers aren't relegated to football season.

Auburn fans were reminded once again of that loss on Saturday when the 22nd-ranked Tigers traveled to Mississippi State. The Bulldogs' student section could be heard chanting "UCF! UCF! UCF!" as sophomore guard Mustapha Heron went to the free-throw line with Auburn down 23-15.

For what it's worth, the attempt to get in Heron's head didn't work: He went 2 for 2 at the line and finished with 14 points and five rebounds in the 76-68 Auburn win.

Regardless, it looks like that Peach Bowl loss isn't going away anytime soon for the Tigers.
