FINAL
Georgia 64, Auburn 61
A few missed, good looks -- one from KT and one from Granger. Bowers went to the line with 5 seconds remaining. Auburn was down two points. He missed the first and hit the second, which cut the UGA lead to one point. Then UGA hit a pair of threes. KT missed a desperate shot at the buzzer.

This has been a great basketball game. This must come down to KT. He hasn't been shooting all that well today (6-of-15 from the floor), but he's got 22 points. He's the guy you want with the ball.

Georgia 56, Auburn 54
So much for that momentum. Georgia has jumped back into this thing. Very frustrating moment just before this timeout when Alex Thompson, of all people, jacks up a three with 22 seconds on the shot clock. No. That is not what Bruce Pearl wanted. Georgia is 9-of-9 from the line this half. Auburn must stop getting beat off the dribble.

SECOND TIMEOUT OF THE SECOND HALF (@11:57)

Auburn 49, Georgia 45
KT is going off. He has eight points this half -- with a pair of threes. Auburn looks liked it was pulling away, then UGA pieced together a 6-0 run to close it up a bit. The Tigers look really confident today. A fun game to watch.

Auburn 37, Georgia 35
Nice start to the second half for Don Granger. He has a two and a three so far. Interesting to see Georgia going with the box/diamond-and-one against KT. They're definitely respecting him. As they should.

HALFTIME

Georgia 31, Auburn 28
Good news and bad news. Good news? Auburn is shooting 44 percent, very good for Auburn, and it's been really good in transition. Lots of deflections. The bad news is that Georgia's size is a real problem. They're outrebounding Auburn 18-10. Also, Bowers just looks out of sync. He's not hurting the team and actually had some really nice moves early in the game. Still, he's been sluggish since the 10:00 mark or so.

FINAL TIMEOUT OF THE FIRST HALF (@3:55)

Auburn 24, Georgia 21
The Tigers have forced 10 turnovers and have used them to create 16 points in transition. Good stuff. KT leads the way with 10 points on 3-of-6 shooting. Bowers looks tired.

THIRD TIMEOUT OF THE FIRST HALF (@7:24)

Auburn 20, Georgia 17
KT Harrell hit a pair of long shots there to really get the crowd going. Awesome to see a senior going out with a bang, you know? Auburn shooting 46 percent now -- not bad for Auburn. Moving along fine from Bruce Pearl's perspective.

SECOND TIMEOUT OF THE FIRST HALF (@11:48)

Auburn 11, Georgia 7
Very good defense from the Tigers. I mean -- awesome defense.

FIRST TIMEOUT OF THE FIRST HALF (@15:48)

Auburn 5, Georgia 5
Good news and bad news from an Auburn perspective. Ross-Miller has all five points. Also, Alex Thompson has played some nice defense on Djurisic -- the UGA forward. Good stuff so far.

THE GAME IS ON THE SEC NETWORK
