It wasn’t pretty, but Auburn beat Georgia 74-72 Saturday in Athens.
Auburn led by as many as 15 points in the first half but needed some last-minute heroics from Wendell Green Jr. to complete the season sweep of Georgia.
Green, who was thrust into a starting role with Zep Jasper unable to play due to an illness, shined in the first half for Auburn.
Without Jasper, Green and KD Johnson had their biggest workloads of the season and it showed. The duo combined for 27 points in the first half but went 4-of-21 from the field in the second half.
But those baskets were huge, Johnson tied the game at 72 with 38 seconds to play and Green made the game-winning basket with 3.3 seconds left.
With the win, Auburn improved to 22-1 on the season and 10-0 in the SEC. Here are some takeaways from the game.
