At Neville Arena, the Tigers did not hold back on giving the Bulldogs one of their biggest losses of the season. Auburn dunked on Georgia 30 times. Georgia lost by more than 20 points, despite hitting nearly every shot in the second half.

Meanwhile, Auburn put on an offensive clinic performance Wednesday night. Here are a few takeaways from the game.

The Big Three

Wendell Green Jr., Johni Broome, and Allen Flanigan contribute to Auburn’s success when all three play well. It was an efficient night for the trio. Combined, they scored 59 points on 22-of-32 shots. Green and Flanigan were both 3-of-5 from behind the arc, while Broome recorded 18 rebounds on the night.

With 7:46 to go in the half, Broome recorded the first double-double of the season, scoring 13 points and pulling down a dozen rebounds. When Broome exited, he had seven points and eight rebounds. Minutes later, he returned back to the game, scoring on his first possession and grabbing a defensive rebound. Broome dominated the boards and helped Auburn finish with a 37-27 rebounding advantage that night. This included 13 offensive rebounds for the Tigers, with seven of them coming from Broome.

The Tigers outscored Georgia by three in the second half, despite a barrage of long-range shots by the Bulldogs. Among them were 20 points by Mardrez McBride, who scored on 6-of-8 in three-point shooting during the second half.

Furthermore, Georgia connected on 14-of-34 three-point attempts (41.2%), marking the most shots scored from deep that Auburn has allowed in a game this season. The previous high was nine by Ole Miss and West Virginia.
