The SEC Home Opener brought the Georgia Bulldogs to town and Tom Crean made his maiden voyage to Auburn Arena. The Tigers came in after a disappointing loss to Ole Miss in their conference opener three nights earlier in Oxford. The Jungle was ready and packed an hour before tip.
Jared Harper got us started with a bang knocking down a 3 on the first possession and Samir Doughty would do the same 2 possessions later. Harper’s 2nd 3 a couple minutes later would get Auburn out to an early 11-4 lead.
Georgia would battle back and take the lead midway through the 1st half as both teams shot well in the game’s first 10 minutes.
