It's the biggest basketball game at Georgia in years ... maybe since Dominque's days. Auburn All-American and former Player of the Year favorite Johni Broome remains out. The Tigers blew the doors off No. 15 Mississippi State on Tuesday in their first game without him, but that was at home. Remember that Office episode at the beginning where they are waiting for that balloon to fall? Not one of the better episodes (post-Michael Scott they mostly were not good) but that's how I feel like Auburn is here. Played awesome first game without Broome but I believe it catches up to them today on the road. Balloon falls/the VHS thing hits the corner.
The Tigers will be playing their second game without star Johni Broome after easily defeating Mississippi State. However, Georgia is built to give Auburn problems without Broome in the lineup. The Bulldogs are one of the biggest teams in the country and Georgia uses that size well. UGA is an elite offensive rebounding team and turns extra opportunities into baskets, ranking No. 2 in second-chance conversion percentage. Auburn’s defense ranks 190th in that category and that was with Brome’s 10.7 rebounds in the lineup. The Tigers are 2-1 in true road games. Auburn lost to Duke, beat Texas by five and South Carolina by three. It’s not easy to blow teams out on the road in the SEC. Take UGA +7 or more.
