Live Updates: Men’s hoops No. 22 Auburn vs UGA
We’re live from Stegeman Coliseum for No. 22 Auburn’s (11-2, 1-0 SEC) first Southeastern Conference road game against rival University of Georgia (10-3, 0-0 SEC).
Auburn returns to action after a 61-58 victory against Florida last Wednesday at Neville Arena in front of a sold-out crowd. Playing in Athens provides a homecoming for five Tigers. Zep Jasper (Augusta), Dylan Cardwell (Augusta), K.D. Johnson (Atlanta), Jaylin Williams (Nahunta), and Jalen Harper (Mableton) are all from the state of Georgia.
Johnson is making his second visit to Stegeman as a Tiger after transferring from Georgia once he finished his freshman season.
