ATHENS, Ga. — Auburn’s still No. 1, and Georgia still lost, but there were statements made by both teams as the Tigers came from behind to defeat the Bulldogs, 74-72, on Saturday at Stegeman Coliseum.
With Georgia’s homecourt packed and half-filled with visiting fans, Auburn’s Wendell Green drove the length of the court for a layup with four seconds remaining. That was the Tigers’ first lead since the 6:45 mark of the second half as Georgia had mounted a furious second-half comeback from 14 down to get back in the game.
The Bulldogs managed only a half-court try by Aaron Cook at the buzzer to flip the result. It went over the backboard.
