AUBURN, Ala. - The saying "all's well that ends well" describes Auburn's women's basketball's SEC opener vs. Florida perfectly. But it didn't start that way for the Tigers. Auburn opened the game by missing its first 17 shots and fell behind 18-2.

But from that point on, Auburn (10-3, 1-0 SEC) played arguably its best basketball of the season, outscoring the Gators 82-37 the rest of the way for an 84-55 victory at Auburn Arena Sunday afternoon. The 16-point comeback was the Tigers' largest since coming back from 17 points down to defeat Tennessee last season.
