Auburn men’s basketball beat Georgia 82-70 Saturday afternoon, but it was the second game in a row the Tigers had problems with a team from the bottom half of the SEC, a week after beating then No. 2 Alabama on the road. Late free throws stretched the margin, but similar to Arkansas, Georgia had a chance to win in the final minutes.

Coming into the No. 1 vs. No. 2 matchup against Alabama, it was understood that Auburn basketball was good. But know, the world knows it's tough, too.
