Georgia (14-4, 2-3) struggled with free throws, making 9 of 20 from the line.
Takeaways
Auburn: The Tigers earned a Top 25 win without leading scorer Broome (17.9 points per game).
Georgia: The Bulldogs suffered their first home loss of the season (11-1). The loss snapped a 13-game winning streak at Stegeman Coliseum — the fourth longest home winning streak in program history.
Key moment
Down 70-67 with nine seconds to play in regulation, Georgia had a chance to tie the game at 70 after a Miles Kelly turnover led to Dakota Leffew getting a look from 3 with seven seconds to go. His shot was too strong. Asa Newell had a chance to tie it at the buzzer, but missed.
Key stat
The Tigers tallied 32 points off the bench in Broome's absence.
Up next
