Both players were barred from getting on the second flight late Friday night and will remain on campus, missing Auburn&#8217;s highly anticipated matchup Saturday night. The No. 11 Tigers play fourth-ranked Houston at the Toyota Center, home of the Houston Rockets.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Howard and Hudson&#8217;s status beyond this weekend is unclear. Neither is a starter but both played 15-plus minutes in Auburn&#8217;s season-opening 94-43 win over Vermont on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>Publicly accessible flight data reveals the plane carrying the team\u00a0didn&#8217;t leave Alabama&#8217;s airspace before turning around. On Friday night, a report from the Fox TV affiliate in Birmingham, Alabama, stated Air Traffic Control&#8217;s contact with the plane included an on-flight message to ATC that &#8220;a bunch of basketball players&#8221; were &#8220;fighting,&#8221; prompting the plane to return to \u00a0Auburn University Regional Airport.<\/p>\n<p>A subsequent <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/WBRC6Hardison\/status\/1855075946493063506\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">tweet from WBRC&#8217;s Jonathan Hardison<\/a> included the following quote from a pilot on the plane: &#8220;Flight deck is secure, the threat level is contained. We just had \u2014 we&#8217;ll have police on the ground, we had two players that got into a physical altercation, clothes were ripped.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>When reached for comment Friday night, an Auburn spokesperson told CBS Sports the school was planning to release a statement, but as of Saturday morning that&#8217;s yet to happen.<\/p>\n<p>Power-conference programs almost always travel on chartered flights these days, and that was the case with the Tigers. Auburn did procure another flight late out of Alabama on Friday night; the plane landed after 1 a.m. local time.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Tigers are scheduled to face the Cougars at 9:30 p.m. ET. The teams are ranked No. 1 (Houston) and No. 2 (Auburn) at KenPom, marking only the ninth time since 2011-12 that the top two KenPom teams have squared off.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\n
