ATHENS, Ga. – Sophomore Daisa Alexander scored a game-high 22 points, but Auburn faltered in the second half to drop a 60-48 decision at No. 24 Georgia on Sunday at Stegeman Coliseum.
The Tigers (10-9, 1-6 SEC) led by as many as eight points in the third quarter, but went cold for several stretches that included multiple turnovers, allowing Georgia (17-2, 5-1) to pull ahead and pull away late.
“That third quarter really hurt us,” Auburn head coach Terri Williams-Flournoy said. “We came out great, but it’s a game of runs.
