Auburn men’s basketball beat Georgia 82-70 Saturday afternoon, but it was the second game in a row the Tigers had problems with a team from the bottom half of the SEC, a week after beating then No. 2 Alabama on the road. Late free throws stretched the margin, but similar to Arkansas, Georgia had a chance to win in the final minutes.

The winning feeling is fleeting, and Auburn assistant coach Steven Pearl hopes his dad's team doesn't lose it the week after a historic Iron Bowl.

Alabama and Auburn played in one of the best games of the college basketball season last Saturday. And the viewership numbers reflected that.
