If you’re an Auburn fan few things feel better than a dominating win over your oldest rival. The men’s basketball team did that Saturday in a 93-78 victory over Georgia.
It was evident that Bruce Pearl had worked his Tigers on the inside game after Auburn struggled in the paint in a road loss at OIe Miss. And it resulted in a hammering of Georgia. The Tigers only scored 12 in Oxford but put up 40 points in the paint Saturday.
The feel good story of the game belonged to Anfernee McLemore. The senior made a spectacular return from a season ending injury to block shots, grab nine rebounds, and score 15 points – In all in the paint.
