Auburn Narrowly Defeats Georgia to Extend SEC Win Streak

The No. 1 Tigers edged No. 23 Georgia 70-68 in a dramatic finish, securing their 10th consecutive victory despite missing star player Johni Broome.

Freshman guard Tahaad Pettiford led Auburn with a season-high 24 points off the bench, including five three-pointers.
Georgia's Asa Newell recorded his fourth double-double of the season with 16 points and 10 rebounds but missed a chance to tie the game at the buzzer.
Auburn overcame poor overall shooting (39.3%) by excelling from three-point range, converting 43.5% of their attempts.
The Bulldogs struggled at the free-throw line, making only 9 of 20 attempts, which proved costly in the close contest.
The win marked Auburn's sixth victory against AP Top 25 opponents this season, tying a program record for ranked wins in a single season.
