The No. 20 Auburn Tigers hit the road for the first time in conference play this Wednesday when they visit the Georgia Bulldogs for a 5:30 p.m. CT tipoff at Stegeman Coliseum in Athens.
Auburn opened the SEC slate last Wednesday by defeating Florida at Neville Arena, 61-58. It was a back-and-forth affair, but the efforts of [autotag]Johni Broome[/autotag] and [autotag]Wendell Green Jr.[/autotag] helped Auburn pull away in the final 90 seconds to earn the win. The duo scored 14 points each and would score the game’s final four points.
As for Georgia, they enter the game with a 10-3 record under first-year head coach Mike White, who spent the previous seven seasons as the head coach at Florida.
