AUBURN, Ala. – Janiah McKay had 25 points, Daisa Alexander had 21, and Auburn outscored Florida 49-19 in the second half to earn an 84-55 win in the SEC opener for both teams Sunday at Auburn Arena.
The Tigers (10-3, 1-0 SEC) overcame a 16-point first-quarter deficit to win their SEC opener for the fifth time in six years, thanks in large part to forcing the Gators (8-6, 0-1) into 28 turnovers, converting those into 33 points.
Meanwhile, Auburn tied a school record for fewest turnovers in a game with five and held the SEC’s top 3-point shooting team to just six treys while tying a season-high with eight 3-pointers of their own.
