For the second time in the last two road trips, Auburn found itself struggling to play against an extremely motivated team in an arena that they’ve hardly ever enjoyed.
Florida beat the 2nd-ranked Tigers today 63-62 to drop Auburn to 24-3 overall, and 12-2 in the SEC. With the loss, and with Kentucky’s victory at home over Alabama today, Auburn now holds a one-game lead on the Wildcats for the regular season conference title, and the Tigers still hold the tiebreaker for the top seed in the SEC Tournament.
Jabari Smith continued his torrid pace, picking up right where he left off on Wednesday night against Vanderbilt with a 28 point outburst, following up his 31-point night against the Commodores.
