Johni Broome scored a season-high 31 points and added 14 rebounds as No. 1 Auburn defeated Georgia 82-70 on Saturday. For the second straight game, Auburn (25-2, 13-1 SEC) found itself in a tight contest against an unranked opponent before pulling away in the final minutes.

Johni Broome missed Auburn's first game this year against the Georgia Bulldogs, but he made up for it in their second meeting.

Two days after Auburn launched a website for Johni Broome’s National Player of the Year campaign, the Tigers' leading scorer proved again that it’s his award to lose.
